Adding to the Mets' tight turnaround between last night's game and this morning: Dominic Smith and one other Met were randomly drug tested late Wednesday.

how do you feel about mickey as a manager?
what questionable things has he done so far? i haven't been following closely
― Karl Malone, Sunday, 7 April 2019 16:30 (seven years ago)
Twitter/reddit/sbnation fans are "out for blood" (Dicomo's words) because he's supposedly making bad bullpen / lineup moves, double switching, bunting in the wrong places. He's gambled a few times with using a reliever for a second inning and has gotten burned for a few runs, but it's kind of overblown because everyone in the bullpen has been struggling aside from Diaz. It's always pretty easy to Armchair GM using hindsight. Once a member of Panic City, always a member of Panic City though.
― Michael F Gill, Monday, 8 April 2019 23:55 (seven years ago)
i am familiar with the situation. when the manager is doing questionable things that aren't working out well, and it's tough to tell where the fault lies with the manager and where it's just weird baseball luck.
― these are not all of the possible side effects (Karl Malone), Tuesday, 9 April 2019 00:10 (seven years ago)
I'd argue that none of the questionable moves have directly ended up in a loss yet. Just stuff like, "we had a comfortable lead in the game, but then the reliever struggled and we had to use Diaz again and I CANT TAKE IT."
― Michael F Gill, Tuesday, 9 April 2019 00:38 (seven years ago)
I have not seen a game all the way thru yet, but the fan sites say Callaway is addicted to double switching.

Name to watch if #Mets fire Callaway: Carlos Beltrán. Bi-lingual. Strong communicator. Played for #Mets from 2005 to ‘11. Interviewed for #Yankees’ job that went to Boone.
