It’s a move that most expected following yet another disappointing and drama-filled season in New York. The Mets announced on Thursday that they have fired manager Mickey Callaway after just two seasons.

While Callaway did lead New York to 86 wins, his in-game managing style left a lot to be desired. There were calls for his head even prior to the All-Star Break.

It’s in this that Twitter and the baseball world had its reactions to the Mets announcing this not-so surprising move.

Callaway finishes with a 163-161 record over two seasons.

In a statement, Brodie Van Wagenen called the decision to fire Callaway "in the best interest of our franchise at this time."

“We want to thank Mickey for his consistent work ethic and dedication," Van Wagenen said.

Mickey Callaway was an amazing manager because he was a former MLB pitcher and pitching coach who seemed to have no idea how to manage a pitching staff.
