Nice run of success with him. He accomplished what he was hired to do and now it's time for someone fresh.

Now it’s time to get a manager who can make more sensible decisions, and hopefully, somehow be more successful than the one that really didn’t. The bar is both low and high at the same time.

I was such a huge Dusty fan because he is a bridge to the past. He has seen a ton of baseball. Another thing I liked about Dusty was he always stood up for his team. I am relieved he went out the way (kinda) he wanted to and wasn't forced out per say. Anyway, thank you Coach Baker!

I think Kapler is an interesting candidate worth a look. Solid experience but a little fresher style. Won a lot of games in SF with mostly a mediocre team.

That would be humorous in a sick twisted way. Dusty 2.0. It would be like Groundhog Day. |

Ed Wade got the job being Tal Smith’s boy. That is how it is in Baseball, the good old boy network. Look at Melvin after a disaster in San Diego he was picked up with his connection in San Fran. |

LOL.
"Why aren't you playing your centerfielder who is performing at an elite level but your catcher hitting .150 is sacrosanct?"
"Why you gotta do me like that, man? That's mean. That hurts."

Probably cost Diaz a shot at ROY. And anyone who has listened to Dusty’s comments during his tenure here will understand that he has a victim complex. |
