Maybe it was the two-hour rain delay, the New York Mets’ 0-4 start, or an awkwardly long camera shot from the SNY crew, but award-winning broadcaster Gary Cohen clearly wasn’t in the mood to be on Citi Field on Tuesday night in Queens.

Sitting next to former Mets first baseman, 1979 National League MVP and fellow broadcaster Keith Hernandez, Cohen was instructing his audience to go get some food as the umpires decided whether or not to postpone Tuesday’s game. against the visiting Detroit Tigers.

“Get whatever snacks you can and try to stay nourished,” Cohen said awkwardly as he tried to fill the empty time resulting from the rain delay.

Both Cohen and Hernandez sat with frozen expressions on their faces as the SNY cameras remained fixed on their gazes. The smiling Cohen cast a few glances off-screen, presumably to see when he was off-screen.

Unfortunately for Cohen, he was still on screen when his smile disappeared, revealing an exhausted, frustrated and exasperated expression, much to the delight of Hernandez and the Mets fans at home.

“The Mets will do that to you,” one fan wrote on X.

‘I love it!’ added another. “He’s one of us.”

One fan linked Cohen’s reaction to the team’s woeful start: “It’s going to be a looong season.”

Ultimately, the game was postponed until Thursday.

Right-hander Adrian Houser, acquired from Milwaukee in a trade in December, was scheduled to make his Mets debut on Tuesday and instead was also postponed until Wednesday night.

It rained all day in New York City and the tarp was never removed from the Citi Field infield. With continued rain forecast for Wednesday that could also jeopardize that night’s game, teams waited nearly two hours before Tuesday night’s game was canceled.

‘We can’t control the weather. So in an ideal world, we have the games when we’re supposed to,” Hinch said about four hours before the postponement. “I think the most important thing is not to waste the launch.”

Under Carlos Mendoza, the Mets are 0-4 for the first time since losing their first five in 2005.

Detroit is 4-0 in its best start since its six-win opener in 2015. All four wins came on the road: two in extra innings and the first three (against the Chicago White Sox) by one run.

Under new manager Carlos Mendoza, the Mets are 0-4 for the first time since losing their first five games in 2005. They also had a rookie manager that season: Willie Randolph.

You hate going through that. You hate to see it, especially the way we’ve been playing. They know. They know we’re better than that,’ Mendoza said. ‘But at the same time, this is not the first time this has happened to them. Turns out, they’re the first four games of the season. And everything we went through during the weekend, not as we expected. But again, I’m pretty confident that with the guys we have in that room, we’ll turn things around very soon here.”

New York was rained out for the second time this season, after last week’s opener against Milwaukee was delayed a day to Friday.
