Just when it seemed like things couldn’t get worse for the Mets, they got even lower. 

In a comical scene in the top of the eighth and the team down 9-3 against the Dodgers on Wednesday afternoon, Mets reliever Jorge López was ejected from the game mid-count by third base umpire Ramon De Jesus, and then, in a show of frustration, he tossed his glove into the stands, with the gear landing in the hands a group that was wearing Dodgers and Yankees gear. 

It wasn’t abundantly clear what López said to get himself kicked out of the game, but De Jesus was seen shouting in the direction of the Mets pitcher before SNY play-by-play man Gary Cohen realized that López had been sent to the clubhouse early. 

“De Jesus has a short fuse,” analyst Keith Hernandez said on the broadcast. 

The frustrated López then walked to the dugout, and in a moment of anger, tossed his glove over the netting into the stands. 

The spectators seemed to be over the moon with the unexpected souvenir as one fan raised his first in celebration. 

“That’s where the Mets are at right now. It’s not a good optic,” Hernandez added.
