During the Subway Series game on July 6, 2025, New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza was ejected in the ninth inning by home plate umpire John Bacon following a dispute over strike calls, particularly after Luis Torrens struck out looking. Mendoza expressed his frustration by kicking dirt on home plate before leaving the field. Both Mendoza and catcher Luis Torrens were involved in arguing balls and strikes, and the incident followed earlier confrontations with the umpire, including Mets manager Boone nearly being ejected earlier in the game. The ejection was widely noted by broadcasters Gary Cohen, Keith Hernandez, and Ron Darling during the SNY broadcast, with Hernandez and Cohen commenting on Mendoza's actions. In a separate event on July 10, 2025, during a Mets broadcast in Baltimore, a foul ball unexpectedly landed in the SNY Mets booth, nearly hitting broadcaster Keith Hernandez. The incident was humorously discussed by MASN Orioles broadcasters Kevin Brown and Ben McDonald, who praised the Mets broadcast team despite the close calls with foul balls.
