Keith Hernandez Had an Orgasm Watching Pete Crow-Armstrong, Reminding New York Mets of "Worst Trade"

The Mets fired Carlos Mendoza on Friday after Chicago swept them in a four-game series, dropping New York to a season-worst 13 games below .500. The sweep was the final straw for the struggling Mets organization.

During Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader on SNY, Mets color analyst Keith Hernandez had a verbal orgasm watching a replay of Crow-Armstrong race around the bases to score on a Michael Conforto double hit to left field. He was fawning over the elite base running while also reminding Mets fans about one of the worst trades in franchise history.

At the 2021 trade deadline, the Cubs traded Javier Baez to the Mets for Crow-Armstrong, who had only played six games in the Mets' minor league system after suffering a torn labrum. Because Crow-Armstrong was so unknown at the time, the Cubs were able to talk the Mets into the deal.

Baez only gave the Mets six good weeks before the team flamed out in the final two months of the 2021 season, going from 55-48 to 77-85 after the trade. Following the season, Baez signed a free agent deal with the Detroit Tigers.

Through the 2026 season so far, the 24-year-old Cubs center fielder is slashing a 147 wRC+ with 17 home runs, 18 stolen bases, and a 4.8 fWAR, which ranks No. 1 among all position players in baseball. He also extended his hitting streak to 14 games in the series finale against the Mets with a go-ahead RBI double in the 10th inning.
