They're doomed. Why do people keep hiring this guy?

He is a winner.
How many times have the Reds been worth a shit in the last 20 years when Baker was not the manager? The Reds should have kept him.
I know he has never won a World Series, but I don't know of any manager available who has.

He was the beneficiary of the best roster the Reds have had in quite a while. And he still couldn't win a playoff series.
He had outstanding rosters with the Cubs and Giants too. Hence, all the wins. Worth mentioning--a whole bunch of losses too, not far above .500.
He is out of touch with how to win in today's game. I stand by what I said--they are doomed. Not doomed to sukking. They have too much talent to be bad. Just doomed to never getting over the hump.

Then who should they have hired?
I say Baker was the best option out there.

That probably had a lot to do with it. There probably aren't a lot of great options. Don't know what weird thing happened with Bud Black.

They really wanted Brian Price, but he wasn't available. Hopefully, he will be soon.
