Who here besides me thinks Dusty Baker is a terrible manager!!!

rogerdodger · Jul 1, 2004

He always make a move that backfires!!!

blueedwards · Jul 1, 2004

i agree...he is absolutely brutal. he is to blame for the cubs losing game 6 of the 2003 nlcs...not that dorky bartman guy.

it boggles the mind why he is always listed as one of the best in the game. i watch him "manage" games all the time and he makes mistakes that a rookie manager wouldn't make.

Sammy just made him look like a genius.

wil.

long time giants fan here. we used to call him doofus baker. the guys is overated. thank god he is gone from SF. alou is better.

FairWarning · Jul 1, 2004

He is, but the players love him and play their asses off for him. Can't say that about too many managers.

Journeyman · Jul 1, 2004

Well if he is so bad, he sure has a knack for getting the most of his teams...can't say he's the best strategist but he is a winner....and he was a pretty solid player too.

Horrible stategist, probably ok Motivator

i just want to get in this thread because red007 and red eye posted, to make it a 3red thread.

but really, seems like baker used to take a lot of heat for riding his horses too long, lately seems like he has a quick hook. carey and stone were shining his knob about the decision to pull prior on thursday, but you gotta think that prior with under 100pitch count is better than anything you're gonna bring outa the pen in the 7th.

I would agree he is not great, but as some point you have to consider he wins every where he goes.

Blotto · Sep 28, 2010

3-time, 3-time, 3-time manager that brings his NL squad to the playoffs... Yeah, his on-field talents lack, but his clubhouse skills seem to be pretty good...

ChrisParadise · Sep 29, 2010

agree with Blotto. exactly how i see Dusty. good "leader"

VIEJODINOSAUR · Sep 29, 2010

Has led 3 teams to the playoffs....but really isn't in the top tier of managers....

gamerecognizegame · Sep 29, 2010

Giants fan here also. Dusty is terrible. His teams win despite him not because of him.

With the new Reds ownership just about any manager could win. Dusty sure isnt that good,he keeps using Cordero. If he uses Cordero in the playoffs he should be fired.
