Maybe his King Midas of a pitching coach should fix the resident closers for him so they can hold a lead. Maybe the Stromfather should advise Dusty on which reliever to use in various situations. Or maybe he has been doing so, and that's why we've seen what we've seen. |

I'm not a fan of Dusty, but I don't get this zeal to push him out the door so Ausmus can be the manager. WTH has Ausmus done I'm not a fan of Dusty but he's the current manager so I'm not gonna manufacture ridiculous reasons to criticize him. I don't like the way he used Yimi on Sunday but most of the things some people here whine about is crap coated crap with a crap filled center. If someone like Bob Melvin was available, I'd go there. Brad would be a sideways move at best. Bruce Bochy would be my choice, if the Padres don’t hire him first. |

What has Dusty done besides screw over every pitching staff he's ever had and wasted good talent on teams he's managed? He has had many chances to get to a WS and has always failed. Ausmus has never had the chance so I'd rather go with him. I'm not saying Ausmus is necessarily the best choice to replace Dusty, but, if I have to choose between him and Dusty, I'll take Ausmus all day long. |

No,maybe not. But it would be for all the moves that any other manager with a pulse would not have made. Maybe his King Midas of a pitching coach should fix the resident closers for him so they can hold a lead. You never give up........you keep showing how little you know about what makes a good pitching coach. LOL |

What has Ausmus done to convince people he’s a great manager? If you’re going to aim better, aim for the sky. |

I blamed him.......and did so appropriately......for allowing the runners that were on base before the homer was hit. The error prior to the three run homer would have ended the inning so if the homer was hit, it would have been to start the next inning allowing one run to score instead of three. |

abregmanfan's feelings must really be hurt this time Maybe not so much. abregmanfan doesn't like the way some members of this forum throw nasty insults at Dusty. I don't either. And we both agree that while Dusty is the manager, we should support him. But looking at a possible upgrade after his contract is up is a different thing. |

I think he's upset at me for calling Dusty a blockhead. But I couldn't come up with a nicer word for someone who brought in Yimi in Game 3 and was probably gonna do it again the next game
Which he did |

Which he did Instead of a nicer word, you might have chosen a nicer way. Describing his use of Yimi in Game 3 as a blockhead decision is far less of an insult than calling Dusty a blockhead. The former is an indictment of single action, fair game. That latter is an indictment of him as person and his overall quality as a manager, that's more harsh. Or maybe the reason we haven't heard from him much lately is because real-life is placing a lot of demands on his time and patience. I won't repeat the details but in a recent PM he sounded busier than a one-armed paper-hanger. For what it's worth, I didn't trust Yimi before this series even started and said so at the time. I won't hesitate to say bringing him into that situation isn't something I wanted to see. But I'm not gonna go all corch about it and personally insult the man for a bad choice. |

If we win it all I want him to retire a champion, imo he deserves it as much as anyone I can think of. Let's root on the team while we are playing, and call for his head if eliminated. |

Dusty and LaRussa are figureheads. Let's be honest. At least Dusty is a nice one...LaRussa is just a grumpy old drunk.
Win a WS and let Dusty ride off into the sunset.

There's plenty of what I have heard and seen in the past 30 years to say otherwise, so in this case we'll just have to agree to disagree. |

Winning 17 in a row in September, and nabbing a playoff spot after having a 0.1% chance of making it on Labor Day just ai'nt worth what it used to be.  |
