NextImg:Marlins broadcasters dunk on reeling Mets during crushing loss

The Mets’ broadcasting team wasn’t the only one going in on the Amazin’s on Friday night.

The Marlins’ broadcast got in on the action as well during Miami’s 6-2 win over the Mets, in which New York suffered a disastrous loss that allowed the Reds to take over the National League’s final wild-card spot.

“I don’t think there’s any doubt in my mind, the last time that the Marlins and Mets have gotten together, the Marlins have flat-out been the better baseball team,” Marlins announcer Kyle Sielaff said on the home team’s broadcast. “They have wanted every single game more. They are a better team. And Mets fans can disagree, but the proof has been in the pudding. 

“They have flat-out wanted it more and they are a better team. And I know that’s a tough pill to swallow when you have a $400 million payroll.”

Given that Miami won three of four at Citi Field in August, it’s tough to argue there.

All three members of the SNY team expressed disgust at the Mets’ performance Friday, with Ron Darling saying of the disastrous fifth inning that, “You might take your whole travel ball team off the field if something like that happens.”

“And it’s not the first time, too,” Keith Hernandez added. “They have made a lot of mental errors over the past 9-10 games.”

After the Mets surrendered a 2-0 lead, Pete Alonso bobbled a grounder to allow the go-ahead run to score.

Miami catcher Agustin Ramirez then stole second and third, the former without a throw and the latter with Ronny Mauricio playing way off the bag, allowing him to score on a single. Connor Norby then exacerbated the damage with a two-run bomb.

To make matters worse, the Mets didn’t record a hit after the third inning.

With two games left in the regular season, the Mets are staring a collapse right in the face and could miss the playoffs entirely as the Reds hold the tiebreaker.

They face Miami again on Saturday at 4:10 p.m.
