The Mets have lost 11 straight games and the heat is rising fast on Carlos Mendoza. This team is 7-15, tied for the worst record in baseball, and for a club with the second-highest payroll in MLB, this start is beyond embarrassing.
Is Mendoza the main problem? Probably not.
But is he the one who takes the fall when a team with massive expectations keeps collapsing? Absolutely.
On today’s show:
* Why Mendoza may not deserve all the blame
* Why managers are hired to be the fall guy in spots exactly like this
* Why last year’s collapse makes this even worse
* Why the Mets can’t keep selling patience to this fan base
* Whether firing the manager would actually change anything
