Final hours for Mets manager?: Callaway apologizes for pulling Syndergaard after bullpen blows game


We've seen this in today's baseball time and time again. 
A manager pulls a starting pitcher that's pitching well in favor of a suspect bullpen.  It's a move that's easily second guessed if it blows up in the managers face.  Last night it did just that to Mets manager Mickey Callaway.   
The Score reports Mickey Callaway might be on the hot seat once again.

It was only a couple of weeks ago when New York Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen said Callaway would be the team's manager for the "foreseeable future," but the skipper made what he believes to be a blunder Tuesday night against the San Francisco Giants and issued an apology for the decision.

Callaway opted to pull starter Noah Syndergaard - who had thrown 103 pitches - with two outs in the seventh inning and replace him with Seth Lugo; a decision the starter appeared to be unhappy about.
