All things considered, Mickey Callaway’s tenure as the Mets’ manager has gotten off to a fairly uneventful start.
His counterpart with the Phillies, meanwhile, arrived at Citi Field under some early fire that lingered for another day as Monday’s game against the Mets got snowed out.
First-year manager Gabe Kapler made headlines for all the wrong reasons during the Phillies’ opening series in Atlanta, hitting a low point when he called for a reliever who hadn’t yet warmed up.
On Saturday, with Phillies starter Vince Velasquez laboring and at 69 pitches with two outs in the third inning, Kapler went to the mound to make a change.
