If he’s cost us 5 losses, how many wins do you credit him with, then? These kinds of questions do nothing, say nothing. Losing is a team effort. So is winning. Maybe a move the manager made cost them a win. Or maybe the player who struck out looking did, or made an error did. So many here credit him with losses but then don’t credit him with wins. Many here scream at moves and decisions he makes then say the team win in spite of him. While I don’t think he’s the best manager out there, I don’t think he’s responsible for losses alone. I don’t think he’s responsible for wins alone, either. And he can only work with the roster he’s given and I think the players are mostly responsible for wins and losses. While the season isn’t over yet, I’m happy where the team is at because I didn’t expect the team to do well. Season isn’t over yet, so who knows. But my pre-season doubts were squarely on the owner, and not the manager.
