Holy Shit, Edwin Diaz's Entrance Music Is A Motherfucking BANGER
I saw this tweet come across the timeline the other day and thought "Hmmm, that's interesting. I bet Diaz's music is pretty decent". Then I did a quick search on YouTube and my head almost exploded.
OH MY GOD. I've never heard this 3 year old song or the wonderful names of Blasterjaxx and Timmy Trumpet before this week. But this is why we need need neeeeeeed the Mets to fix Edwin Diaz once Uncle Stevie comes to town. Not just because we traded two prospects and took on Robinson Cano's massive contract for a shutdown closer that has been anything but a shutdown closer. Yes he keeps games the Mets are behind in close and has looked better this year while putting up a 1.89 ERA. But he has not been a shutdown closer we have needed for decades worthy of a song like that. I honestly can't even comprehend how you could ever do anything but strike out the side if you ride into a game with that song.
Can you imagine Citi Field and all the maniacs in Cohen's Corner jamming out to this as a pitcher that is as shutdown as 2018 Edwin Diaz comes in to close out another W during the Age of Cohen? Not since Sandstorm was breaking the Noise Meter at Shea Stadium back in the day has a song been so perfectly suited for crazed lunatic Mets fans. Even fresh face, extremely handsome, and fellow Mets fan Rico Bosco would admit that tens of thousands of juiced up Mets fans fist bumping in unison as those trumpets signaled yet another Mets victory would even make the D'Jais dancefloor at midnight look like a McDonald's children's playground compared to the mayhem in Flushing if things start rolling like they should.
I don't care if Steve Cohen needs to acquire the pitching coach, the Mariners, or the entire city of Seattle to recapture the juju that 2018 Edwin Diaz had. But once Citi Field is filled with fans gassed up about having the richest owner in baseball and a genuinely fun team, the last piece will be a lights out closer with a straight up electric entrance song.
P.S. This music video being about a hero constantly being chased away by his enemies then ending with the hero getting his motherfucking head chopped off by the big bad villain is actually completely on brand with Mets Edwin Diaz.
