Astros director Baker “I can’t keep winning all year long”
Two managers have already been dismissed in the 2022 Major League Baseball. Phillies’ Joe Girardi and Joe Maddon, who headed the Angels to which Shohei Ohtani belongs, have been dismissed. 72-year-old Dusty Baker, who is currently in command at the Astros, complained, “I think it’s a premature dismissal. It’s becoming less and less generous.” The US media “Audacy Sports” reported.
Baker has been the director of the Giants, Cubs, Reds and Nationals and will lead the Astros from 2020. Although he has not been dismissed in the middle of the season, he retired from the Giants coach at the end of 2002 when he participated in the World Series, and marked a winning percentage of .593 in the two years of 2017-18 when he led the Nationals, but the contract was renewed. It didn’t happen.
Knowing the director’s “sorrow,” Baker argued about the dismissal of Girardi and Maddon before the start of the Mariners match on the 8th (9th Japan time). “Two good coaches like them would be fired so quickly … I think it’s a premature dismissal. What if we had 35 wins and 15 losses in the next 50 games? And (Mike) Trout was a slump. (Anthony) Rendon is injured … Looking at Philadelphia (Phillies), Bryce Harper’s injury changed everything, “he said.
He added, “I’m becoming less generous. No one can keep winning all year long. There are consecutive wins and consecutive losses.” He complained about the dismissal play early in the season.
