Joe Girardi has told intermediaries he would be willing to listen if the Mets job opens, according to an industry source, and Buck Showalter — another accomplished manager with a New York pedigree — is somebody general manager Brodie Van Wagenen likes and considers capable of making a splash, according to another source. But the Mets in recent managerial changes have also largely avoided giving serious consideration to big names.

There are 11 managers in all history with 2000+ wins.  Four of the 11 (36%) are/were active in the 2010s.  If anything it seems like 2000-win managers have become more likely recently.   Also, Te

For anyone complaining about Elias just realize it could be worse. 

Overall I'm happy with Elias.  It's just some stuff on the edges that irk me.  That would be true of anyone that didn't do things exactly as I wanted.  ?

Most of my questions deal with ownership.

Basically the same with me. I’m certain there are some moves Elias has wanted to make but couldn’t.

I can think of only one... Mike seems to have had carte blanche with how he wanted to spend it. POURING money into computers and gadgets and what not. Facilities and academies. Only CD is out of his hands. imho

Davis and I left my self some wiggle room in case there was one other major $$$ move that ownership didn't approve. :)

      Suarez?  I would have been guessing between Kremer and Grayson if I didn't know the result was incredible. 🙂

      Data point:  Sunset Wednesday in Baltimore is 6:46 PM, about 2 hours and 10 minutes after the scheduled start of the Orioles game.

      Thanks, I figured the easiest way to address the question was just to see if he has done it in the past, and it looks as if he had. I'd be shocked if it would be an issue now when it wasn't last season.

      It's a 48 hour event spanning three days from sunset to sunset two days later. The two evenings, particularly the first one, are typically the most significant. Since last Sep 17th was the third day, it's possible he was more willing to pitch that day than on one of the prior two evenings. It's also possible Dean just changed his perspective and pitching on the holiday is not an issue for him.  In any event, if pitching on the holiday is an issue, it might be relevant for both Wednesday and Thursday, since the holiday begins at sundown Wednesday.

      Who sits for Slater in Game One?

      If you’d rather have Trumbo under any circumstances, well then. God only knows how many extra runs scored because he let a ball fall in front of him, but it was a lot. An out at the plate is only an out, and it may or may not come with RISP, but a missed catch in the OF gives the offense another chance, extends the inning, puts more pressure on the pitcher.  Mullins saved a lot of runs with his defense and speed even when he wasn’t hitting. im not talking about errors, nor am I talking about routine fly balls, but about the extra inches a good defender gets that make the difference between a catch and a non- catch, and that’s important. And no one knows before the game what will be required of the defender. nine guys come to the plate, and if one of them is in the lineup not for his offense, but for what he offers with the glove, that’s fine. The other eight should cover for him. Thats why Kevin Pillar had a successful career.

      Not sure why you bothered to quote me. I was helping another poster figure out how not important a left fielder is when it comes to defense in the modern game. You don't start a left fielder for defense.
