Terry’s appearance at the press conference was short. He speaks quickly. He seems focused.
Media Goon picked up on this: “Terry Collins on Anaheim- I am held accountable for what happened in the clubhouse. I should have head it off but I didn’t.”
OK, asked and answered. Move on.
I don’t feel like I know too much about the guy but my first impression is that the days of a clownfest in the clubhouse are now over. To parrot a well-used line, it does seem that the adults are in charge.
More in the post below this one (ooh pinstripes)…and make sure you read the Mets Blog article I linked to in the post below that one.
Larry Bowa as the bench coach will only add to the fun
Interesting take via MetsBlog re: Alderson’s surprise about NY media coverage. Beat writers will run over each other to get a scoop here. The only lapdog “media” for the team constitutes SNY, MetsBlog, the MLB.com folks sans Marty Noble, and a couple guys at The Daily News due to the SNY marketing agreement. Everyone else will kill for an exclusive.
If he is surprised at this point about the NY media…that is already a bad sign.
Jerry was a smart man, who spoke in a cadence which assured that he held the attention of the room.
Terry speaks fast, but it sounds like he’s a man of intense purpose. He seems like a good guy, and he’s going to hold himself, and his players accountable.
