He felt it was reasonable to bring in Justin Dueschbag instead of his star closer when his team led by 2 in the ninth inning. Street, the defending AL rookie of the year, and probably the second best closer in the AL, is completely healthy and rested. This is simply the latest in a long line of boneheaded decisions that have kept this team from going further than the first round of the playoffs.

[Winston Smith]

Street was rested, and you have a chance to take the series after getting throttled yesterday. No brainer.

Macha, Showalter, Dusty Baker...there's a pretty good list of piss poor managers

[moses millsap]

Dusty is the worst.

[bigboydan]

i don't know if he's the dumbest manager out there razz. i will say that Macha went out of his way to try and lose that game though by bringing him in there.

[Illusion]

False, Dusty Baker is the worst.

[onlooker]

Fact.

Because he should of brought the start closer in and won the game. Why risk losing it with Duschbager out there?

Dusty is pretty bad himself.

[bigboydan]

i just found out the reason why Street wasn't in there to close today. he had a strained muscle in his chest is why didn't close the game.
