As a long-time Mets fan, I’ve been listening to Gary Cohen call games for years. I used to think he was one of the best in the business, with his smooth delivery and his knowledge of the game. But lately, it seems like Cohen has become complacent and is just mailing it in.
One of the biggest examples of this is his use of his signature catchphrase, “It’s outta here!” Every time a player hits a home run, Cohen trots out that tired old phrase, like he’s just going through the motions. It’s become stale and predictable, and it’s a far cry from the excitement and enthusiasm that Cohen used to bring to his calls.
Another issue I have with Cohen is his lack of excitement when a Mets player hits a home run. Sure, he might say “It’s outta here!” in his usual monotone voice, but there’s no real passion or energy behind it. It’s like he’s just going through the motions, and he doesn’t really care about the game or the team.
I understand that Cohen has been calling Mets games for a long time, and he’s probably seen a lot of home runs in his day. But that’s no excuse for his lack of enthusiasm and his reliance on the same old catchphrase. It’s time for Cohen to step up his game and bring some excitement and energy back to his calls.
The Mets are a team with a rich history and a passionate fan base, and they deserve to have a broadcaster who is equally passionate and enthusiastic. It’s time for Gary Cohen to step up his game and start bringing the excitement back to his home run calls. It’s time to retire the tired old catchphrase and start bringing some energy and excitement back to the broadcast booth.
