Maybe what the Mets need is a hands-off manager. Just let the players play and in the end somehow someway it will all work out. Senior management will be confused as to HOW it all works out, but in the end it will.
Along the way there may be a few LOLMets incidents that will need o be cleaned up, but that’s going to happen any way. Upstairs can just tell Michael who they want in the lineup and then he can just play on his phone while the players do their thing.
Michael will be happy to give long press conferences and answer all the “How did it feel when” questions Gelbs might have.
In the end, the Mets will be champions despite Michael Scott being the manager. The Mets have been trying too hard. What they need to do is NOT try, just let the game come to them.
Unfortunately, Michael is happy living in Colorado and doesn’t seem the big city type so I don’t think he will take the job.
Will Michael Scott manage the Mets? No.
