"This core has not won. Maybe it's time to go with the different core" On Baseball Night in New York, The Terry Collins Show discusses the Mets breaking up their core, as well as the pressure on Carlos Mendoza with a new coaching staff and changing clubhouse ▶️ Tri-State Cadillac

@TerryCollins_10 @Cadillac Core didn’t need changing. Core needed help from a decent pitching staff

@TerryCollins_10 @Cadillac Is the "new core" in the room with us now Terry? They haven't acquired anyone

@TerryCollins_10 @Cadillac I'm a Mets fan since 1967, I have on question. Is anyone else getting tired of the whining?

@TerryCollins_10 @Cadillac The " core" didn't win because the gm went bargain bin shopping for pitching. I can't stand blanket takes like this. If anything, the "core" should've been built upon with better pitching and getting a 5th hitter to help the line-up.

@TerryCollins_10 @Cadillac In no way is that because of Pete. AT ALL.

@TerryCollins_10 @Cadillac Yes. The ‘core’ of a former Yankee closer, a guy who blew out his Achilles, a guy who’s hurt every fucking year that couldn’t throw a strike, and Franky F*cking MontASS didn’t get it done a year after going to the NLCS. What a shock amirite?

@TerryCollins_10 @Cadillac Cool. How long is it gonna take to build a better core? 5 years?

@TerryCollins_10 @Cadillac The core did not fail the team last year. The team failed the core by not making moves required to win.

@TerryCollins_10 @Cadillac Terry come on, the core was fine when we had a rotation that could get out of the Fourth inning. The core didn’t fail this year the rotation did.

@TerryCollins_10 @Cadillac 4 people cannot win by themselves. You had Lindor, Soto, Alonso, and Diaz. If you can't build a winning team around those four, the problem is not the four of them. Fire Stearns today.

@Cadillac He's trying to stick around for Old Timers Day and other Casino Cohen events.

@TerryCollins_10 @Cadillac The Mets didn’t miss the playoffs because of Alonso Diaz or Nimmo they missed the playoffs because Stearns decided that Lindor should lead off every game already losing this team had no chance with the pitching we had. Team had the best offensive stretch in Mets history and lost

@TerryCollins_10 @Cadillac This core was in the NLCS last year. Maybe it’s the fact that Stearns didn’t do anything about the pitching. And then put his thumb up his ass during the trade deadline. There’s a reason he doesn’t work in Milwaukee anymore.

@TerryCollins_10 @Cadillac Terry is right. Thing is, Diaz and (to a lesser extent) Pete, were not the parts of the core that needed to go.

@TerryCollins_10 @Cadillac ITS THE FUCKING STARTERS! AND THE MEDIOCRE BULLPEN!.. …………EXCEPT DIAZ.

@TerryCollins_10 @Cadillac The problem is now there's no core, and Stearns doesn't seem willing to top quality players #Mets

@TerryCollins_10 @Cadillac This is such a bullshit argument. The core isnt the problem ITS THE PLAYERS AROUND THE CORE THAT DIDNT DO SHIT

@TerryCollins_10 @Cadillac It wasn't Alonsos fault Stearns put together a rotation and bullpen from off the rack

@TerryCollins_10 @Cadillac No division titles. No NL pennants. Multiple embarrassing collapses. It’s not rocket science. Changes need to be made that were seismic in nature. Nobody in the clubhouse should feel comfortable. Terry is spot on

@TerryCollins_10 @Cadillac How stupid of a statement "the core" doesn't win alone Whatever the GM signs players to assist the core & pitching that's what you should be looking at the setup was poor juggling players in the infield was a disaster David Stearns did this 💩

@TerryCollins_10 @Cadillac So did the Mets FO put out these talking points? I guess the Yankees should trade Judge, and they should have traded Mattingly, and the Mets should never have signed Wright to a long term contract, etc etc. Just how long do you try out good players then?

Breaking up the core is fine. The problem is who is going to replace that core and become the new core. If you go with a bunch of minor leaguers than you basically are nothing more than a rebuilding which will not sell in NYC. If they want to contend they better get some talent.

@TerryCollins_10 @Cadillac Don't won because the starting pitchers can't complete 5 inning ... And you get out the batters ... Nimmo, Alonso .... Crazy strategy

@TerryCollins_10 @Cadillac Love TC, but it’s a dumb talking point. It takes 25 guys to win. Build around the core better. They were 2 games short of the WS in 24 and what did they do? Added Holmes, Canning, Montas, Minter and Siri. Is that supporting the core? No way. Not close to enough.

@TerryCollins_10 @Cadillac The core was not the problem, the patchwork starting pitching was, never a real ace since they let deGromm walk.

@TerryCollins_10 @Cadillac We are already 6 years into a 5 year plan to win the World Series. Starting over?….again. Met fans want to see wins. Consistent playoff appearances. Here we go again waiting….and waiting. Next year, next year, next year. Gets old. Fast.

@TerryCollins_10 @Cadillac Which is fine but there’s no reason to believe Sterns is going to bring in another core that wins

@TerryCollins_10 @Cadillac

@TerryCollins_10 @Cadillac The core they’re dismantling wasn’t the problem. They’ve performed. It’s the trash they’ve surrounded the core with that’s been the problem. Blaming the guys who actually performed is just Stearns deflection tactic.

@TerryCollins_10 @Cadillac Terry Collins is trying to help the mess in Queens. We love Terry, but we can’t hide the truth...

@TerryCollins_10 @Cadillac Terry sticking to the company story. The core was fine, it was the malpractice by the President of Baseball Operations as it relates to the pitching staff that was/is the problem. But please, let’s continue to blame the guys that did their jobs.

@TerryCollins_10 @Cadillac Be honest, Stearns failed, August signings suck, before the season, giving two years to a pitcher with long injury history, disaster, one to blame Stearns,he destroyed the team, we already know, he sucks signing good players. Taking advantage of the farm system in place already.

@TerryCollins_10 @Cadillac So Alonso, Diaz and Nimmo are to blame for terrible pitching? GFOH

@TerryCollins_10 @Cadillac And they’re dragging out old guy. Leave poor Terry alone. Meanwhile. Stearns is in hiding. What a POS.

@TerryCollins_10 @Cadillac It’s gonna be one of those seasons where I stop watching by May- June. This team has gotten worse
