Comment on Best of BP 2017: Dusty Baker’s Outdated Reputation by Yah Mule

Any assessment of Baker’s questionable pitcher usage should include his baffling decision to run Aaron Harang out as a relief pitcher to throw 63 pitches on two days rest, after he threw 103 pitches in his previous start and completely out of the blue, and then start him on three days rest. He finished 4th in Cy Young voting the year before Dusty arrived and his career fell off a cliff pretty much right after this mishandling of his arm.
