One of the best things about the 2022 season for the New York Mets was, of course, closer Edwin Diaz coming into games to the sounds of Timmy Trumpet and Blasterjaxx’s Narco, with mascots Mr. and Mrs. Met “playing” along and fans going nuts. It immediately became one of the all-time best entrance songs for closers.
But with the Mets struggling to get anything going against the San Diego Padres in Game 3 of their Wild Card series, Buck Showalter brought in Diaz to pitch in the eighth and stop the bleeding.
And MLB fans couldn’t believe Mr. and Mrs. Met were out there on the trumpets:

Now that I’ve had an hour to think about it, playing the trumpet song while Diaz walked into a funeral might be the funniest Mets thing ever

Bob Melvin should ask the umpires to check if Mr. Met is really playing the trumpet.

Saddest trumpets you will hear. Talk about bad timing to do the trumpet thing @Mets. Just sad. 🎺

It’s his intro song so you have to play it but you most definitely do not have to send Mr Met out there with a trumpet lmao
