Buck Showalter should have been a football coach, a truth that transcends his affection for the Alabama Crimson Tide and his belief that Bryce Young should be the No. 1 overall pick.
Like a football coach, Showalter loves to control every detail of every drill of every day, and hates to talk about injuries.But one of his starting pitchers,, as first reported by The Post’s Mike Puma, and as much as Showalter tap-danced around the questions before and after the Mets’ 9-3 road victory over the Marlins, he couldn’t run from this basic spring training truth:
In his 22nd season running a big-league club, the 66-year-old Showalter has no more time for excuses now than he did as a rookie manager with the Yankees in 1992. He has attacked a culture of dysfunction and defeat that had long consumed baseball’s second team in town. “That’s what I’m charged to do,” he said. “What bothered me at the end of it was, should I have done it earlier?”The manager was sitting with a reporter in his Port St. Lucie office in the morning, swiveling his head right to survey his roster posted on this wall, then left to survey his team’s schedule on that wall. He had a few flowers in a jar on his desk left over from the 40 he gave his wife Angela for their 40th anniversary last week.
