He has removed starting pitchers who were in control of games for relievers who have been struggling, one reason the Brewers are about to set a record for going the longest without a complete game. He remains loyal to players who constantly let him down, which may or may not be considered a bad trait. But that tendency to give players the benefit of the doubt also has led to a gradual breakdown of team rules. Sometimes that gets taken advantage of.
