Apparently, the contract was never finalized and Bud was offended by the Nats "low-ball" offer. So, they moved on to Baker.

So they were being cheap after hiring a shitty manager in Williams that held them back for 2 years? That's cute

I think it was the length of the contract

 

[navamind]

LOL.











Why bother with these retreads?

 

[Rock Strongo]

another fresh face in management.

It's official

I'm not seeing it as official yet.

If this happens, Dusty will be a figurehead and Bryce Harper will run that team.

Fans here in DC complained constantly about how 'by the book' Matt Williams was, and now they're getting an even more stubborn manager in Dusty.

Advanced statistics be damned. The Nats will bat R, L, R, L, R no matter who's in their line up, their set up man won't throw a single ball outside of the 8th, their closer won't throw a ball outside the 9th, and if Bryce is on a 20 game hitting streak hitting .400, totally doesn't matter. He'll sit when Dusty says it's time for a 'day off.'

Always great to see a contender make an awful decision

 

[calsnowskier]

Damn.

That means Black is still available for the dog job, now. I was SOOO hoping Dusty would end up in LA.

 

[moxie]

Dusty. Good ol' Dusty.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Black would be a good fit for the Dodgers....and I hear he's on the short list for the Braves job if & when Fredi G. gets the ax.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

oh...and by the way....

Spoiler

Fuck the gNats!!

May be only thing Braves fans and Mets fans can agree on!

Nothing would have been funnier then to watch Dusty Baker riding Kershaw's arm like Seabisquit only to force said arm to reconnect to Clayton's shoulder with duct tape, paper clips, and some chewed up bubble gum.

 

[Bolts]

Seeing another former Padres manager going to a team inside the division is the last thing I wanna see, damn it Nats.

 

[Erie Warrior]

Dusty Baker is probably one of the shittiest managers I have ever seen. The Nats seriously couldn't find anyone else? What's Frank Robinson up to these days?
