You could do a lot worse than Dusty Baker, but he has yet to prove he can manage a playoff winner. While Matheny had issues with the bullpen he has issues with starters, rides them too hard in the regular season and then they are gassed when it matters most. [Reply]

Good thing because Mo has already said that no matter what happens, Shildt is the manager for the rest of the season. Mo and Dewitt to evaluate him and other managerial options in the off season before deciding on the next manager.

We picked Matheny over him. That was the original unforgivable sin. [Reply]

He would be crucified if he hired Baker. Of course as a wretched baby bear fan you would hope they would make this mistake, but I can't imagine a scenario that Baker becomes their best option. [Reply]
That backwards piece of mouth-breathing shit has no business on a major league bench. He's an enabler and an idiot. He's a more charismatic, somehow less intelligent version of Mike Matheny.
I will absolutely be done with this team if they hire Dusty Baker.
My hope is that Shildt runs with the job. I really think he could be a good one. [Reply]
