Read: Pressure is On Willie
Much of the media attention regarding the Mets’ recent struggles has been directed toward Willie Randolph.
In Newsday, Jim Baumbach writes:
“Today, for the first time, you can say it for real. Randolph’s job has to be in jeopardy.”
Bart Hubbuch starts his column in the New York Post as follows:
“There are losses, and then there are soul-crushing nightmares that send teams spiraling and get managers fired. “
And finally, Joel Sherman at the Post pens:
“He is presiding over unease in the clubhouse, sloppiness on the field and what sure plays publicly as too much indifference by too many players.”
On a side note, Adam Rubin at the Daily News reports that Rockies manager Clint Hurdle has already invited Willie to be part of the coaching staff at the All-Star game on July 15th at Yankee Stadium.
…i have to say, the media is justified with their scrutiny…things certainly have gotten out of hand in a hurry, and although the sky isn’t falling yet, it sure does seem like it will unless things get turned around in a hurry…
