Since Dusty Baker is a fun quote we are starting a new series where we look at the Washington Nationals manager top five quotes each month of the season

When you talk about Washington Nationals manager Dusty Baker, he has had a great impact on this club over the last year or so. After Matt Williams’ disappointing tenure in D.C., Baker has gotten the team to the postseason once and they are off to a strong start in 2017 (17-8).

Baker’s managerial success is well known, but he is always a good postgame quote for any reporter. Whether its pregame, postgame, or in game (national broadcasts), it’s always interesting to see what he has to say each game.

First off, we want to thank all of the reporters who cover the Washington Nationals on a daily basis and do an excellent job getting these quotes. This article would not be possible if it was not for their hard work.

Starting this month, we are going to take a look back at some of the more memorable quotes from Baker throughout the month of April. Sometimes, Baker may screw up a name or make a unique comparison that only he can make. But, he is always good for a laugh every once in a while. It’s not laughing at him, but laughing with him.

So, here are my top five quotes from Baker in the month of April. If you have a favorite quote from the manager, feel free to share yours in the comments section and send us your favorite from May for next month’s column.
