Mets' SNY broadcast feed cuts out before Francisco Lindor's game-saving catch

The Mets' walk-off 3-2, 10-inning victory over the Brewers on Tuesday night was pretty suspenseful. Fans watching on SNY got a little unwanted extra suspense.

The game was tied at 2 in the top of the ninth with two outs and the bases loaded when Milwaukee's David Hamilton sent a screaming line drive that seemed ticketed for leftfield and a go-ahead two-run single.

Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor made an all-out dive for the ball. He was either going to catch it in one of the defensive plays of the year or it was going to fly just past him.

At that moment, the SNY feed cut out.

Viewers were unaware that Lindor had made the incredible catch until the feed came back on and it was clear the game was still tied at 2 in the bottom of the ninth.

"What a play," Keith Hernandez said.

It would have been nice if fans had been able to see it live.

An SNY spokesperson said on Wednesday morning that a technical issue with the network's telecom fiber carrier led to the issue.

Upon returning, SNY showed ample replays of the catch and Lindor's pumped-up reaction. The live call from Hernandez and Gary Cohen was available later on the SNY and Mets social media feeds.

"And it's slapped toward the middle... CAUGHT BY LINDOR! SIDE RETIRED, OH WOW!"

Many viewers on social media called it SNY's "Sopranos moment," in a nod to the HBO series' final episode in 2007, in which the screen purposefully cut to black for about 10 seconds before the final credits. In that case, viewers also thought their TVs were broken. But it was a conscious choice by the director and led to decades of debate as to whether it was brilliant or just plain bad.
