It’s hilarious these managers that make the post season are gone

Nats should have beat the Cubs and would have given the Dodgers trouble in the NLCS.

Dude. He's a terrible manager. Watch the games. "He won the east" congrats he beat the mets, Marlins, phillies and braves. Anyone with a pulse manages that team to an East title.

The enigma of Dusty. Great at what fans dont see (managing clubhouse), terrible at what they do see (game decisions)



If that is true it is very easy to hire a smart bench coach and do what he says.

The Reds made this exact same mistake. Complaining about losing first round of playoffs and haven’t sniffed .500 since. So apparently being terrible and out of it by July is better than having a series to play in October.

The way he used Scherzer in the NLDS completely justifies his firing. How do you take Scherzer out of the game when he was throwing a one hitter and was only at 87 pitches? And then he turns around and has him pitch out of the bullpen on two days rest. Dusty was the biggest reason why the Nationals lost that series.

I think Dusty is the most cursed manager of all-time.... every postseason it seems a star is injured or was injured prior to the playoffs

Dusty once said he didn't like guys who walk a lot because they clog up the basepaths. WTF?

He also had Werth batting 2nd in game 5, with Murphy and Rendon hitting 6th and 7th. So he had Werth up in the 9th instead of one of the other two. That's bad.
