Just a day removed from seeing their seasons end, the Colorado Rockies announced Monday morning that manager Walt Weiss has decided to step down, leaving the managerial position vacant heading into the offseason.
Colorado finished the season 75-87 — the most wins since 2010 (83-79). In his four years as manager of the Rockies, Weiss posted a record of 283-365.
Now, we all know this team could’ve and should’ve been better, considering how many times the bullpen squandered the lead. There were bright spots this season, however, including the young pitching core featuring Jon Gray, Tyler Anderson, Tyler Chatwood, Chad Bettis, and September call-ups Jeff Hoffman and German Marquez.
