-- in your home today home opener to all five at Coke cola feel taken on Scranton wilkes-barre don't forget. So little chilly out today -- if you're going to the game. Hang on -- used ticket from the game you can turn that in exchange it for a ticket for any other game on the rest of this homestand at the Coke cola field box office. Sixty degree temperatures forecast for this weekend Saturday and Sunday so save your ticket and you get another game for free. Somewhere else on this homestand we are. Thrilled to have -- the manager Wally back into it this year cup couple of Mets fans who were biased joining us here on WGR she gets ready for the opener at that -- -- home opener. While it's -- Jeremy good morning welcome to the show and thanks for coming on. So. Wally are you managing -- Bush's talk a little bit about the experience so far you've had a few games on the road to take it and how are things don't -- Well so far so good you know we go up to a good start to when we're three and one we've they had had an opportunity be able win all six of those games with. You don't go on a road start season between three. We can play 500 on Rhoden and -- 65750. At home we should be pretty good ball club and curious it's it looks to be that the of the club it's coming together is pretty good ball club. The may be glad to know I might be the only one -- never seen any of your managerial explosions on YouTube so I won't ask you about those. I hope I will ask you go about your managerial style. I don't know I mean Davey Johnson become the my mind but are there guys who have influenced you a lot in terms of the manager you are today. Well I think Davies -- one of the biggest influence of the other big influence should probably Jim Leland. You know I've fortunate or my playing career to be a -- for deviant urgently Linden in Lou Piniella. Joseph Torre play for some real good managers so. You know you take bits and pieces from a little bit everybody and and kind of mold yourself around a certain way that actually it's still lifestyle will lose the way that I like to manage. What makes you wanna get into managing. Just. The challenge I think you know and I think it's it it. Turns out to be somewhat of a chess game when it's late in the game in the deemed too close and Nolan had to put players in position to where they can succeed in trying to out manager of the day it is to get the right matchup in the I enjoy that part of. How about relating to the players to I would think that's gotta be one of your strengths. You know -- not that far removed from playing and you didn't play in Major League Baseball how much does it help in terms of your relationship with the guys you match. Well I think it up and helps a lot you know I mean there you get 45 different individuals in the got to be able to understand each and every one of movement in I've always been called -- players guy have like two. Be with the players talked to the players went door is always open for the players. You know whether the games -- fun game Islam that you win and that. You know we try to teach in the right things to do and and go about their business and professional manner and and learn how to do little things you know literally they're very small step away known in the big leagues so it's almost like a policy factor now to where we're trying to policies guys. To give him consistent and it's it's all based on fundamentals and if they do those things right. Nearly got a good opportunity get the big -- While back when what does the -- of Biden's their whole -- today it to a five against the Scranton wilkes-barre yankees. While we talk about some of the top prospects that you are excited about and you got the million pitch in today. And does it Harvey I guess that you got a couple of really good pitching prospects on your roster at this point. You know we really do you know whether there are some sleepers out there -- -- with Harvey -- familiar to biggest. Pitching prospects know they're they're young. Very light arms -- -- anywhere from 94 and ninety. Exciting guys you know it's it's this is stepping stone forum here in Tripoli the learning process forum. To become consistent won't -- the the figure out how to pitch to both sides of the plate. That are consistent with their secondary stuff these days who got an opportunity go to the big leagues and in and be very good when they get to the big leagues. Why a blessing just a little reminiscing if you don't mind in your mind is focused on the game today but they obviously a lot of met fans here. And you've managed in in Binghamton -- right double double -- How often do you get people coming up yet and still thanking you for for being on the 86 club. Just about every day you know it's it's it's a great feeling to you know because the people that have New York of I've never forgotten that team and and they never will also. You know it's nice to be able revenue source some of those people and they and I try to do as much like him but it's every day that people are thankful for that year that we game and 86 it's just unfortunate we thought should've won a few more times. Well I elderly it's nice they said you're where in the number eight and I saw the other day that the number they unveiled at Citi Field it's a nice tribute to Gary Carter that you -- into. Absolutely you're it was. Not only great teammate but -- great. A great friend as well. We'll listen I know you're busy it's it to game day we thank you for taking a few minutes and come and I'll listen and best of success that the buys and the rest of the way.
