Buck Showalter back to the Show?

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.

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. :)

    • The Braves currently hold the tie break leading the season series 6-5. Bottom line, regardless of what happens tomorrow, the Mets have to win both games of the Mon. Double header vs. the Braves to get in.  
    • Detroit is one of those teams that got hot at the right time. I think they have won 6 in a row and were 9-1 in their last 10. I checked yesterday I think, but getting hot at the right time is huge for the Tigers. I think Texas last season got hot at the right time and they were like a freaking buzz saw.    I picked Baltimore to be a wild card before the season started, but had them going farther in the playoffs. I hope these guys can get it done. 🕊️
    • With either team as the opponent, the key is going to be us.  At full strength, our lineup is just flat out better than either KC’s or DET’s. Not by a little. By a lot. Witt is unreal, and Perez, Greene, and Carpenter are all really good. But behind those guys, it’s a bunch of mostly light hitters that have had their hot streaks (with DET’s being mostly ongoing) that don’t really compare to the depth in our lineup. If our pitching mostly holds up, we’ll win as long as our hitters do what they can do. Both of those are giant question marks, obviously, and the season will hang on the answer our guys provide. But you really can’t ask for much more than an opportunity to go into a series saying we think we’re better on paper than them and we just need to perform — that certainly didn’t feel like the case last year, with the way the Rangers hit up and down the lineup all season.
    • It looks to me like KC is happy to rest and get ready for the Astros with the way they used Witt. The White Sox actually have something to play for...with a win they avoid the worst winning percentage of the 162-game era, although 41-121 is not a lot better than 40-120.  To bad it looks like Detroit can back in at this point with the Braves much more motivated than the Royals.
    • Let's just try to win 1 playoff game before we think about a 2nd round game.
    • How is the extra hitter just "a possibility" for the WC roster? If you can't get through 3 (at most) games with 12 pitchers, you're either doing something wrong or you desperately need to spend heavily on adding better pitchers in the offseason.
