How badly does one have to fuck up to be demoted to first base coach from GM?

Yep. He won't get a manager job right away, so he took a job where he gets to be a coach and travel with the team. I think Amaro is also really good friends with Boston's front office.
Man has a dream.

Amaro is a guy who only got the GM spot due to family ties in the Phillies organization. I think he would be much better suited for on-the-field stuff as a former player.
Pretty funny that both Amaro and Frank Wren work for the Red Sox now.

Get Minaya in there for good measure.

I can see it now. David Ortiz is on first, next man up gets a hit and before David can get on 2nd Ruben will have signed him to a 4 year/$125 million extension.

I can see Amaro coaching 1B in his GM suit with a desk in the chalk line.

I still say to this day that it would still have bounced off the wall above Carrasco's head. but it was not a homerun for sure. but last night's "homerun that was not" was definitely a homerun.
Get some of that Searage hoodoo.

He only scored because Batista threw it to the wrong guy.

I'm liking the Royals chances a lot better this year than last year. They can mash better and the bullpen and defense is still the best in the world.
That rotation the Mets is bringing might pose a challenge, but I see no Bumgardners.

The Mets have 3 pitchers that are better than Bumgarner.
Better than playoff Bumgarner, that's closer, but I'll still take the Mets rotation there.

None of the Mets pitchers will put up numbers even close to Bumgarner last year, don't kid yourself. That's among the most dominant performances of all time.
Now between the staff, they can certainly take over a series. We'll see how they do against our lineup, which is extremely balanced. We alternate left-right every other hitter, and all are solid contact guys (except for Salvy). We've got several 20+ homerun guys, so the power is there, and the team has great success against the fastball.
I'm expecting a fist fight all series.
Seriously. I am thinking some people have forgotten just what Bumgarner did last year.
Game 1 - 7 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 SO
Game 5 - 9 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 8 SO
Game 7 - 5 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 4 SO
If ANY of the Mets pitchers match that, then my hat is off to him because he will have almost single-handedly won the series for them - just like Bumgarner did.
Don't get me wrong - as a Royals fan I am dreading facing down that rotation, but none of them has proven that they can do what Bumgarner did as of yet. What he did was otherworldy. The Royals can beat good pitching, but they struggle against Kryptonians.

deGrom and Harvey have IMO. deGrom is having command issues and Harvey had them first game. But Harvey was masterful in his second start and deGrom was unhittable in his first.

Nobody on the Mets staff makes me remotely nervous. They're great pitchers. They're also hittable. Offense from the Royals doesn't worry me.
I'm more concerned about the Royals pitching staff keeping them in the game. I think we're better offensively, defensively, and in the bullpen. I think we're vastly inferior in starting pitchers.

Starters will decide this baby. I don't think the Royals SPs can get the job done. But that hasn't stopped the Royals, comeback experts. Mets bullpen sucks.

Did everyone else see this? The New York Times covered the Mets NLCS win as if it was 1908.
