They hosts on WFAN were saying that Judge said the manager had just been thrown out and the guys in the dugout were "chirping". He said he glanced toward he dugout to see who was doing it because it was annoying him during the at bat. Looking at the angle of his head and eyes, I find that plausible. Later

Sadly I think that line of thinking is informing Met fans into over-inflating the HOF cases of the deserved Keith Hernandez and the less than deserving, but he better not get the Alfonso treatment, David Wright. Also “leadership qualities†was part of the “package†for decades with fans of his when campaigning for Gil Hodges. Even if his managerial career would just be a sentence on his eventual plaque honoring his performance as a slugging 1Bman.

I'm not sure how much captaining should matter, but probably a little in some cases and not at all in others. In the very early years of the Hall, when the standards were necessarily very high, the support for Frank Chance was stronger than for a lot of players who had clearly better statistical cases. It's true that home fans will often see better than others whether a guy is captain in name only or is really leading is team in a substantive way. It's also true that when something can't be measured, fans will often see what they want to see.

I can't believe you don't remember. This fiasco is permanently embedded in my brain. And it's not Franco, who, if I recall, wasn't a co-captain.

Davey Johnson initially named Keith Hernandez as the sole Mets captain. Johnson was an intelligent baseball lifer who knew his team, knew the locker room, and even knew many of his Mets from their minor league days. Johnson read the room and correctly determined that Keith would make the best team captain, based on his playing skills, his leadership and the total respect Keith received from his teammates. This decision didn't sit well with Carter, who literally cried and whined and pleaded and begged and then cried some more, until he finally wore Johnson down into making Carter a co-captain. What a manipulative creep. And this right after publicly whining to the press all off-season long about how he was supposedly gypped out of the league MVP award -- the 4th or 5th best player on his own team.

Indeed he is, and he was batting third against the Mets in that series at YSIII. I'd've felt a lot better about that if the Mets hadn't lost the second game.

He shouldn't have been sent. He's not running well (though I had no idea he was THAT lame) and it was clear from
He's actually been hitting well lately. But his problem, the same one he's had his whole career, it that those hot streaks never last very long even though still only 33 y/o. He can carry a team for a few weeks, but not for months. But, hey, the Yanx are only on the hook for four more seasons!
