    People who know these things claim it’s up to Dusty as of a couple weeks ago. Be afraid.

    Dana Brown is more likely to be gone than Dusty. This is baseball version of Bill O'Brien... he's going to win every power struggle.

    It sucks that my hope that Dusty is gone is inversely proportional to their results.

    At least I have something to be happy about regardless

    Yeah they won !!!

    Yeah Dusty isn't coming back because they lost.

    I will be perfectly content being unhappy with Dusty for another year if we win a world series. I will still b**** and moan about him, but with a content feeling.

    Lets fire Art Howe
    Lets fire Jimy Williams
    Lets fire Phil Garner
    Lets fire Bo Porter (ok I agree with this one)
    Lets fire Dusty Baker

    Lets just call it what it is and bring back AJ Hinch

    Reminder... Cesar Salazar had 19 plate appearances across his 2.5 months in the bigs.

    He’s got a lot more faith in Meyers and Singleton then I do. They are poor hitters too often.

    I have a feeling he may have tweaked his back again. The eye test shows his quality of at-bats has fallen since returning to MMP, and back issues tend to linger. Plus, he is definitely the kind of player who likes to hide his injuries.

    So the Dusty strategy to play to figure things out is counterproductive?

    Not shown- Maldonado- better pitchers. Maldonado- higher ERA. Take that for data.

    I think he's back no matter what. Which sucks, he really takes the fun out of it for me.
