The Mets, picked by some to win the NL East, are in a deep slide. But it's not the manager's fault.
who combined to allow the Braves 10 runs in 8.2 innings in that embarrassing sweep. Those two were supposed to be the rotation’s pillars, but instead have looked old and fragile. Cohen and Eppler may have guessed wrong on both pitchers, but those decisions weren’t Showalter’s.slip away to the Blue Jays.
Tickets buyers who think the Mets would be better off with a new manager need to answer the second part of that equation: who’s your candidate to replace Showalter on an interim basis? Showalter deserves better than that. He is, after all, a four-time Manager of the Year, having won the award in both leagues. He’s still the smartest, most intuitive manager I’ve covered. Or if you need a time-warp comparison, Buck beats Torborg in every aspect of the job.Fortunately, Cohen understands all of this. He hasn’t pulled a Steinbrenner and ordered the Mets to sweep the Yankees in the coming Subway Series – or else.
Cohen’s logic almost certainly means Buck will finish out the season and I’m betting that means 2024, too. As indifferent as Cohen is to the other owners’ scorn – and they do hate guy for destroying MLB’s economy – Flushing’s No. 1 baron wants to be liked by the fans. Cohen considers himself one of the crowd. That was never Steinbrenner’s way.
