What possible issue could arise from that and especially after forcing teams to wear those God awful uniforms a few weeks ago it just doesn't make any sense at all and a VERY bad impression of MLB as a whole.Gary Seagrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15491886182129554421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-36616922634303887152019-09-12T08:55:34.946-04:002019-09-12T08:55:34.946-04:00A lot of good points here, John. I don't know ...A lot of good points here, John. I don't know about the "word on the street", because there are so many, in all directions, but overall I think Mickey is doing a better job than given credit for.<br /><br />He's farfrom perfect, but he's new to the job and learning as he goes. I find it interesting that fans see a young player who is struggling and say "put him in the lineup every day and he'll be fine", but the same fans won't give a young mgr the same long leash.<br /><br />Joe Torre was an awful mgr here, though he was given some leeway by the fans because of his popularity as a player. Yet his record with the Yankees turned him into a God. Did he suddenly get smart, or did he learn to better handle situations. <br /><br />Gil Hodges is (deservedly) beloved by Mets fans, but had horrible w/l records with the Senators, and in his 1st year and a half here. <br /><br />I don't judge mgrs by w/l records, or feel that they are even close to the importance of the talent. Was Casey the greatest, smartest mgr of all time, because of his 5 straight WS's in the Bronx, or was he the worst, dumbest ever because of the Mets years?<br /><br />The team plays hard for Mickey, and he never let them quit, despite the record in the 1st half of this year. He has them motivated, and IMO has at least earned the right to finish his contract, which has one year left. Again, he's not perfect, but he's learning and has the team motivated. And that's important. bill metsiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07927989716664234035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-57122723006056570172019-09-12T08:40:02.452-04:002019-09-12T08:40:02.452-04:00Any manager can make mistakes. Some of Mickey'...Any manager can make mistakes. Some of Mickey's decisions have been bewildering. But somehow, the Mets are 2 games out with 17 to play and a favorable schedule (11 home games, 6 road games, only 2 tough series coming up) and a hot hitting squad.<br /><br />And Stroman is due for a win, isn't he?<br /><br />Let's go Mets. May Mickey not make another mistake and lead them to the Wild Card and then deeper into the post season.<br /><br />Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.com
