PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Collins Collins is Positive . 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.

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Steve Bannon is Negative . Story highlights The House Intelligence Committee spoke to White House strategist Steve Bannon
The White House said it was not concerned with what  Bannon  might say to Congress
(CNN)  President Donald Trump's former chief strategist Steve Bannon  faced angry lawmakers from both parties during a contentious interview that stretched more than 10 hours on Tuesday  as  he  was hit with subpoenas on multiple fronts and was accused by a top Democrat of agreeing to a White House "gag order."
 Bannon  confirmed to the House Intelligence Committee that  he  was issued a subpoena from special counsel Robert Mueller to testify before a grand jury  according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.  He  was also slapped with a new subpoena on Tuesday from the committee itself  according to Rep. Mike Conaway  the Texas Republican leading the committee's Russia probe  and committee chairman Rep. Devin Nunes  R-California  who still signs off on subpoenas.
Rep. Adam Schiff  the top Democrat on the committee  said after the hearing that  Bannon  was instructed by the White House in advance of the hearing not to respond to certain topics.
The California Democrat said the attorney for  Bannon  consulted with the White House after the committee subpoena was served Tuesday and was told his client was still not to answer questions regarding the time during the transition and in the White House.
