Cincinnati Reds schedule: Credit to manager David Bell

At winnin’ time(s) Monday, David Bell made Nick Castellanos as useful as a hood ornament. He blew that one, but overall, Bell’s performance has helped the Reds more often than not in this turbulent summer.

I like the manager a lot. I think he’s classy and I think some of the team’s never-say-uncle attitude owes to his outwardly chill personality. He has let the players play without stress, he has never assessed blame, he has been upbeat to an occasionally ridiculous extent.

Managers who get the most from their players are generally managers who trust their players the most. With Castellanos in the clubhouse, Bell doesn’t have to be a forceful presence. He can work on setting a tone, which is the most important  thing any manager does.
