Keith Hernandez Out, Todd Zeile Steps In

0:00On April 1st, Mets fans, your boy Keith Hernandez is sitting out the next five games with a nagging back injury. The SNY legend, who's been killing it in the booth for years, won't be there as the team wraps up in St. Louis and heads to San Francisco. Todd Zeal steps in to handle color commentary alongside Play by Play Ace Gary Cohen. It's a solid swap, keeping that top tier broadcast vibe alive while Hernandez heals up. Fans are bummed, no doubt. Mets Nation loves their broadcast crew, one of the best in baseball. Hernandez brings that old school swagger from his playing days and his absence hits different during this road trip. He's in his 21st season calling game since SNY launched in 2006, usually teamed with Cohen and Ron Darling. Before broadcasting, he crushed it over 17 MLB seasons, batting 296 with over 2000 hits. Expect him back sometime next week if all goes smooth. In the meantime, Zeal's got the mic and the Mets keep pushing.
