This organization is beyond despicable at this point. The hopelessness and level of ineptness is the worst in the team’s history, given the level of expectations and expenditures going into the season. I’ve followed since the first pitch in 1962. No season has caused the despair and anguish of this one
I have been calling for Buck to be fired since early May. He has proven time and time again that he is incapable of making in game decisions, is totally outmatched by his opponents, has no idea how to motivate and prepare a major league roster, and doesn’t have the fire or fortitude to dig deep when needed most. He is a proven loser, having won nothing in his career. He was the celebrity choice for manager and while he did win 101 games last year, he fizzled at the end when it mattered most and couldn’t get his team to show urgency or a will to win. This game yesterday was the last straw. A blatant failure that, in any other business, would cost a man his job. I am dumbfounded that cohen and eppler have kept him around. At least until yesterday the team seemed to have his back. But when you have a rookie showing up at the locker to take responsibility and you have a veteran pitcher contradicting the manager, it’s time to say good bye. Leadership is non-existent. And it can’t stop with Buck. It needs to include his staff of losers. They’re all inept and have shown it time and time again. I’ve been a Mets fan since I can remember holding a glove in my hand (and I’m 45 years old). I’m teaching my son to be a Mets fan but it’s getting harder and harder to tell a 6 year old to cheer for this group of losers; especially when we live in Miami and the low budget marlins are showing up and finding ways to win every day. What’s the difference between the Mets and marlins? The marlins got rid of an over the hill manager and replaced him with a fiery younger former player. The Mets can do the same with Beltran or Wright. And it’s time
While some of Buck's decisions are questionable, he cannot execute for the players. He can't communicate on the field. He can be blamed for lack of fundamentals but this is not a young team. Lindor and Pham need to communicate on a pop up.
Making a change in manager is not going to make a difference. Need the Leaders of the team to step up and I don't think that there is a player who wants to take on that role.
I agree that firing the manager and GM now would be counter-productive in the long run. Clearly Buck and Eppler are lame ducks at this point,but the org needs to show some stability which will hopefully lead to quality candidates for 2024. Hefner can leave now.

Buck started this non accountability when Buck continued to play Vogelbach early in the season. The non accountability needs to end.
