And why is that? I really don't know. Those two don't have to be all-stars but they have to be serviceable, and right now they aren't even that, which rests on coaching to a degree because I refuse to believe both of them are busts. Nothing in their approaches seems to change, they continue to do the same approach at the plate with the same piss poor outcome. That is coaching. It isn't all Ned but being the "head" coach, the whole environment has to change with him leading. He isn't.
That being said, bringing in someone knew likely won't help.

Your first sentence is what I have been preaching the last few weeks. Yes, it is true that baseball managers have the least impact on the outcome of a game compared to other sports.
HOWEVER......any team, regardless of sport, will reflect their manager\head coach.
