SNYs Gary Cohen eviscerates Marlins for decision…
The Marlins bought ripped to shreds for what Mets play-by-play announcer Gary Cohen felt was an egregious mistake.
In the underside of the sixth inning of Tuesday’s Mets-Marlins recreation, first-year Miami supervisor Clayton McCullough determined to deliberately stroll Juan Soto with first base open to load the bases and face the red-hot Pete Alonso.
It wasn’t the stroll that set off Cohen, although; it was that the Marlins determined to nonetheless play the infield in to cut the runner down at home, despite the fact that the bases had been loaded and Alonso ranks within the tenth percentile in foot velocity.

“And again they bring the infield in with the bases loaded and one out against Alonso,” Cohen stated, beside himself. “What is going on? Why? Why would you set up the double play and then not play for the double play? … Something is askew.”
Two pitches into the at-bat, Alonso made the argument a moot level when he ripped a bases-clearing double into left-center subject to put the Mets up 9-5.
But Cohen discovered one more reason to call out the Marlins.
“Do you see how shallow the center fielder [Derek Hill] is playing? I mean against Pete Alonso, what are you doing?”
