Terry Collins Hot Seat 2017

[ashie62]

Yeah, its' time for the thread.

[metirish]

"it's still April" ...tired of hearing that too. I would love to be in Alderon's office right now, assuming he is in there too

[ashie62]

Who pushed Thor back? Inexcusable unless there is something we don't know.

[Frayed Knot]

Syndergaard wasn't pushed back, he just wasn't pushed up the way they announced initially. It was always Gsellman's turn in the rotation.
Put another way, Gsellman was either going to go tonight or sometime this weekend vs the Nationals. Take your pick.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Terry and those three errors tonight, inexcusable.

[MFS62]

The villagers have their pitchforks and torches ready.
I guess this thread is only concerned with the torches.

Later

[ashie62]

Add Alderson.

[Edgy MD]

Ashie is burning down the whole mission.

In the case of both Cespedes and Syndegaard, you have to trust your doctors, and if that is all Alderson or Collins is guilty of, then you can't blame the situation on them. But if somebody rushed them back against the recommendation of the Mets' doctors, that would be a very different story.

Good point, I am unconsolable for now.

[ashie62]

We may be Las Vegas by year end.

[Guest cooby]

I hope it warms up if we become LV

[ashie62]

Bunting six runs down?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

He's nothing if not consistent.

[MFS62]

(Channeling Bob Klapish here)
While we've been talking about his tactics for a long time, its been kind of a relief that (I'm paraphrasing and summarizing here) "he does a good job managing the clubhouse".
Now, with news that Harvey has been pushing the envelope of team rules for a while, are we sure Terry's been doing a good job in the clubhouse all this time? What have we not heard about?

Terry can take a different flight home. Just sayin.

Start the rebuild.

[Benjamin Grimm]

The Mets do have a history of firing two-time postseason managers shortly after they've managed their 1,000th game.

[Lefty Specialist]

[ashie62]

A bullpen bump.

[ashie62]

That seat for Terry may be getting warmer.

[ashie62]

Jeff Wilpon can't take to many more days like today.

Off to Texas. ouch.

Road trips seem like a nice time to can managers.

[ashie62]

I guess I am alone.

[Guest 41Forever]

There are a number of people I'd fire before I got to Terry.

[Ceetar]

Terry's not the one failing to pitch and I think it'd be foolish not to conduct the search for his replacement with the full due-diligence you can only give it during the offseason. That's how you end up with "managers" like Jerry Manuel

[Guest d'Kong76]

Terry wasn't 3-26 with RISP (or whatever the terrible # was) this weekend either.

[ashie62]

Terry and Sandy can leave together.

[metirish]

Interestingly not seeing a huge clamor for Wally on Twatter , saw something floating around on Hojo "is the answer".

Firing Terry wouldn't do anything, 12 games back etc

[Edgy MD]

The genesis of the "HoJo is the answer" movement was a social media video advocating for such put up by a possibly drunk but certainly addled Lenny Dykstra. It's a miserable thing to watch. If it's beyond your capacity to feel pity for Dykstra at this point, you'll feel something in your stomach, possibly pity for humankind.
