After replacing Jim Tracy in 2012, Weiss has posted a below .500 record of 208-278 — not something Rockies’ fans everywhere expected with such a high-powered offense. Pitching has been the problem as usual, not getting enough quality starts to keep the game relatively close. Playing from behind can take a toll on players, especially when it is a daily occurrence. It sure doesn’t help that the team you are coaching has the league’s worst ERA (5.04).

As for Walt Weiss, he has been an OK manager. Nothing flashy yet nothing really worthy of warranting his extension.
