Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Collins Collins ? Terry Collins â imminent firing didnât have to get ugly  if not downright reprehensible. Really  it shouldnât have been difficult at all.
The difference was the Phillies informed Mackanin of their decision â imagine that â and asked  him  to remain in the organization as an assistant to GM Matt Klentak  an offer the ex-manager said he was happy to accept.
And Mackanin failed to so much as manage the Phillies to a winning record  never mind a World Series. He was on the job for less than three full seasons  or not even half the time  Collins  managed in New York.

So why couldnât the Mets have handled their business in a similarly classy manner  instead of keeping  Collins  in the dark about a decision that was a foregone conclusion for months  and then trashing him with anonymous front-office quotes in his final few days in the big chair.
What  they got mad when  Collins   in response to names of potential successors being leaked to the media  said he had no intention of retiring at the end of the season?
If they had given him the Mackanin treatment before the Metsâ final homestand  and offered him some type of organizational job for a couple of years  Iâm certain  Collins  would have then agreed to say it was time to step down.
After all  heâs 68 and well aware the front office has been critical of his decision-making for years  particularly his handling of pitchers. While the 2017 season was hardly  Collins â fault   his  team crippled by injuries  the Metsâ brass had every right if it felt the time had come for change.

All management had to do was communicate that to  him  at some point and then allow  him  to finish the season. The team was playing out the string anyway  and though Metsâ fans have had their issues over the years with  his  in-game strategy  surely they would have given  Collins  an ovation or two last week at Citi Field.
Even if  Collins  deserves some of the blame for what turned into a cold war of sorts this summer with the front office and ownership  perhaps in part because  he  didnât like being told  he  couldnât talk about injuries  in the end Alderson should have been bigger than that.
And  yes  Iâm aware that Fred and Jeff Wilpon have the final say  but thatâs no excuse for the GM leaving  Collins  hanging.
When I spoke with  Collins  last week   he  said  he  hadnât been told a thing about  his  future. When I asked  him  if  he  had considered going to Alderson to ask about it   he  shook  his  head.
âI shouldnât have to â  he  said.
 He âs right about that.

Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Doug Armstrong ? General manager Doug Armstrong is being interviewed about the St. Louis Blues’ impressive 10-2-1 start  and it takes more than nine minutes for superstar Vladimir Tarasenko’s name to enter the conversation.
“We are not surprised that he’s producing at this level ”  Armstrong  told USA TODAY Sports. “ He  is just starting to enter the prime of  his  career.”
Schwartz  25  was a 55-point scorer last season. It looks as if  he ’s figured out how to make all of  his  skills work together this season.
“We are going to see this level for a while ”  Armstrong  said.
 Armstrong  said Schwartz reminds  him  of former NHL player Jere Lehtinen “because  he  just does everything well.”
“ He ’s a guy that (coach) Mike Yeo feels comfortable in any situation ”  Armstrong  said. “(Schwartz) is a guy you can put with any player to get them going or keep them going."
“The time-tested (theory) that everyone is better at their second job than they were the first time around is true ”  Armstrong  said. “As a manager  I know I felt much more comfortable managing in my second job and I know Mike feels the same way.”
“You learn through your first job  and you learn on the job ”  Armstrong  said. “ He ’s putting the things  he  had positive success with into play.  He ’s a good communicator  and there’s a trust with  his  players.  He  is a generational coach.  He  knows what makes this age group tick.  He ’s got a good mind for the game.”
 Armstrong  appreciates that Yeo is willing to learn even from  his  assistants.  He  supported the decision to bring in former NHL head coach Larry Robinson as an assistant. “ He  wanted strong people around  him  ”  Armstrong  said.
While Tarasenko may be sharing the spotlight  his game is just as impactful  if not more so  according to  Armstrong .
“I see a different player shift-to-shift ”  Armstrong  said. “It seems like  he  has three really solid bodychecks every game.”
 Armstrong  said Tarasenko aspires to be a complete player. “It’s not just the bodychecking ”  Armstrong  said. “It’s the understanding of his leadership (role). You can always talk a good game  but he’s doing all of the things away from the puck. His frustration level is almost non-existent now. You see that with all the great players. They battle through to be complete players and he’s there now.”
