Reds at Cubs - Game 4

• SportsAndLady

  

  Also..does anyone have a link to Dusty being the losingest manager in playoff history? haha

  Wouldn't have even needed a full 2 innings. Pitch him against Barney, then in the 9th. Likely he would've only faced 4 batters.

  Oh I have.
  
  Some of his responses:
  

  I guess you're right... Losing your ace pitcher eight pitches into the division series had nothing to do with losing to the Giants. It was all Dusty's fault. The playoffs are a crapshoot. Any team can get hot or cold. I can't believe Jocketty hasn't called all these Facebook managers because it seems like he has endless options to replace Dusty.

  I forgot that Dusty pitched all nine innings of games six and seven in the 2002 World Series. The Giant's players were so pissed that Dusty blew the World Series for them...

  I get paid to coach. What I do know from first hand experience is that in a game situation you have to make tough decisions, sometimes they work sometimes they don't. Another thing that I know is that you have to be doing something right to win 1600+ games as a manager and division titles with three different teams. In the 12 years prior to Dusty taking over there were no playoff appearances(barring the '99 one game playoff with the Mets) and the Reds winning percentage was .477. In the 5+ seasons that Dusty has been here they have a .522 winning percentage and two division titles. You have to get there to have a chance. Dusty has given them that. How do you complain when they have the second best record in baseball??

  So it's on the players when they win but it's on Dusty when they lose? That makes sense.

  Yeah historically [he has choked]. You can make an argument against anything that hasn't happened yet until it does happen. You are talking out of both sides of your mouth... You can't give the players all the credit for winning and turn around and not hold them accountable when they lose in the playoffs. That is just asinine.

  Tell your FFFBF that maybe if Dusty didn't use the pitcher who got rocked to blow game 6 in 2002 in the 4 previous games then maybe, just maybe
  
  Or if a fan kinda interferes and pisses off an Alou and then an error follows....maybe he should go out there...get their heads straight and finish
  
  Or maybe recommend the worst plate approaches in MLB history against Roy Halladay
  
  Or maybe he can't use his dumb fuck arguments about Dusty not being the pitcher and then say losing Cueto was the only factor last year....maybe the Reds had a 2-0 lead without Cueto ON the road.
  
  Fuck that guy too.

  I was throwing everything I got at him..he's obviously stubborn, because he kept responding. He must be John Fay's fuckbuddy.

  Marty's radio call had the game over as soon as the pitch was throw. He yelled "a high drive...."...."off the wall."
