If the 1973 season had been 60 games I think the Reds finish 4th in the NL West. The 1974 Orioles finish 4th-5th in the AL East. 1992 Braves were under .500 after 60 games. There is no context in regards to how teams that are slow starting with new additions to their roster don’t just work well in limited situations.
I would still not want Bell as the manager as he has no feel or player motivation skills but the FO hacks who want push button managers have themselves to blame.
This organization does better by bringing in outsiders. Sparky was an outsider. McNamara May have been average to most but he was still a good enough manager to compete and win divisions. An outsider.
Lou and Davey and Dusty were too. Complete outsiders. The only one that did not work was Bob Boone.
