Then, after beating the New York Mets in the first game of their four-game series, they got completely shut down in three straight games, losing by scores like 10-3 and 9-0.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019d imagine wins like that would be must-see TV for Mets supporters, but SNY broadcaster and Mets legend Keith Hernandez couldn\u2019t bring himself to watch.<\/p>\n<p>During the Mets\u2019 4-3 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday, SNY play-by-play announcer Gary Cohen was explaining to Hernandez that Francisco Lindor has started getting more aggressive in the team\u2019s last two games, which includes one of those wins over the Giants. Hernandez, however, came clean that he had to turn off those games due to San Francisco\u2019s pitiful performance.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Gary Cohen tries to throw some analysis from the last couple of games at Keith Hernandez.<\/p>\n<p>Hernandez basically doesn\u2019t want to hear it and says he had to turn the games off because they were so bad. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/iTihEQGHWd\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/iTihEQGHWd<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jimmy Traina (@JimmyTraina) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JimmyTraina\/status\/2041614154826477605?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">April 7, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know, I tried to watch the Giants series, Gare, but the Giants played so horribly that I had to turn it off,\u201d said Hernandez.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTodd [Zeille] and I were not compelling enough to keep your attention?\u201d joked Cohen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHad nothing to do with you guys.
