In baseball, justice comes without a gavel, but the New York Mets coaching staff could soon find themselves on trial. The evidence is stacked high: rallies wasted, runners marooned, and clutch situations turned into crime scenes. Fans, serving as both jury and executioner, are already restless. If justice is coming for this season, the coaching staff is always the first to walk to the gallows.
The first name on the docket is hitting coach Eric Chavez, whose offense has been guilty of missing in the game’s biggest moments. But he’s not alone. Even if the Mets reach October, third base coach Mike Sarbaugh has some explaining to do.
