What's weird to me about Rocco is that when he played, he was the ultimate effort guy and was known for his hustle and energy. He's the exact opposite as a manger and doesn't hold his players to anywhere near that standard.
More successful managers than Rocco have hit a wall with their team and needed to move on. The Twins are at that point and probably reached it last September.
Good post. Mets came to mind for me. I didn't realize the Astros got off to such a slow start. One would like to think that the starting pitching will be a legitimate strength but they'll need to start winning some games where the offense can only scratch 2-3 runs.
Rocco's part of the problem. Bringing in a new manager might give them a short-term shot in the arm and a sense of urgency, but over the course of an entire season, it wouldn't matter a whole lot. This is a bad baseball team.
