Date	Question	Answer
2019-05-20 12:00:00 (link to chat)	So is Mickey fired before or after tonight's game? (jcoan59 from Jersey Shore)	I’m just excited to see if the Mets can make more of a hash of this than the Art Howe and Willie Randolph firings. I will not bet against them ever. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2015-01-08 12:00:00 (link to chat)	Say you're the unilateral decision maker for a future Veteran's Committee charged with electing a single second basemen. Who do you pick? It's me, right? (Bobby Grich from Dover)	This really comes down to Grich or Whitaker (or maybe Willie Randolph if you squint real hard). I'm giving the edge to Grich because he had a 70 or better mustache, and his peak was a little higher. For a couple of seasons he was a monster, and I like strong peaks in my HoFers. (Jeff Long)
2011-01-12 13:00:00 (link to chat)	If Brown pitches well in Game 7 of the 2004 ALCS, the Yankees make the WS that year, and everyone's memory of him isn't the Damon GS, is he getting quite a few more votes? That's not even an alternate universe, that's an alternate block. (Charlie from Bethesda, MD)	There's still the steroids thing, alas, not that anyone making judgments on that basis really knows what the hell they're talking about. You change two of his 18-win seasons into 20s and give him a Cy Young award, and he gets in. I sometimes think the same way about Willie Randolph, a favorite of mine. Willie was an excellent fielder and a very good, albeit subtle hitter, and he tended to miss 20-30 games a year to injury. He scored 90-plus runs four times. Change those to 100s and the voters might have had a different perception of him. (Steven Goldman)
2011-01-12 13:00:00 (link to chat)	When I was a kid a had a "Nobody Beats the Wiz" poster with Willie Randolph, Dave Winfield, Rickey Henderson and Don Mattingly on it. I loved that poster. No question, just wanted to share. (Charlie from Bethesda, MD)	Their commercials weren't quite as annoying at Crazy Eddie's were. (Steven Goldman)
2009-08-05 13:00:00 (link to chat)	You're being too kind to Minaya. Go listen to him explain his rationale for firing Willie Randolph on the WFAN archive. It's completely incoherent. When he gets things right, he doesn't know why. He's barely an improvement over having the team run by a fan poll. (Tony from Brooklyn, NY)	Barely an improvement? Would the fan poll have outbid themselves for Ollie Perez? (Marc Normandin)
2009-05-04 14:00:00 (link to chat)	Jerry Manuel is really starting to get on my nerves. Between the Castro/Santos stunt, over-playing Sheffield and batting him 4th, and going to Shawn Green instead of K-Rod in the 10th inning in Philly on Saturday (not that every other manager in the majors wouldn't have) he's made a season's worth of dumb moves in a week. Has a team ever paid THREE managers simultaneously? (Steve from NJ)	I think Manuel has done more to call his ability as a manager into question than Willie Randolph ever did. Not saying I'd fire him, just that he has, to me, seemed objectively worse. (Joe Sheehan)
2008-06-17 15:00:00 (link to chat)	We know the way it was handled was wrong but were the Mets right in firing Willie Randolph? (David from NJ)	Well, as botched a job as it was, I don't entirely disagree with the decision to dismiss Randolph. As Rob Neyer pointed out at ESPN, there's a good argument to make that he's not the right manager at the right time for this club, even given its flimsy construction. Managers aren't solely tacticians. They're leaders of men (some very boyish men at times). Different managers have different styles, but some seem to be better at protecting their teams by placing themselves in the line of fire and drawing the attention away from the struggles of their clubs. Ozzie Guillen is a good example of this now, as batsht crazy as he may seem, there's a method to his madness. Joe Torre does the same thing while exuding an aura of pure calm. Bobby Valentine, Casey Stengel, Leo Durocher, Tommy Lasorda - the styles can vary but that function is an important one. Randolph didn't handle that aspect of the job very well. The Mets have carried a very negative aura around them since last year's collapse, and not even the acquisition of Johan Santana could erase that. At some point Randolph should have just said strong words to the effect of "Don't connect this club to last year's mess, it's a new day and we've moved on so you should too." Instead he played the race card and in doing so started the countdown on his own sell-by date. (Jay Jaffe)*

2009-10-21 17:00:00	NLCS Game 5	bobbailey (Canada): Steve, I see your point about batting order, but doesn't maxing out PAs for your best hitter (putting him leadoff) mean that he will be batting with many fewer men on base, even with the extra PAs? Especially in the NL. Batting Pujols leadoff just doesn't seem like a good idea. I think that you would lose in that transaction, but there are all kinds of other ways to skin that cat. I point to Billy Martin's 1985 Yankees, which often batted Rickey Henderson and Don Mattingly 1-2. Maybe Mattingly would have seen more runners if 75-90 walk guy Willie Randolph batted second, but Randolph also had no slugging, so he wasn't going to move Henderson more than one base, whereas Mattigly hit a lot of doubles and home runs. (Steven Goldman)
2008-10-10 13:30:00	Friday LCS	Green ask: " Is it any wonder the USA lost the World Baseball Classic with Buck at the helm? Question -- do we have a manager for the 2009 team?" Good question. I haven't heard. Davey Johnson? Willie Randolph? Smart play -- I can't remember seeing a steal with the shift on and it's always made sense to me. (Will Carroll)
