At least... (Blue Jays Brawl!)

[Wilson A2000]

Dusty isn't getting into brawls with his players ala what happened in Toronto tonight.

[UMFan83]

Maybe he should for our comic relief

 

Fake edit: Do it with Z

I don't think there is any drama in the clubhouse.

The Blue Jays (66-57) sure are demonstrating how team chemistry can affect wins and losses.

They would be 86-37 if they got rid of all the bad apples.

Just getting ready for hockey, eh?

Looks like Dusty just got himself job for next season.

 

Toronto will have no choice but to fire Gibbons this offseason, and they

will need to bring in a laid back manager who players love.

 

In walks Dusty.

I would happily pay for the plane ticket from Chicago to Toronto.

I dunno if Dusty would take a gig north of the border. The seem to have difficulty attracting "high profile" managers there. Moreover, I can't see Riccardi hiring him.

True. I can't see any GM seeking years of poor fundemantal baseball

hiring Mr. Baker.

I think Baker is going to have a much more limited supply of offers than many may believe. Remember, it was only the Cubs who were after him last time. San Fran wanted him gone. The Mets were rumored but denied flatly any real interest, and after Valentine schooled him in the playoffs, they would have taken a ton of heat for that hiring (NY media thinks very little of Dusty Baker). Hendry bid against himself for Baker's service, sort of like he did with Alfonseca, Rusch and Perez.

Fair points all, particularly the comment re the NY media. I was living in the area (most of childhood was spent in NY, followed by some college and 3 years more recently), and I recall Francessa giving it to Mad Dog in a big way when Valentine ate Dusty's lunch in the 2000 playoffs.

 

EDIT: What Gibbons did was incredibly dumb, by the way.

One near physical confrontation is kind of alarming, but you could dismiss it given the circumstances. This 2nd one is a huge red flag.

It does point to the fact that this is how he deals with problems doesn't it?
