Meanwhile, I love Dusty just sitting there with his head up his a$$. He clearly can't manage in game and he is supposed to be so great with managing personalities, but he does nothing. We need someone like Pete Mackanin, who benched Ken Griffey Jr. for not running out a groundball. I don't think managers really mean a whole lot in baseball, but you have to have some control of your players. This is ridiculous, especially coming right after him whining about "only" making 72.5 million dollars to play a game. This isn't just a Brandon Phillips problem, IMO, this is a widespread problem across all sports. |
Dusty Baker is a horrible manager. He does not play percentages he goes strictly on gut and feel. Hoover pitching the other night is a perfect example. You bring in a guy who throws nearly all fastballs to face a guy who is statistically one on the best fastball hitters in baseball, especially with runners on base and abra cadabra grand slam. He's horrible in game. A great locker room guy but horrible in game.
