The Rojas Watch Watch watches to see what others are saying about a possible Rojas Watch. We are not there yet, but we are definitely a Rojas Watch Watch.
Now as much as I’d like to see Uncle Steve (what a nickname) go full Steinbrenner, let me ask you – does it even matter?
I guess maybe perhaps if you wanna say you have JDG and some version of Thor and Lindor and Baez and you actually think Pete doesn’t suck at baseball and has a lot of stat padding ABs that don’t help the team win games and he doesn’t have empty ABs say in the 9th inning when you need him….if you wanna say all that gives the Mets a chance, I guess it’s not that late….but it is pretty late….and making up 7 games in 6 weeks and jumping two teams is not easy.
BUT if you believe all that – then let’s get a new manager in here, just so we can all collectively believe (including the players) that the new manager has somehow rallied the team and created a magical run.
Luis Rojas missed an 8 team playoff and should not have been invited back. I have said this all year, and I still say it.
So Steve, stop wasting time. Call Bobby V or Buck or let Jauss do it (maybe he can motivate Pete) or dust of Terry or throw a million at Keith or Ron or see where Tim Teufel is, or go FULL Steinbrenner and play the Wally card to tick off Sandy.
But do SOMETHING Steve. This is a failure. You hired Sandy who hired the second choice GM. You have the second choice manager.
Hell, call Beltran at this point. SOMETHING.
(Taijuan Walker) who sounded like an incredulous Mets fan before he exited the mound, now acted like an incredulous Mets fan with his two-hit night in ruins. People in the crowd started chanting, “Fire Rojas,” and a butt-ugly free-fall (even by Mets standards) got a bit uglier.
“They can say whatever,” Rojas said. “We have a very passionate fan base.” (via NY Post)
