In a Q&A with MetsGeek, the New York Sun’s Tim Marchman discusses ‘the collapse,’ among other things, as well as sportswriting, his vision for the Mets, and his opinion of Willie Randolph, of which he writes…
“I don’t know how much you can blame someone for not being a different person. He kept doing the same stupid things over and over again, like putting Guillermo Mota and Brian Lawrence in baseball games, but he did things like that last year and did fine. He’s astonishingly uninventive, and he won’t make his team better than its talent, but most managers are no different, and he actually does a lot of things well. I don’t know how much credit he should get for the way Reyes and Wright have developed, for instance, but the answer isn’t “none.”
