New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said Monday that he doesn't hold manager Terry Collins responsible for the team's 21-27 start.
"I'm happy with the job Terry has done under the circumstances," Alderson told reporters. "Nobody is happy with the won-lost record. There are reasons for the record that have nothing to do with Terry."
Alderson made his comments in response to recent reports that the Mets' front office has taken issue with Collins' game management, especially when it comes to bullpen usage.
