00:00And when David Stearns yesterday says, well, we reached out to other people,
00:03no formal interviews, but we reached out, I don't know if I truly believe him.
00:06I don't know if I trust him.
00:08And that's the issue that David Stearns has to fix with us.
00:10We don't trust him.
00:11And so I would love to think that the Mets reached out to Alex Cora and spoke to him.
00:17I would love to think they asked Carlos Beltran, which they probably did.
00:20I'd love to think they picked the brain of Bruce Bochy.
00:23I'd love to think they talked to everybody.
00:25But I don't trust that they did.
00:27So while I think Andy Green did a very solid job, not defined by his record, it was 500,
00:32but defined by the way he pushed young players, handled young players, and the way that locker room moved,
00:37I don't think he's a bad hire.
00:39I just would have gone through the entire process.
00:41Yeah, but do you need to hit a home run with the hire?
00:44No.
00:44Yeah, so then this is why you settle for him.
00:47But you don't have to settle.
00:48You can interview a bunch of different people.
00:50I mean, that's what it sounds like you're saying, that they settled.
00:52They didn't do the process.
00:53They didn't interview.
00:55They certainly didn't interview anybody else.
00:57They didn't formally interview them, but because those guys don't have jobs,
01:00was David Stearns on the phone with Alex Cora for two and a half hours?
01:03Maybe.
01:03I don't trust that they were.
01:05Like, I can't tell you they didn't, but I'm right now in a spot,
01:08and I think a lot of Mets fans are, with all due respect to Steve Cohen, if you're listening,
01:11we don't trust the franchise right now.
01:14We just don't.
01:15So I'd like to think you did look everywhere.
01:19I wouldn't call it a settle.
01:21I think Andy Green earned this job.
01:23My only critique would have been I would have looked all over.
01:27I would have had open conversations with a lot of different candidates.
01:30But I thought overall he did a really good job.
