Luis Guillorme has earned a roster spot as a utility infielder in a surprise move that sent Adeiny Hechavarria packing. Hallelujah, cuz Aunt Daisy can outhit Adeiny.

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 (five years ago) link
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 (five years ago) link
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 (five years ago) link
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 (five years ago) link
I have not seen a game all the way thru yet, but the fan sites say Callaway is addicted to double switching.
