Bizarre erection medicine ad-read sparks hilarious exchange between Mets announcers
New York Mets announcer Gary Cohen is known for his flawless delivery, whether he's calling game action or reading an advertisement for chewable erectile disfunction medicine. The trick, as he revealed to broadcast partner Keith Hernandez on Saturday, is not thinking too hard. Case in point: Cohen was reading a few spots during the Mets' 8-2 win over the visiting Colorado Rockies on Saturday when he came across one for BlueChew. '… By BlueChew,' Cohen said, adding the company tag line: 'Chew it and do it.' Hernandez, the color commentator and beloved former Mets first baseman, couldn't help but ask: 'What did you mean by that?' Cohen didn't struggle for an answer. Gary Cohen: "By BlueChew. Chew it and do it." Keith Hernandez: "What did you mean by that?" Gary Cohen: "I just read the copy here. I try to give it a good read. Try and give the advertiser everything that they paid for, Keith. And then it's somebody else's problem." #MLB — Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) May 31, 2025 'I just read the copy here,' Cohen calmly told Hernandez. 'I try to give it a good read. Try and give the advertiser everything that they paid for, Keith. And then it's somebody else's problem.' The exchange provided fans with a few laughs, given that BlueChew is an ED medication. So while 'chew it and do it' is a rather straightforward tag line, Cohen somehow managed to keep his dignity in the face of Hernandez's prodding with the help of some willful ignorance. 'I did read it well, didn't I?' Cohen asked. 'Oh, you're a champ,' Hernandez responded without giving away anything. 'You're a pro.' In addition to their collective laughter, Mets fans responded to the exchange by reasserting their opinion that Cohen, Hernandez and Ron Darling remain the best announcers in baseball. 'The Mets have the best booth and it's not even close,' one fan wrote on X. Another added: 'I don't know how I will ever survive without these guys at the booth. They have truly left the most largest of shoes to ever fill. It doesn't get better than these guys. They defined my childhood they have been with me my whole life.'

Keith Hernandez had no idea how to react to ED medication ad read: ‘What did you mean by that?'
Mets announcer Gary Cohen does plenty of in-game ad reads, but this one left Keith Hernandez beyond confused. Ahead of the top of the eighth inning in Saturday's Mets win over the Rockies that aired on WPIX, Cohen did an ad read for BlueChew, a medication for erectile dysfunction, in which he told viewers to 'chew it and do it.' Hernandez was left perplexed by Cohen's statement, asking him the meaning behind it after a brief pause. Advertisement Gary Cohen: "By BlueChew. Chew it and do it." Keith Hernandez: "What did you mean by that?" Gary Cohen: "I just read the copy here. I try to give it a good read. Try and give the advertiser everything that they paid for, Keith. And then it's somebody else's problem." #MLB — Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) May 31, 2025 'What did you mean by that?' Hernandez said. Cohen responded by saying he was simply reading what was given to him. Advertisement 'I just read the copy here,' Cohen replied once the eighth inning began. 'I try to give it a good read. Try and give the advertiser everything that they paid for, Keith. And then it's somebody else's problem.' Gary Cohen, Ron Darling and Keith Hernandez celebrate 20 years on SNY. SNY The Mets' broadcast crew, which consists of Cohen, Hernandez and Ron Darling and mostly calls games on SNY, is known for its comical moments throughout games, with the trio already having multiple instances similar to this already this season. Earlier this month, the booth berated the umpires during a game against the Diamondbacks after a few questionable calls. Advertisement During the ninth inning of the 4-2 loss on May 1, Mets reliever Ty Adcock threw a pitch that clearly hit the bat of Arizona third baseman Eugenio Suarez and landed in catcher Luis Torrens' glove, but umpire John Bacon called the pitch a ball, which left the announcers mortified. Francisco Lindor celebrates with teammates after the final out of the Mets' 8-2 win over the Rockies on May 31, 2025. Corey Sipkin for the NY POST 'John Bacon does not seem to know the difference between a ball hitting a bat and a bat hitting a glove,' Cohen said. 'That was clear a foul tip for strike three. … I mean, what's going on, Keith?' 'Two series in a row just el stinko,' Hernandez replied.

Gary Cohen, Keith Hernandez had enough of brutal umpiring in Mets-Diamondbacks series: ‘El stinko'
Gary Cohen and Keith Hernandez didn't hide their feelings about the umpiring crew in charge of this week's Mets-Diamondbacks series. And Thursday's matinee got to a point where both really made sure to let their SNY audience know how they felt. Advertisement Things came to a head in the top of the ninth in Arizona's 4-2 win at Citi Field when the Diamondbacks loaded the bases with two outs and slugger Eugenio Suarez up at the plate. Reliever Ty Adcock's slider in a 1-2 count didn't break back over the plate, but the ball did clearly hit the bat of Suarez and landed in catcher Luis Torrens' glove, which would've been a foul tip strike three. Both Torrens and manager Carlos Mendoza pleaded with home plate umpire John Bacon, who did not seem to agree and called the pitch a ball. Cohen then tore into Bacon's ability to call the game behind the dish. The Mets argued that the ball had hit Suarez's bat. 'John Bacon does not seem to know the difference between a ball hitting a bat and a bat hitting a glove. That was clear a foul tip for strike three. … I mean, what's going on, Keith?' Advertisement After Suarez popped out to end the inning, Hernandez then summarized his feelings on the umpiring crews from the past two series. 'Two series in a row just el stinko,' the ex-Mets first baseman said. John Bacon was in Gary Cohen's crosshairs. Notably, during the last series in Washington, Jesse Winker hit into a triple play in the opener after his line drive to first base was incorrectly called a catch, as multiple replays on the TV broadcast showed the ball hit the ground, which would've kept the ball in play and likely eliminated a triple play. Winker was at the center of another controversial call during Wednesday's game in which he appeared to foul a ball off his foot with the bases loaded in the ninth inning. Advertisement It was instead ruled a fair ball and ended up as an RBI groundout. Two batters later, the Mets lost, 4-3. Gary Cohen and Keith Hernandez (center, right) were both fuming about the umpiring. SNY All three plays were not reviewable. The Mets next head to St. Louis for a series with the Cardinals after losing two out of three against Arizona.
