Ouch.

As if Mets fans weren’t hurt enough from the outcome of Saturday afternoon’s game against the Cincinnati Reds, the hits kept on coming post game as well. And not from the team the Mets were playing against.

It came from the Atlanta Braves, who already clinched the NL East and who the Mets are facing in their last series of the regular season. In fact, it came from one specific player on the Atlanta Braves, who is quite the familiar face to the Mets — Adeiny Hechavarria.

The Braves beat the San Francisco Giants Saturday night, 8-1. Hechavarria greatly contributed early with a double down the line in the second inning that scored Billy Hamilton and Ronald Acuña Jr. In his last seven games, he is batting .385/.467/.692.

You could say that Hechavarria is grateful for what he has contributed with the Braves so far. Actually, that is exactly what he said through a translator after the game.

“I just want to thank god for the opportunity, removing me from the Mets and putting me on this team,” Hechavarria said. “I felt at home instantly when I got here.”

Watch for yourself, as Fox Sports: Braves posted it to Twitter:

Eek. Now it’s not surprising that Hechavarria would have a bad taste in his mouth from the Mets. The Mets designated Hechavarria for assignment, back on August 9, which was one day before he was due to receive a $1 million roster bonus. It was a total salary dump, and Hechavarria knew it. He was then placed on release waivers and signed by the Braves a couple of days later.

I’ve seen a couple of people on Twitter talking about this and having a back and forth regarding whether the translator should have translated this directly, while live on television. I’ll leave that for you to decide.
