This is the youngest team I've had, which is what I've been yearning for really for years now. The younger the team, sometimes the more mistakes, but the more open and willing they are to be taught how to play. It seems like the older players are set in their ways.
More Quotes from Dusty Baker:
If you rescue him every time, you'll have to rescue him all the time. If you leave him out there, you learn about them or they become a pitcher by coming through. He can say, 'I can handle the situation,' but until you've been in the situation, you don't know if you can handle it or not.Dusty Baker

That makes it sound like somebody's lying. I went through that a couple years ago, which was untrue at the time, and I'm not going through that. I've never been accused of that. I don't know if Walker was accusing me, but it was kind of general. You need to be more specific and you need to address that person, man to man. That's how I like to treat guys and how I appreciate being treated in return.

You're always hoping for a no-hitter when a guy goes that deep in a ballgame. We figured it'd be Eckstein who would break it up. He's a good little ballplayer. It's hard to corral him.

I said, 'At times,' ... It's not an overall, long, extended, everybody issue. It's at times. There's a difference. If I contradicted myself, I'm sorry. It's at times. You've seen it. I've seen it, too. At times. Those are isolated incidents.
