Maybe Mendoza is just a bad manager (split from "5/14/24 - The 'Why is this a Day Game?' IGT")

Maybe Mendoza is just a bad manager.



Maybe they need to stop hiring guys off the street with no managerial experience.



The last time they hired a guy with actual experience, he led them to a 101-win season. And the last time before that, he led them to the World Series in 2015.

Mendoza may be a bad manager, but he isn't off the street, and he has managerial experience.

[Cowtipper]

This is Mendoza's first year managing in the majors.

Mendoza got a team with a pretend pitching staff, minus their top starter, and are "in transition" on offense. That they're around .500 is about what we all would have expected.

[Cowtipper]

It seemed that, as we are talking about the major leagues, the assumption of 'major league experience' was built into the statement. But as I've had to spell things out for the less-than-critical thinkers in the past, I'll spell it out here, as well.



He managed in the low minors over a decade ago.



No comparison.

[Centerfield]

Yeah, I don't know that I like Mendoza, but he's far down the list of what's fucked up right now.



Honestly, I'm surprised we haven't been no-hit yet.

[metsmarathon]

boy, y'know, you never know how good you are at filling out a lineup card until you have to do it in the big leagues.



talking like dude just fell offa turnip truck and landed the manager's job. for fuck's sake.

[Cowtipper]

The statements are not incorrect.



Apples -- > apples.



Minor league experience != major league experience.



For those who need things spelled out, apples --> apples implies we should compare like things, not those that are vastly dissimilar. I apologize if my building that assumption into the aforementioned is too hard to grapple with.

In other news, the Mets are still being one-hit.



Thanks a lot MENDOZA!



Clearly he lacks the intangibles that a veteran major league manager has, and he doesn't have the ability to inspire a winning spirit.

[Edgy MD]

You're as factually wrong as you are in the other thread. But when confronted with facts, you declare yourself to be bored.



Also, Mendoza had managed in at least 25 MLB games following ejections and/or suspensions of Aaron Boone.



You are factually wrong. And I wish you would stop. Facts are really easy to find.

[Cowtipper]

It does get boring going in circles, that is true.

[Edgy MD]

Then please stop making false statements.



It's so easy.

[Cowtipper]

We're going in circles.



Which is boring.

Maybe the Mets should hire a manager from Japan. Inspire that Bushido warrior spirit.



We don't need no wishy-washy nobody like Mendoza.



How about we Men-'Don't"-za?



Now that's a quality Mendoza line.

[ashie62]

Lugubrious?
