Game 58 Thread 3: This Shouldn't Have Been Necessary, Dusty

After probably the worst managerial move of the season, it's 2-2 in the middle of the 11th.  Let's hope this one ends quickly.

I was planning on calling in sick tomorrow to go to the game anyway, but maybe now I can just say that I stayed for the whole game.

I'm afraid Masset is much too badass to let this one end in the 11th.

He’s probably pissed that he could have ended it in the 9th.

On decision to bring back Francisco Cordero: "I conferred with Dick Pole and Coco," Baker said. "He is the closer. It’s like closing both games of a doubleheader. It didn’t work out."

I think we can all agree with Dusty here...
"The worst part of the night was that Aaron didn’t get the win," said Baker.

by Gray on Jun 11, 2009 9:54 AM EDT up reply actions  

And it's the "It didn't work out." that really bugs me.

He seems to have no knowledge, first of all, that Cordero is notoriously bad on his 3rd straight day of pitching, which he was last night. He’d also pitched in 5 of the previous 6 days. So, using Dusty’s analogy, when Cordero came out after the rain delay, he was pitching in his 4th game in 3 days and his 7th game in 6 days.

Anybody surprised that “it didn’t work out?”

I don't even care about the results.

It was a stupid decision regardless of whether it actually worked out, because chances were very good that the Nationals would score at least one run—and they had a pretty good chance at two or more.

Don’t forget that he had already walked the first batter he faced and thrown a couple of balls to the second batter. Not only had he shown that wasn’t incredibly sharp, but he had handicapped whoever would pitch the remainder of the inning.

Masset was the clear choice here.

Let me write out a formal proof for you.

by Gray on Jun 11, 2009 9:46 AM EDT up reply actions  

Hal's version of the quote adds some nice repitition:
Asked why Cordero returned, manager Dusty Baker said, "He’s our closer and it is similar to a closer finishing both ends of a doubleheader. No difference. He said he felt great. Dick Pole (pitching coach) and I conferred and we talked to Cordero. I mean, he is the closer. It just didn’t work."

I somehow placed this conference in the wrong post,,,belongs here

 Conference with Dick

Dusty: Sheeit this rain is looking like its about stopping, somebody go wake up Dick"
Dick" (yawn) Did they call the game Skip?"
Dusty" (to the camera) LaRussa gets Duncan,,what’d I do to deserve this?…No Dick, we’re going to start again so who do you want in there..I think Coco’s probably done"
Dick" Lets see, I’d use Lincoln but we used him a lot recently.."
Dusty" Are you shitting me…what about Masset?"
Dick" This late at night it might be a good time to use Jannish and save the pen"
Coco" Hey, Deeek…blow me…I’m going back out"
Dick"Huh…if you say so"
Dusty"I’m going to kill Jerry Narron someday…"
