Dusty Baker ran his mouth dis mornin’ on a buncha stuff: swingin’, aggressivocity and cows were speaked on.

Some hi-lites:

“Most of the time you’ve got to put handcuffs on a young guy to keep him from swinging. (The young players are) playing good, real good. I’d like to see them more aggressive.

“I really, really hate the called third strike. I hate that. You’re guessing and you ain’t ready to hit.”

“Dunn’s not a kid. He’s not old, but he ain’t a kid,” Baker said. “I bet you he gets better. He’s from Texas, right? There’s not a cow in Texas if he don’t get better.”

On Joey Votto, whose primary skill according to Keith Law is his plate discipline:

“He needs to swing some more. I talked to him about that. … I’d like to see him more aggressive.”

He added:

B-e a-g-g-r-e-s-s-i-v-e!

(I wish.)
