Just last week, Dusty Baker, the Reds head coach and manager was fired. Despite the Reds' regular season success, they could not get into the post season. This wasn't the first time with Dusty Baker that this happened. It seems like this is his norm. Because of this, the Reds released him. I strongly agree with the Reds' decision.
Dusty Baker is not worthy of being the manager of a professional baseball team. Maybe a janitor, but definitately not the manager/coach. He doesn't make logical decisions, which leads to losses. He keeps pitchers in for way too long, allowing the other team to rack up runs. He drops down players that are some of the best athletes on the team, he waits until the end of the season to call up the fastest player in all of baseball, etc. He has no "baseball" sense. The Reds finally came to their senses.
In an article publshed by ESPN it states, " Baker said he felt "very helpless" as the offense went into a slump and the rotation fell apart." Read that again. That's just not something a coach should say. That's not something a manager should say. That's giving up on your team. If you're just going to quit, you might as well fire yourself because you're not worth anything. Instead of saying he's very helpless, he should say, "We're not in the best situation, but I am working with the players to get out of it." But, nope. Dusty just says there's not hope.
I completely agree with the Reds' decision to fire Dusty Baker. He's not manager-worthy. Thank you, Reds, for coming to your senses.
I agree with you that he should've been dropped from the Red's.
