Why the blame on Dusty Baker for the misfortunes of Cubs pitchers?

Question

Is it because of Kerry Wood and Mark Priors' injuries? This is the first time I hear that a manager is at fault for his pitchers injuries. Can you explain why?

Answer 1

just the cubs trying to put the blame on the manager because their team had a bad record. wood and prior both have been on the DL this year as well, but i guess it is becuase they pitched too much 9 years ago.

Answer 2

prior and wood were both very young talented pitchers and a lot of people believed they were overworked and that what messed up there arms.  Weather its true or not there is no real way of knowing for sure

Answer 3

The manager always gets the blame.   It's just part of the job.
