Buck Showalter and his culture held up after all. Under extreme duress, on the brink of disaster, Showalter’s Mets showed up at Citi Field on Saturday night to win a sudden-death playoff game, one night after they did not bother to show up at all.
For all his homespun stories and off-schedule filibusters designed to divert his audience from the urgent issues of the day, Showalter had to feel the heat before this one. He is universally respected for his baseball acumen, his extreme attention to detail, and his ability to mold and inspire teams over the six-month regular-season grind.He is also known as a manager with a 9-15 postseason record, and as a 66-year-old lifer who has never advanced to the World Series.
“It’s like if somebody says, ‘Is somebody’s pressing?’ ” Showalter said. “I hope so because that means you care.”
