The reeling Mets, who began the year 9-4 and are now 20-24, have lost four straight games to the struggling Nationals and Marlins. Despite this, Mets manager Mickey Callaway remains firm in the confidence he has in himself and the team.

“I’m coming in tomorrow to manage the New York Mets and I’m going to be enthusiastic about it and I’m going to continue to lead this team to something special,” Callaway said, according to the New York Times.

This came on the heels of the Mets mustering up just one hit against Marlins pitcher Pablo Lopez, who last week the team lit up to the tune of 10 runs.

The now 12-31 Marlins will go for the sweep on Sunday. Coming into this series, they had lost seven straight contests.

“I do believe we have talent in there,” Callaway said. “We haven’t played like that. There’s no doubt that hasn’t been the case, but I believe those things for a reason and I believe everyone comes to the park every day for something greater than what’s been happening. We have to start making it happen, somehow, some way.”

Callaway, who is likely already on the hot seat which could become scalding hot if New York loses on Sunday, remains unfazed about questions of his job security.

“As a leader, you can’t ever worry about yourself,” he said. “I’m here. One of the things I told them when I got hired was selfless service is very important to me, and my goal every day is to improve that room, be consistent and make sure our players continue to improve.”

When asked if there was a sense of urgency to win Sunday, Callaway retorted that the only must win game is “Game 7 of the World Series.”

In addition to Callaway defending himself, players have come to his defense as well, including third baseman Todd Frazier.

“It’s not a question for me, I think he’s doing a great job,” Frazier said. “He can’t go up there and hit. He makes the lineup, he puts the guys in at the right time, and we’re not producing.”

For Callaway and the Mets, they are at a pivotal time in the season. Will they stick with their second year manager, or will the losing force ownerships hand?
