Keith Hernandez has been at this broadcasting thing a while, but he might not have the hang of it yet.
Early in Monday’s Mets-Dodgers game, the SNY broadcast had returned from a commercial, but Hernandez apparently thought he still was off the air and let loose with his decidedly un-family-friendly analysis of another game.
While Gary Cohen was discussing Nationals starter Tanner Roark, who gave up six runs in 2 ²/₃ innings against the Marlins on Monday, Hernandez interjected: “Roark’s been getting his tits lit.”
“Yeah, he really has,” Cohen agreed.
Within an hour, the gaffe was all over social media, with Twitter users debating whether it was the kind of classic Hernandez goof that makes the ex-Met so lovable or so lamentable in the booth.

If baseball didn’t have these idioms I wouldn’t have been so drawn to it.
What’s wrong with what he said? If we’ve learned anything at all from the left, men have tits. Even vaginas.
Hernandez is a terrible broadcaster. He’s distracted, often wrong, insulting, has a bit of an evil streak in him and laughs inappropriately. That’s why I love him.
Being perpetually offended is a fetish nowadays. Wonder how Bob Uecker would fare today?
Keith: Baseball’s Donald Trump. Love him!
COME ON BABY, LIGHT MY TITS!!
Harry Carey?….Joe Garagiola?…Tim McCarver?….personalities make baseball….Yogi Berra?…

That’s how we talk in Baseball, on or off the Field if it’s with a Baseball Buddy it’s part of life… Sort of like a Club for Real Men.

Tits lit? Oh geezus is that funny. Hernandez was quite the stick in his day, as good as anyone for many years.
Back in the 70s in Wis., “Tits” meant you liked something.
Like my ride’s new paint job? “Yeah, man. It’s just tits!”
Maybe all you got was a thumbs up and the word: “Tits!”
Even the women used it. Being from Texas, I was quite amused at this colloquialism.
But, hell. It made sense! Who doesn’t like tits?
I want to see the rest of the play by play of the just for men commercial in the bedroom.
Corona– Earl is the tits.
Dadof4 that’s also out here in AZ. Generally referred to in the Carpentry trade as exceptionally good work
wasn’t Hernandez involved in ‘The Magic Loogie’?
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ, that was a good episode.

Berry Berry Good
met Hernandez once back in 1982. Great guy. Sumbitch had forearms thicker than my quadraceps.
