if he used Britton they woulda won too. Great game, all jokes aside. The players on Baltimore deserved better.

Excellent game.

You already answered this question. "Get the lead first".

Evil Vito 10-04-2016 11:41 PM

The Orioles wouldn't be the first team to fire Buck Showalter.

Man Buck is gonna have to really own up. He lost this game. Had multiple chances to use Britton, and when the game was on the line, he went with a pitcher that was so awful he got demoted to the pen on a team with no starting pitching.

Lock Jaw 10-04-2016 11:42 PM

I'M HYPE

Frank Drebin 10-04-2016 11:44 PM

Love the wildcard game. Good teams still get in. Gives the casual fans a taste of how crazy and intense the postseason can be. How every pitch, every move (cough Zach Britton on the bench cough) is a conversation.

I get it, it's a coin flip. You condense a 162 game season I to one game. Same principle applies to a 5 or 7 game series. Bottom line is it's exciting and good for the game.

Damian Rey 2.0 10-04-2016 11:44 PM

Buck ain't hype

RP 10-04-2016 11:45 PM

So who is managing the Orioles next season? Not Showalter for sure.

Bad News Gertner 10-04-2016 11:45 PM

O's peaked too early in the game.

Better luck next year. Wah! Wah!

Ol Dirty Dastard 10-04-2016 11:45 PM

good buddy of mine is always bestowing the virtues of Showalter and how much better he is than Gibbons. I hate Gibbons, but Showalter literally just saved John Gibbons his job.

Stickman 10-04-2016 11:46 PM

Jays!!!!

RP 10-04-2016 11:46 PM

How the fuck do you not use Britton?? Might be the worst decision ever. I'm not even joking.

RP 10-04-2016 11:46 PM

LOL Showalter is gone

RP 10-04-2016 11:46 PM

Showalter just lost his job on one of the biggest stages.

Frank Drebin 10-04-2016 11:47 PM

Lol at the champagne being used just for winning the play in game. So fn stupid. Division series too. So lame.

RP 10-04-2016 11:47 PM

LOL Britton for Ubaldo is like Lebron for ELton Brand

Jesus Chist.

Lock Jaw 10-04-2016 11:48 PM

Jays busting out the champagne again........ wasting a lot of champagne again.........

poopfromweiner dude 10-04-2016 11:48 PM

Missed the big game what happened

SIKE SUCK MY DICK DROFORD

RP 10-04-2016 11:49 PM

There needs to be an investigation. I'm not ruling out Showalter throwing that game right now.

Evil Vito 10-04-2016 11:49 PM

I pray to whatever baseball gods are up there that if the Mets do lose tomorrow, it doesn't come down to Terry Collins doing Terry Collins things.

I can live with losing conventionally, getting shut down by Bumgarner, etc. but my heart cannot take a season being thrown away in the way the Orioles just lost. Man that was bad.

oh come on man, I get it's a bit over the top but 163 games s a fucking grind, and they just essentially won the wild card "pennant" in a fucking crazy game.

Emperor Smeat 10-04-2016 11:50 PM

Really dumb decisions by the Os late in the game. Saving Britton as their last pitcher was extra dumb.

Frank Drebin 10-04-2016 11:50 PM

Surprised Buck didn't call in the San Diego Chargers to help.

Evil Vito 10-04-2016 11:50 PM

lolllllllllll Showalter on ESPN trying to justify it now

So you get champaign when you:
- Lock up a playoff spot
- win the division
- win game 163 if necessary
- win the wildcard game
- win the LDS
- win the LCS
- Win the WS

Jesus.

Evil Vito 10-04-2016 11:54 PM

I haven't heard of teams celebrating just clinching a playoff spot UNLESS their division is already decided tbh.

How much schooling does it take to become a full fledged member of the fun police?

Would hate to get alcohol all over my cameras/lenses/headsets..........

Damian Rey 2.0 10-04-2016 11:58 PM

Fucking Buck avoiding admitting he made the wrong move in leaving Britton on the pine.

Trying to pretend Ubaldo was a better choice lol. Keeps saying a lot of different options. Yes guy. But THE BEST option was left sitting on his fucking can in the most important game of the year.

If you ever take a trip down to Cobb Country, Georgia
You better read the signs, respect the law and order
YOU'LL SERVE HARD TIMES
YOU'LL BE SERVING HARD TIMES
You know the Big Boss Man will make you walk the line
Better watch out boy or you'll be serving hard times

Damian Rey 2.0 10-05-2016 12:01 AM

Now the ex players trying to protect Buck. How can you defend Showalter there? Even Droford couldn't.

Lock Jaw 10-05-2016 12:06 AM

Beer all over the mic..... ugggghhhhhhh

RP 10-05-2016 12:07 AM

I think Buck Showalter may have just threw the fucking game. I'm being serious right now.

RP 10-05-2016 12:12 AM

Full discloser. I have a great DK lineup going. And i have Encarnacion. I'm currently winning $5 dollars with a backloaded lineup full of Mets.

I want to state that because i still for fucking Lord, dont understand why Zach Britton didnt get a single pitch in that fucking game. Buck Showalter may very well have thrown that fucking game. LOL I'm not even joking. i'm fucking stunned and i'm 100% sure he wont have a job next season.

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Damian Rey 2.0 10-05-2016 12:12 AM

Nah. He has no reason to throw the game. He just made a dumb decision (over and over and over again).

RP 10-05-2016 12:13 AM

LOL no.

He threw that game.

RP 10-05-2016 12:13 AM

There needs to be a huge investigation started now

Ol Dirty Dastard 10-05-2016 12:14 AM

lol RP my fb status is "Thank you Mr. Showalter, you'll be getting your cheque from Mark Shapiro in the mail"

I honestly think Showalter "managed for the sake of managing". Along the lines of psyching himself out.

Emperor Smeat 10-05-2016 12:15 AM

Maybe Buck forgot the Os didn't suddenly inherit the Tigers 2 chances at a Wild Card spot when the 3-way tie didn't occur.
