Why do the Mets insist on making the same mistakes over and over? First, the offense has not done well when Castillo is in the 2-hole. I don't care how much Willie "loves Castillo as a two hitter", it doesn't matter. As of right now, this year, the team does not bat well for whatever reason with Castillo in two-hole. Keep him in 7 or 8 for now.
Second, WHY do you pull Maine? I'm sorry, but this team has a brutal stretch ahead of it, with 21 games in 20 days. That's right, we don't have an off day for 20 more days. YOU MUST PRESERVE THE BULLPEN at all costs. Maine has only thrown 99 pitches after 4 innings. Too bad that he put the first two guys on in the bottom of the 5th; so long as he is below 120 pitches THAT'S HIS MESS TO CLEAN UP. Period.

Wow is Heilman slumping hard.
Wow, Willie just keeps burying himself. Bad enough he pulls Maine early in Game 1, all but guaranteeing he was dooming himself since he had Varg-ass starting game 2. But then to throw Wise out there twice? What's the logic? Pitchers hate warming up, cooling down for a long period and then pitching again, which is why the starters are typically yanked in the middle of a game if there's a long rain delay. Why would you go back to Wise?
Talk about two huge coaching mistakes in one day, IMO.
All your hopes and dreams and goodwill from the Yankees series this weekend....gone.
And now Willie's blaming SNY, Hernandez, racism, ...
The record is the record Willie, no way around it. And it is not good.
