There has been a lot of consideration of the difference between last year’s Rockies and this year’s, but what about the differences in managing? Bud Black was among the best of the best last season, but this year that’s being questioned. It’s hard to say how much of the lack of success is due to Black’s direct involvement. However, this is a business, and sometimes there has to be changes to get results.

The players have respect for him, and while it’s easy to blame the manager, the terrible year cannot be blamed entirely on him. We’ll see what changes the Rockies are willing to make in the offseason.
