Not as his first gig. I don't want anymore new managers. Backman rubs me the wrong way, anyway. There's a reason he's never been promoted. 1

Padres rookie pitcher has been dominant so far. Came in with a 1.91 ERA. Struck out 11 last night. But after McNeil. Alonso and maybe Conforto there hasn't been enough production. Cano really needs to get out of his funk.

Take McNeil, Alonso and Conforto out of the mix and we're pathetic. 2

The D'Backs kind of screwed him there. They didn't hire him because they thought he was a wife beater which wasn't the case. 13 hours ago, Gugny said: Not as his first gig.

Honestly I'd just like to see us have a manager with some personality for a change. I mean since Bobby V I can't remember a fiery type manager here. The closest thing was Jerry Manuel and his colorful press conferences. Edited May 7, 2019 by Another Fan 1

The Diamondbacks said it was because he didn't disclose his two arrests when they point-blank asked him in the final interview if there's anything in his past they needed to know about. Why they didn't do a background check before hiring him, I do not know... 1
SinceThe70s Posted May 8, 2019 Posted May 8, 2019 Looks like Lowrie may return as early as Friday. According to the article below he'll get playing time at 3B over Frazier, J.D. Davis and Broxton are 'candidates to depart'. It would be a bold move by VW to cut ties with Frazier, but my guess is they'll kick that can down the road and option Davis instead. https://nypost.com/2019/05/08/jed-lowries-return-to-the-mets-lineup-is-imminent/ 1 1

Broxton should be in Syracuse because McNiel is now turning into a full blown outfielder. I'm done with Frazier "talk"...he's gone. When I see the post game interviews..I see a happy faces on guys like Alonso's..Todd's is a bitter freeze... smirk. I 'm not so sure if a team wants to deal with us for a deal involving both Smith and Frazier..Frazier being the garbage in the deal.
Another Fan Posted May 10, 2019 Author Posted May 10, 2019 Supposedly a powwow with Wilpon, Mickey, and VW as described below https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2019/05/10/mets-crisis-meeting-wilpon-summons-callaway-van-wagenen-for-powwow/amp/ Hell I don’t even know if the article is just BS. Time will still tell
SinceThe70s Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 8 batters in, 7-0 and the only out was McNeil getting thrown out at third. Wish I had actually seen it - my boys were playing video games. 1

Best home first inning in 40 years. Wheeler strikes out 11 but gives up 9 hits. Not sure what to make of that, maybe just a sign of the times. The positive for me is he went 7 and the pitch count was probably around 110. He used to routinely get to that number in 5 innings or less. 1
