The Reds, Doing What Dusty's Teams Do
Written by wrigleyville

Hal McCoy ponders the imponderable: How a Dusty Baker team can have such poor fundamentals: CHICAGO — When spring training begins next February, manager Dusty Baker needs to start from scratch, as in holding up a round white thing and saying, "This is a baseball." Among 16 National League teams, the Cincinnati Reds are 14th in hitting, 14th in defense and 13th in pitching. There are no tangible statistics for measuring fundamentals, but the naked eye says the Reds are 16th. Dead last, which is why they are dead last in the National League Central standings. Well, yes, that's what Dusty's teams do. But none of this, of course, is Dusty's fault. It's not his team, though he did try to warn this team that is not his that something bad was about to happen on Rich Harden's bunt last night: It was a safety squeeze. Soto waited to see what third baseman Encarnacion did with the bunt as he crept down the line. Encarnacion did not even glance at Soto as he threw to first. As soon as Encarnacion threw, Soto broke for home and slid across with the run. And it didn't come without warning. Manager Dusty Baker said he yelled at the entire infield, "Watch for the safety squeeze." Said Baker: "You have to look the runner back. You have young players, they are going to do some things. Hopefully, they learn from it. That was a tough way for Johnny to give up his only run. Good to have Dusty back in Chicago as the Cubs try to chip away at that magic number.
