Terry Collins’ Job Appears To Be Safe

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | August 27, 2012 at 7:47am CDT

There’s “no chance” the Mets will make manager Terry Collins a scapegoat for the team’s disappointing second half and fire him this offseason or before the regular season ends, a team source told Mike Puma of the New York Post. An extension is possible for Collins, who’s under contract through 2013.

Mets officials would like to finish ahead of the Phillies and Marlins in the NL East standings to build a positive perception of the 2012 season, Puma writes. Interest in extending Collins will depend in part on the way the team plays between now and the end of the season. 

The Mets now occupy fourth place in their division with a 59-69 record, but they're 13-29 since the All-Star break. They have played to a 136-154 record in two years under the 63-year-old Collins. It wasn’t until late last September that the Mets exercised his 2013 option.

    Well, at least that’s one thing they got right. He’s done a fantastic job with the crap team the coupons have given him

    Considering that no one expected them to have a good first half I don’t see why they would be upset with a bad second half…

      They aren’t having a bad second half, they’re having a horrendous second half. They came out of the All-Star losing 5 straight games, and then 6 straight, overall starting the second half 3-13. Before this weekend, they had just won 2 home games over a month span.

        Yes I agree, I’ve always thought they should’ve gutted the team 2 years ago and started a head to toe rebuilding process ala the Cubs

    I love Terry Collins. Its not his fault that he has to put out a lineup every night from a selection of clowns. Its not his fault either that he has to pick his poison every single night when he has to make a pitching change.

    Their play since the AS Break has been hideous but overall their record is actually better than people expected them to be. A lot of “analysts” pegged this team for 100 losses

    Terry Collins has done a very good job as manager. How could they fire him? It simply wouldn’t be right! However, Alderson deserves some grief for the bullpen he put together, but overall he did a decent job as well.
    No, what really hurt the Mets was their starting pitching, most are on the DL. Had they stayed healthy, they probable would still be above .500.

      Wrong. Their starting pitching has been fantastic throughout the season. It’s the offense that has ruined the Mets.

    Agree with all the posters that Collins has done a fine job as manager of the Mets considering what he has had to work with. The players appear to love playing for him and I personally have no issue with him managing this club.

    He has done a fine job as Mets manager. He shows fire when he needs to, he’s cried from time to time as well, and he isn’t afraid to be reserved when he needs to or speak his mind when the situation arises. Definitely needs another go for another year. So long as he doesn’t become ok/complacent with the Met when they put forward bad efforts.

    The problem is that The NY Mets need some cash flow. They need an ownership group like what The Dodgers have. I would get rid of Outfielder Jason Bay, and build a better farm system. Money wins.. The Mets need a new owner.

      In that case, 90% of the league “needs” an ownership group like the Dodgers have.

        Couldn’t have said it better myself. It’s easy to say people need ownership like the Dodgers because they were agressive early, but it’s too early to judge.

          Yes agree. That deal has a high probability of destroying their financial flexibility in the fuure, ironically enough

    Good, because the only one that needs to go is Dan Warthen. He has done a horrible job as pitching coach since 2009. He has ruined TWO arms in that time frame and I don’t want him anywhere near our kids (I.E. Harvey, Wheeler) in the future.
