New York Mets manager Mickey Callaway may have held his exit interview on Sunday following a loss to the Chicago Cubs. In yet another game blown by the bullpen, the Mets lost 5-3.
Strategically, Callaway did a lot right with his pitching staff. He let Jacob deGrom go through six (easy choice) and then called upon Seth Lugo for the seventh. Where he lacked intuition was when Lugo clearly lacked his best stuff. Rather than make a pitching change in the eighth, he left his most trusted reliever on the mound laboring.
