It was nice of Baker to be that informative. He was under no obligation to do that, nor was it necessary.
I wish the media would stop asking about it because there isn't anything Baker can do about it.
It's a rough part of the season where Baker simply doesn't have the horses. It would be great to have the Pirates bullpen, but we don't even have a top-6 bullpen in the National League.
Who told him he could perform right ?Quote:

Some times the manager needs to know better. Don't pitch guys you want to get checked out by a doctor before you pitch guys you know are fully healthy.Quote:

On a side note, John Fay continues to be an enemy of the English language.
I know it's a blog post, but have some pride in your work.

Some of the decisions that he makes are mind boggling and our typically made by men who think they know better than anyone else. You can't tell me the rest of the coaching staff follow these moves without their own reservations.
