Baker really leaves me scratching my head sometimes. Brings in a LHRP, who does what he's supposed to do and then lets him face the heart of the order. They proceed to own him as all of the stats have shown. I have Cards ML--super square Sunday special, but this is just bad baseball.

I'm pretty sure Dusty knows more about baseball in his pinky, than everybody here combined, Higher..
He's a players coach.. He trusts his players..Comment -
They have the 2nd best record in baseball, tough to fault himComment -
He usually make good decisions micromanages a lot like Larussa.Comment -
77-51 with an overrated team...Comment -
Seems like leaving a player in to be eaten by righthanded hitting wolves is not player-productive managing. Just a curious decision in my degenerate gambling opinion.Comment -
everyone and their mothers have st. louis... including dusty.Comment -
Yeah... fukk statsOriginally posted by King Mayan
So one batter has a 44.4% chance of getting a hit vs my pitcher, but the next batter has a .000 batting average against my pitcher? Eh... fukk it, I trust you Marshall
Baker doesn't avoid stats because he hates stats, he avoids stats because he can't read

Not that much better
Have a ton of wins alreadyComment -
stupid thread.Comment -
I should have named it different. Obviously the Reds have already notched a lot of wins under their belt, so they wouldn't be that much better with a different manager. Agree with the stupid thread title.Comment -
Managers make their $$$ in the playoffs.
As Baker has proved every time he takes a team to the playoffs, he doesn't know what the fukk he is doing out there.Comment -
Here is when I say they fire Dusty, if they sit Frazier when Rolen and Votto are 100%.
Frazier is, I don't know, 100x better than Rolen. But Baker being as old school as they come, doesn't play young guys over veterans. Why? Ask him. I see this happening, and I will hope they lose if such a clumsy decision is made.Comment -
Last year in cincy for dusty....unless he win the WS .....and we know that not happeningComment -
Best home record ever for Reds in current park;
... The Reds went 50-31 at Great American Ball Park, the most wins there in a seasonComment
