Saturday’s game fell apart after the Mets had to pull Jacob deGrom prematurely due to a hip cramp. PHOENIX, ARIZONA - JUNE 01: Jacob Degrom #48 of the New York Mets delivers a first inning pitch against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field on Jin Phoenix, Arizona. “We’ll be diligent about trying to get guys where they need to be.” “Everybody has to do their job at all times or what you put together doesn’t work,” Callaway said. The Mets have lost two of those three games. Three times in the last five days Familia, Gsellman or Diaz has entered with a lead of at least four runs. Sometimes, you have to ask other guys to step up and let others recover. A manager can’t manage like each game is a must win. It’s certainly understandable as to why Callaway isn't giving certain relievers chances, but the baseball season is a 162-game marathon. Wilmer Font and Hector Santiago seem reserved for just multi-inning stints or if others are unavailable. Drew Gagnon has faded these last few outings too. He rode Tyler Bashlor during a mini hot streak, but Bashlor has cooled off and is no longer in the circle of trust. Saturday’s battle marked the Mets' 19th game in 19 days, and the last week or so has revealed how Callaway simply does not have any faith in any relievers except for his top guys. “We got to be better than this,” Callaway said. Tyler Bashlor eventually allowed a walk-off RBI single to Tim Locastro. Familia allowed three runs in the eighth inning Saturday, and Gsellman, pitching for the tenth time in 17 days, allowed a game-tying two-run blast to Adam Jones in the inning.
