Wacky Willie

In the bottom of the 6th inning last night, Mets buffoon Willie Randolph replaced Scott Schoeneweis with Jorge Sosa. Probably to show that he knows all about National League baseball strategy, he double switched, removing catcher Paul Lo Duca (who was 2 for 3), putting Sosa in Lo Duca's place at 7th in the batting order, and putting in Mike DiFelice at catcher in the 9th spot in the batting order.

Then, in the top of the 7th inning, Willie pinch hit for DiFelice with Reuben Gotay. Then in the bottom of the 7th, Willie replaced Sosa with Willie Collazo and put Ramon Castro in at catcher, with Collazo back in the 9 spot, and Castro batting seventh.

Here's what Willie's double switch accomplished: He took out his starting catcher in middle of an inning, and wasted three bench players (DiFelice, Castro and Gotay) for absolutely no reason.

This is one of the more egregious examples of Willie's sheer stupidity, but it is far from an isolated incident of his mismanagement.

May the Mets bring back Bobby V speedily in our days.
