"I said to [coach] Chris Speier, 'I hope he doesn't get the bunt down so he can hit a game-winning home run.'"
--Dusty Baker, on Edwin Encarnacion's game-winning home-run last week, creating questions over why he called for a bunt in the first place.
He called the bunt because that's what he does. He bunts. And he sticks with the vets. And he doesn't believe in pitch counts or getting on base or any of that nonsense. He believes in the bunt, the "smart" play that creates openings and holes and gets the other team thinking. He hasn't had a thought in his head since 1979 and he is the goddamn worst.

what you should be asking yourself is how Dusty new he would hit a homerun? Dis guy is some kind of smart...
I gotta go wid Smiff here. To succeed in spite of a flawed plan is just lucky, but to hope and expect the plan to go awry in a way that leads to something better, that's seeing the game within the game within the game, that's all-seeing eyeball-in-the-middle-of-the-forehead stuff.
That's Bushian.
