    Dusty Baker is going to be the manager for the Nationals...



    This guy is the biggest dummy ever.

    What are they thinking??

    He isn't that bad man. 3x times manager of the year. I bet he takes them to the playoffs.

    He is awful.

    And he's too old now.

    Good luck explaining analytics to him. He's a dinosaur.

    Makes sense that the nationals would go with a black head coach when our president is black

    I really think its an overreaction to a hire of a manager with no experience.

    Well I've always thought of Dusty as a manager that can get you in the playoffs, but (actually the same as Collins) lets his relationship to the players get in his way in the playoffs. Now the Nats, after this season might be happy with that. I still think this is a short sighted signing.

    A lot of fishing in lakes and rivers with barely any water in the Sacramento area. Hardly fair.

    This is the most odd hire I could imagine.
    I remember looking at the list of possible candidates and I saw Baker's name and just thought that was for the blackey requirement and would never be seriously looked at.
    Guy has to be pushing 70.

    The worst thing about this is we have to look at that god damn toothpick in his mouth again. For 20 years I've been rooting for him to swallow one or at least puncture his horse gums.

    New Nats manager Dusty Baker said that he loves to watch Bryce Harper play, but the veteran baseball man added that he won't be intimated by his star.

    "This guy can play. He can really play," Baker said of Harper. "I love watching him play."

    Then the new manager added, "I'm not really intimidated or anything by stars, because I was a star."

    Another ignorant thread about a manager or coach sucking. Dusty with the 2nd best record in all of baseball.

    Called back class. Dusty was the best manager that cincy had since sparky. But he got ran out of town and I wish him well. He was to eclectic for the nati. P.S. this is lakerboy's thread. You guys don't mind pounding him when he loses. Give him some credit when he is RIGHT!

    Last coach made the playoffs easily. Lets see what dusty baker does in playoffs. When you have the biggest payroll in division it's embarrassing not to make the playoffs.
