He let the starting pitcher hit, just to pull him anyway to start the next inning. He had Lorenzen in with 3 left handed hitters due up while Garret was ready to pitch. I only watched half of the game and noticed this much mismanagement in like 4 innings. He did show everyone that he knows how to do a double switch though. He’s easily, heavily contributed to 5 losses already this year. He left Jose Peralta in way too long and gave back 4 runs there. I have never ever seen so many crap moves in a single game. It was as if he bet money against the Reds or he was high on drugs. The dude is there because of his family and is way out of his league. If this guy has a 3 year deal, there is no hope regardless of players. He has been the worst coach I’ve ever seen. I don’t know how a guy can go from this bad to just mediocre. Management needs to set some guidelines or bring someone in to coach as this guy gets the credit or something. This Nepotism is killing that cities teams.

Baker did some stupid things I couldn't stand it but at least Reds won.  I am willing to give Bell the entire year for him to make better decisions but you do NOT take out the hot player.  You do NOT bat Votto first.
