They asked Callaway that very question, and in this new world baseball, the stats say in 95% of these situations it doesn't matter, and with only 2 active catchers on the roster, and McNeil the emergency backup, it was far better to keep him on the base path.
He was great before the break last season, mediocre afterwards. I believe the 2nd half numbers are more who he is now.
The day off is not for the players it's for the owners. Just in case there is bad weather they can just move the game one day and not have to issues refunds for a sell out. As you saw with the Mets trip to Syracuse the owners don't care about the players getting settled in.

Because he used too many pitchers in the 7th. He expected to use Peterson in the 8th, having double switched for that purpose. However, when the Mets had their big inning and had a chance to take the lead, he had no choice but to hit for Peterson. That left him short for the rest of the game. He had already said that Lugo was unavailable.
Sign Dallas Keuchel and put Matz or Vargas in bullpen.
We could sign him but really want to see what Matz and Vargas do in their first couple of games.
Aim higher. I want em all. But I hear you. 2 of 3 at minimum. Those pesky Marlins seemed to give us fits at time last season. But on paper they seem to have an even worse team than last year.
I’m concerned about mets starters excluding Jacob. Noah has done diddly for past 2 years. Which wheeler do we get? And matz and Vargas are perennial question marks. Signing Keuchel would be ideal as there is no starter on farm
Good job, coach. Now maybe we shamed the 3B guy (WTF is his name) into doing something productive.
