Reds vs. Giants 10/11/12: NLDS Game 5

[redsrolen]

I would love to see him on the bench next year - but I would not trust Dusty to use only part time

I have a very distant hope that he misses BB & would manage but I give that a 1 % chance....

Anyone know the status of Baker's contract talks?

The guy just had a stroke. He needs to retire. And we need to make/let him retire.

[RedsBrick]

On the Radio last weekend Tracy Jones said his sources said Dusty had to win WS or he wasnt going to be brought back. Whatever that's worth.

I'm ready for a change....but I would rather win the series. But since that looks like a long shot...I'm ready for a change.

He claims he is fine and wants to manage next season

He is wrong, he will always be at increased risk for another clot for the rest of his life. I would assume he is on blood thinners now and will be for the rest of his life as well.

I'd honestly take Spier as manager over Dusty. I like Dusty, but he doesn't make good decisions when it counts.

Not pulling Latos for Lecure today probably cost us the game.

I'd take Spier over him too. And yeah, one of Dusty's biggest flaws is staying with a pitcher too long.

I like him and hope he's back. I'm sure I'm in the minority.

[LexRedsFan]

Dusty does a great job from April-Sept. He manages a clubhouse better than anyone I've ever seen.

But in October, nope.

I'm sure Cubs fans and Giants fans would agree with that.

[ukwazoo]

Valdez is money in CF

[Krawhitham]

here we go top of the order

[RedsBrick]

I like him and hope he's back. I'm sure I'm in the minority.

I like him fine but I agree with jhiller, I just think he makes poor decisions.

[LexRedsFan]

3 outs left to save ourselves from the biggest choke in Reds history. Yeah right, we all know what's going to happen.

[Kcbuckeye22]

Wish we had that Cardinals luck

I'm sick of cardinals luck.

[jhiller21]

If BP and Cozart get on, will Votto stop choaking up and let it rip?

[DocRed]

I'd take Spier over him too. And yeah, one of Dusty's biggest flaws is staying with a pitcher too long.

No thanks, I would get rid of Jacoby too. I wouldn't mind seeing Bryan Price promoted. I'm sure Walt has been on the phone with Tony too...

His players had ample opportunities to come through. How's that his fault when they fail? And Bart man
