Not only did the New York Mets lose to the San Diego Padres in their NL Wild Card Series, but they embarrassed themselves in the Game 3 loss on Sunday night.
The Mets were shutout 6-0 and got just one hit in the game. Though they were facing an ace in Joe Musgrove, you expect a lot more from a multi-million dollar offense. The Mets even resorted to trying to rattle Musgrove with a substance check that didn’t pay off.
But the Mets looked like absolute fools when Edwin Diaz entered the game to pitch in the 8th inning.
The Mets were down 4-0 and San Diego had runners on first and second when Diaz was called on. Though the team was losing by a lot and facing elimination, they still did Diaz’s celebrated trumpets routine.

The trumpets scene is energizing and awesome when Diaz is entering for a save opportunity. But it looks silly when the team is losing, as they were in Game 3.
Making matters uglier, Diaz allowed a 2-run single by Juan Soto to make it 6-0.
The trumpets are glorious for save opportunities, but silly when the team is losing. Jerry Seinfeld was right.
