During the fifth inning of a Mets-Phillies game, third baseman Alec Bohm complained about glare coming off two parabolic microphones flanking the batter's eye in centerfield after grounding into a double play. Stadium staff removed the microphones, producing an approximately 20-minute delay. The complaint and removal drew backlash from media figures. Analyst Ricky Bottalico noted the microphones had been present since at least 2017 and criticized the 19-minute delay. Broadcaster Gary Cohen called the stoppage "one of the sillier delays I've ever seen." Mets manager Carlos Mendoza suggested an adjustment was made after the complaint and downplayed the incident.
OK Alec, you had a good defensive game but what really kind of got to me? You caused a 19-minute delay on something that's been there since at least 2017.
We went back and checked. That exact same thing has been there since 2017.
one of the sillier delays I've ever seen.
I don't know if somebody turned it because the one from the left side wasn't the problem. So they complained and obviously we made an adjustment and that was all there was to it.
