New York Mets play-by-play announcer Gary Cohen took a shot at the Houston Astros' sign-stealing scandal during a broadcast of an MLB The Show 20 video game matchup between the teams Tuesday night.

"You can hear very little from the crowd tonight," Cohen said on the SNY telecast. "It almost feels like you're playing in a library, which would mean that any sound that might be emanating from the dugout, say the sound of a trash can being banged, would be quite formidable."

Here's a look at the full clip:

MLB announced in January the Astros were fined $5 million, the maximum allowed in the league's constitution, and would forfeit its first- and second-round picks in the 2020 and 2021 MLB drafts.
