LOVERRO: Analytics won’t capture Baker’s impact on Nationals
Washington Nationals manager Dusty Baker and starting pitcher Max Scherzer share a laugh during baseball batting practice at Nationals Park, Thursday, Oct. 6, 2016, in Washington. The Nationals host the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 of the National League ...Dusty Baker was always quotable during his time managing the Washington Nationals, always had something interesting to say.
One quote, though, in particular, has stuck with me since his team lost in five games to the Chicago Cubs in the 2017 National League Division Series — and, subsequently, Baker, a three-time NL Manager of the Year, being let go as skipper after his contract was not renewed.
