Callaway is off to a smooth start, Gabe Kapler not so much

Mickey Callaway met expectations during his first series as Mets manager this past weekend, during which his team won two of three games from the Cardinals.

In eyeing Twitter, comment sections and listening to talk radio, I didn't hear much second-guessing. He received a fair dose of criticism for his lineup Saturday, but that settled down quickly as the Mets won, 6-2. And Sunday's loss had more to do with Steven Matz and Luke Weaver than any one decision made by Callaway.

The Mets were scheduled to begin their second series of the season Monday.
