It couldn’t have turned into more of a nightmare in Mickey Callaway’s first shot as a manager. He came from an organization with recent success and brought a fresh voice. Yet the New York Mets are once again in the same spot they were a year ago.
It’s easy to lay a lot of blame on Callaway and his in-game moves have been brought into question on more than a few occasions. But any talk of firing Callaway at this point would be premature and counter-productive.
The jury, to a degree, is still out on how Callaway will eventually work out as a manager.
