Mickey Callaway had a simple explanation for Travis d’Arnaud’s slow start to the season.
“It’s almost like everything he’s doing is not working,’’ the manager said after another rough night for the backup catcher in the Mets’ 8-6 loss to the Brewers on Saturday.
Coming back from Tommy John surgery, d’Arnaud entered Saturday hitless in his previous nine at-bats and just 1-for-20 on the season, which led to the Citi Field crowd booing him even before he came up in the second inning with two on and two out.
Things only got worse, as d’Arnaud flied to right.
