Riggleman

[Hoofhearted]

Well, some most forget the injury situation when Rigs took over. Some also forget he's a sub .500 (.449 to be exact) manager who quit on a team. I think we're simply seeing a better manager than a price lead  club. Price was just that bad. I personally think they can do better than Rigs. We have great roster flexibility, youth, a farm system now... we are actually appealing to a lot of potential skippers. It's great they're playing better now, but they were bound to not stay that bad due to the very nature of baseball being baseball. Who knows how much of that was "I like to bunt to much Riggleman"? The Reds are winning more than earlier in the year because they have Eugenio Suarez, Scott Schebler, Anthony DeSclafani, Michael Lorenzen and, to some extent, Matt Harvey. Joey Votto has started hitting like Joey Votto – remember his first month? Have the Reds been committing fewer errors or base running blunders? Not that I’ve seen. Did Riggleman have early practice sessions on how to hit grand slams? Because that would merit reporting. And they lead (or tied) for that this season. So basically, this team is playing how this team is supposed to play now. I don't see a reason to not look for a better manager.
