My all time favorite Dusty moment was when they got called for batting out of order and Dusty said he told the umpire that he was doing a flip flop and Dusty said he "Gave him the sign from the dugout". Now I know what sign he was talking about, but its not an official sign or anywhere close to it. Every other time I have seen that move done by manager, they walk to the umpire and tell the umpire, so they umpire can now write it down of who is batting in whos place. Dusty chose to do all this from the comfort of his chair in the dug out. I think one thing we can all agree about the managers job, it is not a physically taxing role! and the few times you do need to get up and do something, well get up. Dusty is about a hands off of a manager as one can get...., I actually want to see him manage the Nationals. They have tons of talent and his dont do much approach is the version we want to see. So, Dude, lets do it. Do they give him a 1 year deal?? lol |

Does Dusty have another little kid that he can hide behind during his press conferences? |

Mike Rizzo is a fantastic talent evaluator but he needs someone to help him with the business part of his job. The fuck you low-ball Bud Black like that. |

I'll fully admit I was all on board when Dusty was hired, but his strategic maneuverings quickly changed my opinion. |

I know he is trying to be a player's manager, but Dusty needs to understand that when he says stuff like this, its going to be taken wrong. http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/14323216/dusty-baker-washington-nationals-defends-aroldis-chapman-backs-mlb-domestic-violence-policy "Dusty Baker defends Aroldis Chapman, backs MLB domestic violence policy" Nationals manager Dusty Baker weighed in Tuesday on an alleged domestic violence incident involving Aroldis Chapman, saying that he supports baseball's domestic violence policy but also questioning whether "reports" about the Reds closer are true. Chapman's girlfriend told police that the pitcher "pushed" and "choked" her during an altercation on Oct. 30, according to police reports obtained by ESPN. "I don't believe reports," Baker said Tuesday from baseball's winter meetings in Nashville, Tennessee. "Who knows why? I'm not one to judge on how the whole thing happened. ... I mean, who's to say the allegations are true. And who's to say what you would have done or what caused the problem." Baker, who managed Chapman for four seasons in Cincinnati, said that he did not read any information about the incident but acknowledged that he heard about it from his son. When asked what he knew about Chapman, Baker said he "had nothing but love for the young man." "Oh, he's a heck of a guy," Baker said Tuesday from baseball's winter meetings in Nashville, Tennessee. "I mean, a heck of a guy. I'll go on record and say I wouldn't mind having Chapman. He is a tremendous young man with a great family, mom and dad, and what he went through to get here and what his family had to go through to get here -- I was with him through the whole process." Dusty Baker was Aroldis Chapman's manager with the Reds for four seasons from 2010 to 2013. Greg Fiume/Getty Images Baker, who is entering his first season as Washington's manager, also touched on baseball's domestic violence policy. "I think it's a great thing," Baker said. "I mean, I got a buddy at home that's being abused by his wife. So I think this policy needs to go further than the player. I think the policy should go to whoever's involved. Sometimes abusers don't always have pants on." Baker, 66, attempted to clarify his comments in a separate interview later Tuesday with ESPN's Pedro Gomez, reiterating that he hasn't seen the police report of the incident and that he does not condone domestic violence. "I did an interview earlier and apparently I'm in hot water for what I said," Baker told Gomez. "What I should have said, and what I was trying to say, is that 'Hey man, I don't condone violence at all.' "Because, I mean, I wasn't raised like that. I don't know anybody else that should've been raised like that. The thing that I really, really want to tell everybody is that you have to wait to see what happens. And, I'm not one to judge prematurely. But there's no way that I condone domestic violence. I'm one of the guys that is most against it. I haven't seen the police report. I haven't seen anything." Baker also discussed the Chapman incident in an interview with ESPN's Marly Rivera. "All I can say is that I hope [the domestic violence incident involving Chapman] didn't happen," he said. "I hope it didn't happen. I don't condone that in my house." No arrests were made during the police investigation of Chapman "due to conflicting information and lack of cooperation from all parties involved." According to the report, the case was brought to Assistant State Attorney Marcie Zaccor, who decided there wasn't enough evidence to charge Chapman with simple battery. However, according to a spokesperson from the Broward State Attorney's office, that decision was based on a preliminary, informal phone conversation. The State Attorney's office has since requested reports from the Davie Police Department so it can review the matter further. A reported trade of Chapman to the Dodgers is currently in limbo. Sources told ESPN's Mark Saxon that the Dodgers continue to work on other bullpen options and the Chapman deal is "certainly not trending" toward completion. |
