New York Mets Terry Collins said talked today about his working relationship with bench coach Bob Geren, who will hold the same position with the Dodgers in 2016:

“Bob was a very good help for me,” Collins said. “Bob, one of the things about him, was that he offered information and I appreciated it. Didn’t always go with what he had to say, but sometimes I did. He’s well thought out. He’s a bright guy, brought a nice counter to the bench.

“But we had running conversations throughout the game about what we think we should do, and I think sometimes it just helped to have another opinion.”
