NEW YORK —
The silence on the broadcast was deafening.
In a campaign already full of frustration and inconsistency, Kiké Hernández suffered another exasperating low Friday night.
During a choppy in-game interview between Hernández and the Apple TV broadcast duo of Wayne Randazzo and Dontrelle Willis on Friday — a second-inning chat in which the mic’d up Hernández struggled to hear the broadcasters through an on-field earpiece — a ball was hit to the third baseman right as Willis asked him a question.
“You guys are a close-knit ball club,” Willis said, just as Gleyber Torres sent a two-hopper Hernández’s way.
