wait, yes, he is.....but Volquez starting game one? He enters mid-season and gets to start first game? He has struggled on many of his starts. WTF, and he sends Homer to the bullpen? This is like a slap in the face to Homer, dudes been turning it on.

Red's go 3 and out.

Dusty Baker goes braindead in the playoffs....I'll never get over him pulling Russ Ortiz in game 6 of the 02 World series enroute to the Angels rally. If he left Ortiz in there, the Giants are the World Series champs.

Very pissed that Wood didn't get the nod over Cueto in Game 3... As for Game 1, Volquez easily has the best "stuff" on this starting staff, and he's been razor-sharp lately... Look at what he does to left-handed hitters, and the Philberts have plenty of 'em...

If(when?) the Reds lose because of inferior talent, can't wait to see the Dusty Baker bashers come out of the woodwork...

it didnt matter who he threw out there today... it might actually help throw a shitty pitcher out on roy then save your better pitchers for the rest of the phils rotation where you might have a chance... holy shit dusty is a genius

He has been the coach of some surprising teams but makes so many questionable calls that backfire...
