Baker suspended
Reporter John Fay just called in with this tidbit from Reds PR man Rob Butcher:
Manager Dusty Baker has been suspended for two games following his ejection from Thursday night's game against the Padres.
Baker was ejected from the game in the seventh inning for arguing with home plate umpire Eric Cooper. Cooper had thrown third baseman Edwin Encarnacion out for arguing a called third strike.
John will be updating this soon.

Post a Comment*Why don't umpires get suspended? IMHO, Eric Cooper is a jerk. He was looking for someone to eject last night and EE just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Ridiculous!
What about suspending umps for blowing home run calls? How about game changing busted calls? how about looking at EE all the time and waiting for EE to do something just so that u can eject him? If u go looking for trouble, you are going to get it..and that ump did just that...He waited, stared, glared and pounced when EE said something...Fine, EE was immature and frustrated....But does a ump HAVE to go looking to throw him out?
That said, the Reds need to grow up...They may have been barking at the ump all night an maybe he had enuff...no clue.
But they're highly paid pros. Harang was pitching up in the zone all night and it caught up to him.
The bank was opened this offseason..best bullpen in yrs, solid 2-3 pitchers...we're striking out alot less...We're 6-7 games out and not too far away...We need to toughen up. if you are going to face a lefty, why not take BP from a lefty????
We all want JR to get 600 here, and hes hitting better! but we have to make a run...its GOTTA change. and it takes leadership from somewhere and someone to get us going.

why does baker get two games and girardi kicked dirt on the umpire and only gets one?
Rats - I've been away. I read your headline to mean that Castellini or Jockety had suspended Baker for trotting Patterson and Griffey out there night after night.
I think Bob C. should "suspend" Dusty for the rest of the year. He has shown himself to be inflexible, slow to embrace new concepts, slow to let go of proven failed ones! I think everybody knows which concepts I'm speaking. Mackanin! That man was an actual manager.
ESPN reported that Baker made contact with the ump...I did not see it in slo-mo or anything,but I dont remember Dusty touching him...
If small ball is critical, then the Reds don't have much of a chance. They would rather hit some home runs, try to get some good individual stats, and then end up losing the game.
