Good morning!
After a very good win against the Phillies last night, you probably thought for once, just once, all is well in Mets land, right?
You’d be wrong (of course), because as Shannon talked about earlier, Brodie called the coaches in after Friday’s loss, and decided to throw chairs across the room to get his point home.
NY Post: Brodie Van Wagenen throws chair in heated meeting with Mets coaches
An irate Van Wagenen assembled manager Mickey Callaway and the coaching staff in the coaches’ room immediately after the game, according to a source, and lashed out at the individuals present — bemoaning the fact Jacob deGrom’s strong performance had been wasted. Accompanying Van Wagenen at the meeting was assistant GM Allard Baird.
After ripping the coaches, according to a source, the usually mild-mannered Van Wagenen picked up a chair and threw it and told Callaway to go conduct his “f—king press conference.” Callaway provided no hint that anything was amiss as he met with reporters following the loss.
So I’m calling it. We’ve watched the watch, elevated it once before this season, and now it’s time for me to make the unilateral decision to upgrade this to an official Mickey Watch, at least until I wake up for real in the morning, and realize that I posted something this severe at 4 am on a Sunday.
With that being said: Wouldn’t it make for incredible drama if they cut ties with Mickey after the game this afternoon, before the All-Star Break?
Ok, back to bed.
