Has Dusty Baker lost his mind?
First, he batted Adam Dunn second in the order. That makes NO sense. He has 40+ home runs each of the last four years, but you are sending him up where the guys on base will consist of Norris Hopper and Paul Bako, if it is a really lucky night. Plus, the guy is a strikeout machine, and slow as Christmas.
Second, Baker left Bronson Arroyo in to rot and die on the mound. Who lets their pitcher get touched for 11 hits and a walk in one inning???!!! And 10 earned runs in 1 inning? This is a veteran pitcher who is already struggling. What is gained by humiliating him?
I wrote something similar last year in connection with a performance by Jon Garland (later matched, in a bad way, by Jason Jennings and Yovani Gallardo). It doesn't surprise me that Ozzie Guillen, Ned Yost and Phil Garner all make the list with Dusty, but it does surprise me that all three of these guys had substantial major league careers but expect the pitcher to take this kind of abuse.
Maybe it's just bullpen management and I'm overreacting.
BTW, Arroyo is just the 6th pitcher in the last 51 years to give up more than 10 runs in 1 inning or less.
