Things did not go well for the New York Mets on the field Thursday, but it was almost worse in the Mets’ broadcast booth.<\/p>\n

The Mets were swept in their doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles Thursday at Camden Yards, and one of the franchise’s retired legends was inches away from joining a couple Mets on the injured list.<\/p>\n

In the bottom of the seventh in game two of the doubleheader, O’s outfielder Cedric Mullins hit a foul ball straight back and toward the SportsNet New York (SNY) booth.<\/p>\n

Play-by-play announcer Gary Cohen said the ball “went right past Keith [Hernandez]’s ear, and he never saw it.”<\/p>\n

Cohen was not lying.<\/p>\n

Hernandez is one of the greatest defensive first basemen of all time with 11 Gold Gloves. Naturally, the O’s broadcast team thought he had caught the ball.<\/p>\n

But SNY showed a replay from inside the booth, and while Cohen geared up to potentially catch it, Hernandez’s eyes were nowhere near the ball.<\/p>\n

The replay showed Hernandez looking back down and only reacting to the noise of the ball hitting the wall behind him. And hilarity ensued in the booth.<\/p>\n

“We can laugh about it now. But if that ball had been just a few feet to the left, you could have been done for the season. Or maybe forever,” Cohen said.<\/p>\n

The Mets led 1-0 entering the eighth inning of the first game, but the bullpen could not hold the lead. Baltimore won the second game, 7-3, despite a 2-0 deficit in the first inning.<\/p>\n
