believe me tho ape i understand your frustration with people hating on baker....Jim leyland is probably the most criticized manager by his home fans in all of baseball...people have been calling for his job on the radio since 07
PHILADELPHIA -- Whenever the day comes that Joey Votto returns to the Reds' lineup from a left knee injury, manager Dusty Baker will have the so-called good problem.
What becomes of Todd Frazier's playing time? Frazier, a National League Rookie of the Year candidate, has filled in very well for Votto, batting .315 in his previous 35 games with eight home runs and 25 RBIs. Before the All-Star break, Frazier handled third base solidly for Scott Rolen.
"Joey is going to play. Nobody is better at third than Scott, and he's coming on quickly," Baker said on Wednesday. "Sometimes when you're on a real good team, you've got to wait your turn to play every day. It's fortunate that he's had this opportunity. He wouldn't have been playing every day had Joey and Rolen [not been hurt].
"It's fortunate for us that we have him and fortunate for him that he could show what he can do. At some point in time, the world is going to be his. Now it's partially his, which isn't a bad spot to be in."
Overall, Frazier entered Wednesday batting .294, with his 55 RBIs and .562 slugging percentage leading NL rookies and his 18 homers ranked second.
You tryin to be a hero fool? You wanna see badass mother fucker?! I'll show ya a badass!!!
That's funny because the players themselves say it wasn't his fault.
Anyway I feel bad for anybody in the phillies division I'd shoot myself if my team had to play at Philly regularly. While watching the games this week my lord were their fans annoying as fuck.
