OK, he wasn't in a 7 year coma but still.
Dusty Baker makes an appearance in the article and once again shows off his great baseball acumen:
This year he went 15-6 at the Reds’ Triple-A Louisville affiliate, and after striking out 10 in one of his last starts, Baker noticed. He had seen Pettyjohn in spring training and didn’t think he was ready, but to Baker, winning is winning regardless of what the radar gun says.
“Fifteen wins are 15 wins,” Baker said. “Sixteen wins are 16. I see him and I think Tommy John and Jamie Moyer. That’s pitching.”
Wins (especially at AAA) are a great measure of pitching performance.
Base clogging is bad.
Etc.
I love you Dusty.
