I'm fine with bringing him back. He did a great job this season.

As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.
No. He's Marvin Lewis. Took us from pathetic to respectable, too limited to take us any further.
Torn on this one. I don't know if we win the last 2 division titles if he's not the manager, but I'm not sure he takes us to the World Series as manager either.I vote maybe.

My top choice to manage the Reds, is still in the playoffs managing the Nats and is not going anywhere (wanted Davey instead of Dusty). Francona, my next choice was snatched up by the Tribe.
I've got a feeling that if Dusty does continue to manage, it will be in Chavez Ravine. My biggest fear is he will be replaced by Bobby Valentine TLR is next scariest, but not nearly as bad - wouldn't put it past Walt to lure him out of retirement though.

According to Bob Nightengale the baseball writer for USA Today Walt wants Dusty back and will meet with him in the morning:

Walt Jocketty said he wants to bring #Reds manager Dusty Baker back, and will sit down with him in morning . #Reds
I want no part of Dusty returning to this team next year.
I'll have him back in a heartbeat.
2009 Attendance Record: 3-5 2010 Attendance Record: 2-9 2015 Attendance Record: 2-0
2011 Attendance Record: 3-4 2012 Attendance Record: 3-4
2013 Attendance Record: 5-2 2014 Attendance Record: 3-1
I want to fire the whole team right now but I know that's not a good idea. I'll answer the question posed some other time.
Absurdly bad article for a guy who is getting paid to write it.
Baker made hundreds of decisions this series and this guy focuses on three of them. Anyone can do that for any series. Baker handled an extremely difficult situation of losing his ace for the series perfectly, and was an at bat away fom winning the series.

I don't think Dusty managed a poor series. I rip him when necessary. His hands were tied this series. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. He's not perfect. But he's better than most. I'm frustrated. I'm devastated. I'm heartbroken. But I have no problem with Dusty returning.
