I'm firmly in the "Rocco is objectively bad and must go" camp, but i had no problem with his decision to remove Ober yesterday.
Watching the game, Ober was clearly losing his stuff and was, IMO, lucky to get through the 6th.
I also generally believe in "lost leads late by a starter are on the manager, lost leads late by a reluever are on the reliever" theory.
Sands was bad yesterday. Really bad. A HBP to the backup catcher? Can't put away the 9 hitter? That's on Sands.
I want Rocco gone. Last year. There are so, so many reasons.
But I don't think this is on him.
