This is really the point though. The good investors don't cut bait and sell low just because of how bad it feels bad to have a bad run. That's precisely how bad investors bust. They certainly look deeper and try to figure out if they're mis-analyzing something. But they still make their decisions on the basis of their best available analysis.
Instinctively, I agree with you that something probably sits behind the repeated under-performance, at least as a contributing factor. What I disagree with most people about are the ideas that 1) there must be something and 2) that firing Williams is the solution.
I know people have run out of patience. But this isn't counting on Milton to be an ace or Patterson to be a leadoff hitter. It just isn't. If and when people can describe specifically what is going wrong that is producing the bad outcomes, I'll discuss proposed solutions with them. But "Team bad! Fire GM! Fire manager!" is content for the ESPN message boards of old. I come to RedsZone to get away from that stuff.
