Delgado is definitely a coincidence. The way he his smoking the ball now looks nothing like the player he was under Randolph, but I could be the manager and the result would be the same. As for Reyes, it seems like Manuel must be having an effect. Reyes was like a wild kid who's parents never punished him and who thought he could get away with anything under Randolph. I expect Manuel has given him some tough love behind closed doors. But I think Manuel has only indirectly influenced Reyes. Everyone always talks about how the Mets do well when Reyes plays well, but I've come to believe the opposite is true. When the team is playing poorly, Reyes loses concentration and plays poorly too. When the team is on fire, and the spotlight is off Reyes, he seems to excel. Thanks Joe. Delgado is definitely a coincidence.

I didn't think he'd be much different than Willie but he quickly erased that doubt with how he handled Reyes in his first (or second, can't remember) game. I can defintely see him coming back next season, especially since he seems to get Reyes and Delgado going. My question is why couldn't Delgado or Reyes play like this for Willie? Were you purposely slacking off, was Willie simply a terrible manager or is this all just a coincidence? I'd like to believe its a coincidence since the idea they were trying to get someone fired is reprehensible. Delgado I can believe was just off to a slow start, but I'm not sure about Reyes since he's always had the talent. Gotta hand it to Charlie Manuel he’s done a real nice job with this ball club.

Unreal but good on him for bouncing back! Tough loss last night for the Mets though. I remember Tatis here in Triple A Ottawa for a year or two. Unreal but good on him for bouncing back!
