This. The decision not to pinch run Ramos and his bullpen management. During 11-1 last year, we all commented how he was burning Lugo and Gsellman. This year, it doesn't seem like he's learned a heck of a lot. I mean, 7 run lead. Come on Mickey.

What does Mickey think happens more frequently:
Holding your best pitcher for a save in a tie game in the ninth inning or later is screaming madness. Any potential manager I interview in any potential alternate reality where I'm a guy who gets interview potential managers, this is the first issue I ask him about.

A few years back, someone started a thread where games were tracked by "should've won and did", "should've lost and did', "should've lost, but won", "should've won, but lost". Something like that. I don't think any of these were wins that should've been losses or vice versa, but we were tip-toeing those lines a little already.

And the guy has four hits the day before. This is something Mickey did last year that drove me nuts. He would rest a "hot" player and not let the player to go on a kind of streak that might carry a club for a while. I had hoped having an experienced manager as "bench" coach would help. But in this case, I wonder if he said anything. Later

Yep, agreed. Why is Lugo going 40 pitches, to get some stupid 4 out save? Dumb.

good points. This is especially true of bullpen usage. You have so many guys. The Mets used 25 last year. You gotta get a feel for what they can do, where they can do it. what conditions, particularly non-stat ones, that they thrive under. I don't think anything he did was 'crazy shit' either. I'm anti-bunt all around. I might've considered it with Nimmo where the rough math suggests it's probably beneficial. I wouldn't have bunted with Lagares at all, especially in a game he homered in. Especially as he's a faster guy. I always figure you need another hit anyway, I'd rather try to get those hits early and try to score the run with the out than try to advance the runners with the out and try to score with a hit.

What drives me crazy is that the guy hitting .350 sees a strange infield alignment, then places a bunt that makes them pay for it. For good measure, he bunts it foul first, telegraphing his intent to bunt against the shift, then does it again making them look even more foolish. And then the rest of the lineup (who are not hitting .350) looks at that and says "Oh that was cool". And goes back to whacking away into the shift.

Know what other Mets box you check? The willing to work for no money box. The miser Mets made Mickey the 26th ranked manager by salary. All the headaches of managing in America's biggest market but without any of the benefits Mickey should rightfully expect. The Mets haven't hired a good manager in more than 20 years. Don't expect another one anytime soon. Two first place finishes and one good manager since eff Wilpon took over almost 30 years qgo.

I liked Collins, too. But he was at the end of his rope when the Mets hired him, with nowhere else to go. The one characteristic any potential manager needs to succeed with this franchise is the ability to get right in Jeff Wilpon's face and tell him to go fuck himself whenever needed. But that's the one characteristic that Jeff is screening out for, more than any other. Talk about a Catch-22.

Howe was disappeared with half his contract remaining (2 years of 4). Mickey, if canned today, would be about the same although only 1.5 of 3 which may or may not fit one's definition of "multiple". Going back to the '90s, none of Green, Torborg, Harrelson, Valentine were kept on to finish their deals, nor was 'Middle of the Night' Willie. I don't remember at this point what percentage of their deals remained when those mid-year changes were made, nor do I recall whether Jerry Manual was let go with terms still remaining or was simply not re-hired. All of which leaves the list of 'recent' NYM managers who finished out their terms of employment as ... Terry Collins, and does someone really want to make the case that, coming off consecutive post-season seasons of 90 & 87 wins, that a mid-season change in 2017 was going to salvage what became a 92-loss season but simply wasn't made in order to save a couple hundred K by an ownership group that had no problem doing just that more often than not? My larger point here being that we sometimes get so caught up in Wilpon-bashing that we find ourselves willing to ignore reality and repeat 'facts' which actually aren't facts at all because it fits a certain narrative and makes us feel better by saying it. We went through this late last summer when Alonso discussions started to surface and several of us just knew that he wouldn't be brought up until, well probably just in the last few weeks, "because that's what the Mets always do". The only problem with that argument is that, starting I think with Reyes now 16 years ago and moving forward from there, we couldn't find a single one of their prospects where that was actually the case. Also, like JCL says, most managers, especially first-timers like Mickey, are among the smaller expenses a club has these days and therefore one of the last places you'd want to look for evidence of them 'cheaping out'. Cot's Contracts lists Mickey's 2018 salary as 850K. Assuming a deal which called for modest raises over this year and next, getting rid of him today would be less than the price of three minimum wage players. It just doesn't add up. They may or may not get rid of MC now or in the near future, but I'd be surprised if his salary is even A factor in the decision and certainly not THE factor, particularly not after they went out this winter and hired a seasoned former manager and installed him as the bench coach, a potential transition which would be more seamless than most if a mid-stream change were to be made.

Ken Rosenthal put some pressue on Brodie in The Athletic yesterday: [BLOCKQUOTE]Unless first-year general manager Brodie Van Wagenen sees Callaway as a manager full of untapped potential – doubtful – he either believes an interim choice such as bench coach Jim Riggleman would have made little difference, or that the hiring of a veteran such as Joe Girardi without staging an industry-wide search would have been too impulsive. Unless BVW loves Girardi he's going to want to search "high and low" for a new manager (that he can manipulate) so perhaps Riggleman (or Terry, as discussed elsewhere) gets the job but I think that it happens on Wednesday or Thursday ("lets see, maybe they'll sweep the Phillies and it's Seinfeld night, then Alonso is in the HR Derby, and Manfred doesn't want a distraction for the Game, so we'll tell Martino on Wednesday and have a press conference on Thursday").

Crazy, but inevitable. Any manager with the character to stand up to these incompetent tyrants that own the team and stick their beaks in everything wouldn't get hired in the first place. It's all self fulfilling. The problem is systemic and deeply rooted. Its not Callaway. He'll be replaced by somebody just like him Two first place finishes in 31 seasons.

If Mickelmas' regularly occurring flip-flops on the stuff like closer usage are based on policies forced on him, he's gonna have a helluva lot to sing about once he's sprung.

He will. But he won't. Because he wants to continue to work in the game. So he'll keep his mouth shut and be a good soldier just like everybody else lest he ends up on the blacklist. Most everyone keeps their mouths shut. But the insiders all know what goes on.

Owners won't hire anyone who badmouthed prior management. The owners still run the game like it's a very exclusive and privileged country club. Which it is.
