No doubt. You figure he would've learned that from Maddon when he was batting KB 2nd, but Ross was apparently too set in his ways to learn or adapt. 

I really do hope they give him the boot after this season.

I like Ross and I don't think we win the WS without him on the team. I just wish he would adapt a little quicker. I wonder how much input he gets from Hoyer -- I'm getting the feeling they let him manage how he wants.

I do think we can do better than him...but I get the sense he isn't going anywhere for a while.

Said before and I'll say it again, hated the hire from the start. Always thought it was a straight up White Sox move to hire the buddy guy manager you liked as a player in the clubhouse.

Holy shit, Belli is batting 3rd tonight. I never thought I'd live to see the day Ross moved him up. I'd prefer 2nd, but we can't have everything in life.

I guess he should've passed on that 2nd bowl of Rocky Mountain Oysters at lunch.

How is it that Dansby and Happ can’t even get wood on the ball in that situation against this pitcher? Thank god for Gomes.

He threw like 30 fastballs in a row. What the fuck is he doing? Does he have an offspeed pitch?

The Rockies. Worst team in the NL. If we can’t win these games, we don’t deserve a playoff spot.

Should have seen this coming.
