Comment by Y-City Jim Continuing to start Corey Patterson is why Dusty Baker will never manage again once I'm through with him.

Continuing to start Corey Patterson is why Dusty Baker will never manage again once I’m through with him.

The announcers are great at AA, "Crimony, if you don't know your signs by now...this isn't little league, throw the ball." They said of the opposing team. Hilarious.

Ray Knight is the only hitting coach that I can think of in recent memory that was any worse.

Drew Stubbs still doing well at AA so there is some hope for next year but I really honestly don't think this team will go anywhere so long as Crusty is at the helm.

Perhaps the players should have that team meeting and have a vote of no confidence in Dusty Baker.

If they get healthy they should play Hairston, Keppinger, Bruce, Dunn, Votto, Phillips, Encarnacion, and Ross every game for the rest of the season. Maybe they would at least be somewhat enjoyable to watch.

Have you ever met someone who can not admit when they are wrong? I think that is Dusty Baker, even though it's obvious to everyone else they just won't admit it even to themselves.

Crappy Outterson. You will never win with those poor decisions and that is why this team has a losing attitude.

I know he is a good handling of pitchers but Ross had that reputation as well. There are only a couple of catchers with any kind of playing time that are hitting worse than Bako and they play for clubs whose offense can hide them.
