I am so happy the Mets hired Buck Showalter instead of making the same mistake for the third straight time.
I keep coming back to the alternate horrible future we could have had. Imagine the Mets being run by a coach from Tampa. Tampa, where the baseball antichrists normalize words like opener and “bulk pitcher.”
Imagine overthinking baseball and starting some middle reliever and then bringing in Scherzer for the second inning.
I’m pleased that we have an old style manager who can hand in an old style lineup card and just sit back until he 6th inning or so and then start paying attention. This is a veteran team. Just manage the end of the game and field some questions from Gelbs and this thing should run itself.
Star players actually playing is good for the Mets, good for the league, good for fans, good for the sport and good for TV.
Steve has built a product around stars Let the players play!
