Mets have fired two batting coaches, Chili Davis and Tom Slater. The Mets have averaged 3.30 runs per game, 29th in the majors and ahead of only the Detroit Tigers.
"Their new centerpiece, shortstop Francisco Lindor, is batting .163. Only one National League player — Cincinnati’s Eugenio Suarez — had a lower average through Monday with a minimum of 100 plate appearances. And at least Suarez had five home runs. Lindor has one."
It's part of the job and every incumbent knows it: It's far easier to fire coaches and managers than firing players. It's tough, though, that somebody like Lindor, he of diamond earrings and bleached blonde hair, fails (among others, of course) and two decent guys lose their jobs.
