What is he supposed to do to improve their performance? He can tinker with the lineup, which he did. He can personally instruct players like Bradley which he did. He can give them the big motivation speech before every game. Who knows if he did or not, but I would think he did. Even if he didn't give the Knute Rockne speeches, is that really an excuse to let the players have a free pass?
The guy is a baseball manager, not a miracle worker.
