SouthernJet Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Continued gaffes not helping Randolph's cause by Ken Rosenthal [url=http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/8237716?MSNHPHMA#tb] Even on a night when the Mets won, manager Willie Randolph lost. Randolph made two more decisions Wednesday night that drew scrutiny from Mets management, according to major-league sources. The decision on whether to fire Randolph rests with general manager Omar Minaya, and his status has become almost day-to-day, sources say. The Mets chose to retain Randolph during a meeting on May 26 in which he met with Minaya, owner Fred Wilpon and his son, Jeff, the team's chief operating officer. Since then, the team is 8-8, and it had lost five straight games before defeating the Diamondbacks 5-3 on Carlos Beltran's two-run walk-off homer in the 13th inning Wednesday night. The Mets had taken a 3-0 lead into the ninth, but the Diamondbacks tied the score on a three-run homer by Mark Reynolds off closer Billy Wagner on a 3-2 count with two outs. For Randolph, that was the fateful inning. First, he allowed second-year right-hander Mike Pelfrey to start the ninth after Pelfrey had thrown 110 pitches. Then, after a leadoff single by Stephen Drew, Randolph summoned Wagner, even though statistics suggest that Wagner is far better starting an inning than when summoned in the middle.

mbn007 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Personally, I think Willie survives June. If a change is made, it will be closer to the All Star break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I hear you can get a mean Mojito in the Mets clubhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
