Suprised that the Bell thread didn't get resurrected.
So since it was his fault that the Reds were mired in mediocrity, should he get credit for leading them back into the playoff picture? Is he responsible for the energy we are seeing in the dugout?
Unless I am missing something, I think his in-game strategy has been largely the same as it always was. But the bullpen has settled in, the rotation continues to carry the team, and the offense has hit a few timely homeruns.
What am I missing? Is he still a terrible manager? Or a leader of men?
