That explains his love affair with Brooks Raley.
Dusty had a reputation as a guy who just ran into some bad luck. I sort of believed that. Then I watched him manage.

What was the purpose of having Taylor start that inning?
There wasn’t a string of lefties.

This team simply cannot win with Dusty Baker. No manager puts his team in a position to lose more. It’s his art form.

What was the purpose of pitching to Perez on Monday in the eighth inning? We will never know.
Nicely done, Carlos. Keep it going, Yordan.
He’s a liability in close and late inning situations, and that’s a big problem when you have the talent the Astros have.
Fuck.
Gave it a ride

SON OF A BITCH!
Diaz is the last chance. A string of guys cannot hit this cheese.
He’s telling Staumont not to groove a fastball. The next three guys are toast.
And another caught looking
Well, that’s that. The lead was fun for the…well, less than a half inning
This team is hopeless. And great job, Dusty. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
Lopez has been a pest in this series.
And worse part is, in the unlikely event we were in a position to salvage the finale, Graveman will be unavailable.
Maybe he’s an objectively bad manager. Maybe he’s the wrong fit for these players. Maybe he angered a Greek god and suffers their wrath in any close situation. Maybe it’s a combination of all of them.
Whatever the cause, I don’t want him managing this team.
