I thought his tantrum might have actually gotten him some respect but it looks like it’s made things worse. Between what looked like a forced apology and everyone from Terry Collins chiming in to criticize. Yes as a manager his decision making is all fair game for criticism. However I’ve always looked at him as a decent guy who earned the right to have one tantrum like that and get the benefit of the doubt. I say just do him a favor at this point fire him while preserving his dignity. Put him out of his misery. I feel bad for him, too. Any manager who can't control in-game moves can't be happy. But he's putting up with it. This is all about the Wilpons. Until the team is sold, this is just how it's going to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Wilpons are also part of it, this team is effed. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/27048818/mets-front-office-making-game-moves This news registers zero on the surprise meter.

I've seen Noah stick up for him twice this year, DeGrom was pretty much a good soldier after the D'backs incident and now Vargas goes after the reporter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who put us in the position to have to start a tosser like Lockett??I Instead of getting a steady 6th...that young goofball zeroed in on Lowrie because he though McNeil wasn't big club ready.

Another Fan Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 When you honestly thought the Cano trade couldn’t look worse I just saw this about Anthony Swarzak https://www.ajc.com/blog/mark-bradley/the-braves-midyear-mvp-anthony-swarzak/hMKFv2usAizcOGieTOCz4J/ He has a 0.58 ERA in his last 15 innings with the Braves. Would be the #1 guy in the bullpen pitching like he is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinceThe70s Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 A friend recently asked whether this was the worst bullpen stretch the Mets ever had. I pointed to the August/September 2007 collapse as being worse. I'm ready to reconsider that opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
