Dusty Quote of the Day
"Home runs are fine, but I'd rather have RBIs and sac flies or ground balls to 2nd with the infield back."

Yep, just watched that too and figured a thread would be starting quickly.

The 'ground balls to 2nd with the infield back' part really scratched me where I itch.

Those are way better than run producing non-outs.

I think you meant they are better than non run producing outs.

No, he was pointing out the absurdity of the comment. A home-run is a non-out run producer unlike the other scenarios that Dusty actually prefers.

If the Reds win, Dusty can say whatever he wants. I am glad I live in Atlanta though, since I won't have to listen to him saying crazy things.

Actually, I didn't. I was comparing sac flies and grounders to 2nd with hitting home runs (run producing non-out).

You won't have to listen but you'll get the pleasure of reading them on here.

Yes, but Dusty said he prefers sac flies and grounders to second with the infield back over home runs. I know he doesn't actually think that, I wish he would just take a second to think before he speaks sometimes.

Re: Dusty Quote of the Day
There's Dusty's offense philosophy in a nutshell. It's now how many runs you score, it's how many outs you can make in the process.

Re: Dusty Quote of the Day
The thing is, I actually really like Dusty. He's got a very likeable personality, and I appreciate the fact that he'll actually speak his mind on the players and other topics that past managers wouldn't touch with a ten foot clown pole.

Problem is, when he does speak his mind he inevitably says things that leave me either or .

Re: Dusty Quote of the Day
Adam Dunn drove one in with a groundball to second today with nobody out. In that situation, I'll take that over a strikeout, every day of the week.
