But you know, it's important we get Escobar in the lineup with his .547 OPS vs RHP this year in the lineup. That's awesome.
Tommy Pham, too. .542 OPS vs RHP this year.
If you want Vogey in the lineup vs RHP, fine. Baty in LF and Vientos at 3B. Problem solved. Live with Baty in LF for awhile.
It's becoming VERY hard to argue against the fact that Buck STRONGLY favors veterans to the point it will become a ?? if he should be the guy leading what will likely be an increasingly young team in the next 2-3 seasons. Maybe he adjusts his mindset? One has to hope.

Bingo, and I like Buck for the most part. No excuse to have Pham and Escobar in there, but no Vientos. If this crap continues, it is pretty clear Buck is not the right man for the job. The front office needs to also direct Buck. I'm not one for the front office meddling in managerial decisions, but they need to tell Buck the kids need to play

Gary Sanchez can opt out from his minor league deal with the Mets tomorrow. One possibility the Mets are strongly weighing is asking Sanchez to extend another 10 days before a decision is reached.

Buck Showalter on why Mark Vientos is not in the lineup today for the Mets:
Outside of being a veteran, no he isn't. Eppler should go all Billy Beane and trade every veteran so Buck HAS TO play young players.

Except Eppler seems to be a major part of this problem as well.

What is this? A menu? Buck is a stubborn mofo. Cohen needs to step in and check him.

Agreed. You're being reasonable though. Buck won't be satisfied.
