Folks, it's just a baseball game. Many of you are acting like this is the end of the world. There are far more serious things in life to worry about than whether Dusty Baker manages a ball club.

Since you dislike them, I feel much better about them panning out.
We'll leave it at that.
I plan on worrying about them later
It'll certainly give folks a handy excuse when they flop. Though I'm guessing Cueto's headed to the pen, where he'll be safe from Dusty.

Who were Dusty's pitching coaches in Chicago and SF?
Just out of curiosity....this could be important information
He most likely had less to do with Prior and Wood's arm problems than it's percieved, but it's not percieved how hard he worked them.
too...much...information...
By the way, I like to go commando.

I may be mistaken but wasn't our very own Dick Pole a pitching coach with SF in the 90's and a bench coach with Dusty's Cubs?Who were Dusty's pitching coaches in Chicago and SF?
Just out of curiosity....this could be important information
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
I think you may be right....

Pole named pitching coach
Veteran big-league pitching coach Dick Pole will take charge of the Reds' hurlers next season. Pole, 56, has ample experience in the role, previously serving as pitching coach for the Cubs (1989-91), Giants (1993-97), Angels (1999), Indians (2000-01) and Expos (2002). Pole was Dusty Baker's bench coach in Chicago the last four seasons.
Some people play baseball. Baseball plays Jay Bruce.

She's a model and mostly now does work for the UFC ... former ring girl, now hosts UFC All Access when it airs. She was in Maxim awhile back at some point too.
I have no idea if she knows what baseball is, but if she does she'd probably say no to Dusty Baker too.

Or more likely lose with old guys instead of young.
Go Gators!
I gave up seriously caring about this team a couple of seasons ago. They're fun, but they're a diversion, and becoming moreso with each passing season.
The talk on this board is way more interesting than the team itself. If Dusty "wrecks" the team it's not like it will be anything we haven't seen--it'll just smell a little different.
