Early in the season, I was the biggest defender of Luis Rojas and his management of this year’s New York Mets. I felt that he did a great job keeping this team together for so long. In a tougher division, the Mets would’ve fallen behind, but he was able to keep this team in first place, despite throwing out a Triple-A lineup every night in May and June.
I was very reluctant to some criticism of Rojas. Most Twitter users are largely concerned with a manager’s ability to put in the correct relievers and manage them appropriately, but a lot of this is an overreaction.
