During his guest spot on WFAN’s Mike and the Maddog today, Willie Randolph said that, while he repeatedly gets in his player’s faces, in private, away from fans and media, he prefers for him and his players to 
remain calm, saying, ‘we cannot over-react, because this is not unusual, but we have to stay strong and get through it,’ adding, ‘and we’re gonna get through it.’
According to Randolph, Brian Lawrence was the team’s only real option for Monday’s start, since a) he was on rotation, b) Mike Pelfrey had already been set up to throw Wednesday, and c) Philip Humber was not in proper condition to start. The team felt comfortable pitching Lawrence in DC’s big park, he explained.
When asked why he continues to pitch Guillermo Mota, Randolph responded by asking, “Who else are you going to pitch, guys?” According to Randolph, Mota is still a better option than Willie Collazo or Humber, both of whom are untested and not quite ready for the major-league level.
Lastly, he says his team still ‘feels good,’ and while it would be ‘easy to panic,’ their attitude is ‘solid.’ He says Mets can should ‘keep the faith.’ because ‘we’re gonna bounce back and win this thing.’
