Dusty Baker believes that Matt Garza should have spoken to Johnny Cueto face-to-face rather than make comments to the media about Cueto's supposed immaturity.
Cueto threw a pitch over the head of Chicago's David DeJesus on Sunday, starting a Cubs rally.
An angry Garza called Cueto "immature" after the game.
"If he wants to say something to me, he knows where my locker is. If he's got a problem, he can throw at me, and I'll do the same," Garza said. "Hopefully, he grows ... up. I hope he hears this. I really don't care. I don't know if there's anything between him and [DeJesus], but I'll stop it. I don't think you intentionally try to injure somebody. I hope the league looks at it. I don't want him suspended or anything. I hope his players talk to him and show him the way it is."
Baker questions whether Garza would have been as upset had he pitched better than his four-inning, four-run outing.
"Would he have been as upset if he got the win instead of potentially getting the loss. If you've got something to say, you go over and tell them," Baker said. "Johnny ain't running. That guy can say what he wants to say, but he can say it to his face."
