Maybe what the Mets need is someone to distract the fans.
Hans Gruber is ruthless. He won’t be afraid to bench players who aren’t doing well. When a player comes to his office to complain Hans will tell them, “”You Can Walk Out Of Here Or Be Carried Out.”
Hans will have no time for Gelbs.
Hans will keep the fans confused with weird platoons, odd pitching changes, and the new team chant of Yippie Kay Yay LFGMFers which Pete Alonso and the Black Uniform people will love. You will all eat it up and buy merchandise and renew your tickets.
In the end, the Mets will go 72 and 90 and by the time the fans realize it, Hans will have said to Steve, “”by the time they figure out what went wrong, we’ll be sitting on a beach, earning twenty percent.”
I wouldn’t rule this one out….other than the Mets’ general stupidity.
Will Hans Gruber manage the Mets? No.
