A look at Walt Weiss’s tenure as Rockies manager. Weiss resigned on Monday.

Nov. 7, 2012: The Rockies hire Weiss as manager. He replaces Jim Tracy, who resigned in October with one year left on his contract due in part to disputes with upper management. Weiss had spent the previous season as the coach at Regis Jesuit High School.

“It’s who I am, having lived in this city and played for this organization,” Weiss said upon taking over a team for which he had played and served as a special assistant. “It’s been part of my identity the last 20 years.”

April 1, 2013: In Weiss’ managerial debut, the Rockies lose to the Milwaukee Brewers 5-4, in 10 innings.

April 20, 2013: The Rockies beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 4-3, to win their eighth consecutive game, which would prove to be a season-high winning streak. The victory puts the Rockies nine games over .500 at 13-4. It’s the high water mark over .500 of Weiss’ tenure.

Sept. 29, 2013: A victory over the Dodgers in the season finale gives the Rockies a 74-88 record in Weiss’s first season, but the Rockies finish last in the National League West.

May 30, 2014: Weiss is ejected for the first time as Rockies manager in his 216th game. It comes while arguing one of the Rockies 15 strikeouts in a 5-2 loss to Cleveland.

Sept. 15, 2014: The Rockies lose to the Dodgers 11-3 to fall 32 games under .500 at 59-91, the low water mark record wise of Weiss’s tenure.

Sept. 28, 2014: A season ending 10-5 loss to the Dodgers drops the Rockies to 66-96, the worst mark of Weiss’ four-year stint as manager. It’s the second-worst mark in franchise history behind the 98-loss team of 2012.

July 28, 2015: In the middle of the Rockies third of four consecutive losing seasons under Weiss, the teary-eyed manager pulls franchise cornerstone Troy Tulowitzki out of a game in the ninth inning against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. He tells Tulowitzki he’s been traded to the Toronto Blue Jays. Tulowitzki had often heaped praise upon Weiss for the way he related to players.

Oct. 6, 2015: The Rockies announce they will bring Weiss back for his fourth season, though he does not get a contract extension. “I’m encouraged by some of pieces we have in place,” Weiss said at the time. “I feel good about where we are headed. We have some ground to cover, but I feel good about it.”

Feb. 29, 2016: Weiss begins his fourth spring training by refuting the notion raised by Tulowitzki in off-season comments that the Rockies聽trained at a “country club” at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick. “I think that’s the furthest thing from the truth,” Weiss said. “We have a nice place here and we’re proud of it, but our guys are mentally tough and they compete. I have no issue with our guys being soft or country-clubbish. Our guys are the opposite of that.”

Aug. 3, 2016: The Rockies beat the Dodgers to move to 54-53, three games back of the second National League wild-card spot. It marked the first time the Rockies had a winning record in August since 2010. Plagued by a struggling bullpen, Colorado soon falls out of the race.

Oct. 2, 2016. The Rockies lose the final game of the season to Milwaukee, 6-4, in extra innings. Weiss, in a story in The Denver Post, said he believes management has already made a decision on his future, hinting that he would not be brought back.

Oct. 3, 2016: Weiss announces he’s stepping down as Rockies manager.
