Morning.

I think Buck Showalter is a great manager. But I think we are seeing what happens when a great baseball mind is being controlled by a GM and FO that thinks analytics means more than baseball IQ.
Mets are at a crossroads. Media is following the fans in coming for Buck. Even Gary Cohen is channeling Gary Thorne (when he went after Bobby V on air) and openly questioning the skipper.
Maybe Buck has lost the fans and the media, because they smell blood in the water.
But if I were Buck, I would march upstairs and sat, “If you’re going to fire me at the end of the season anyway, I’m going to manage this club my way, or you can just fire me right now.”

June 27, 1993: Anthony Young sets an MLB record when he drops his 24th straight decision, a 5-3 loss to Cardinals
at Shea Stadium. Young eventually extends the streak to 27 consecutive defeats before winning a game.

Fanas, Baez, and Juan are hitting their way out of their collective funk.
Anyone who calls Buck a great manager loses credibility in my book.
Everybody has an opinion Rsy
Sort of like a..
Well,.you know where I'm headinh
Watch on prime
JURY DUTY
Most managers are eventually fired. WIth Showalter, eventually they will pass the Buck.
No
He will someday announce his retirement
When you stand at the crossroads, you may start sinking down….
