This is all on Rocco.
Those of you who don't think Rocco is a problem need to get your heads out of the clouds.
Does it look like it to any of you that the players want to play for this guy?( I don't blame the players for this)
They clearly don't and they have quit on him.
Did you notice that Atlanta and pretty much every other team we play uses the same line up most of the time?
Do you notice how our line up changes on a game by game basis?
You can complain all you want about the players but this game is all about rythem.
How the heck are any of the players going to get into any kind of grove if they are sitting every other game, Batting 9th one day and leading off the next, etc.
I don't want to hear anymore about how Rocco was manager of the year blah blah blah.
The ball was juiced that year and any person except for Ron Davis could have won over 100 games with that line up.
This team has talent. They just need someone with a pulse to come in here and energize them.
I think it's as simple as that.
I always work better and harder for a boss that I like and guessing most of you all do as well.
