Mets Fans Disappointed by Broadcast and Game Outcome Against Marlins

Mets fans expressed their frustration during the series finale against the Marlins on Sunday, particularly regarding the broadcast quality. The game was part of the Roku MLB Sunday Leadoff package, featuring Marlins announcer Paul Severino and analyst Anthony Recker. Fans were particularly displeased with Severino's lackluster call of Brandon Nimmo's sixth-inning home run, which gave the Mets a brief 2-1 lead. Social media erupted with complaints about Severino's commentary, with many fans longing for the familiar voice of Mets announcer Gary Cohen. Critics took to platforms like X to voice their dissatisfaction, describing Severino's call as "boring" and questioning the decision to feature a Marlins announcer for a Mets game. One user lamented, “Games without Gary Cohen suck,” highlighting the emotional connection fans have with their team's broadcasters. The sentiment was echoed by others who felt that the broadcast did not meet their expectations for a national audience. In addition to the commentary issues, fans reported problems with the accessibility of the game broadcast and streaming difficulties, further compounding their frustration. The Mets ultimately lost the game 3-2, a disappointing result as they face a challenging schedule ahead. Looking forward, the Mets will host the Orioles for a three-game series before embarking on a tough road trip that includes matchups against the Padres and Diamondbacks, intensifying the pressure on the team to perform.
