With Collins Under Scrutiny for Pitching Decisions, His Latest Pays Off

Mets Manager Terry Collins has a strong stomach. That was evident in an answer he gave on Monday about how he deals with criticism — from the news media, from Mets fans, and even from within the team — concerning his heavy use of his bullpen.

“It’s part of the job,” he said. “You take the body blows; that’s what this job’s all about. I do my ab work every day so I can get through them.”

Collins showed more fortitude during the Mets’ 4-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers at Citi Field.
