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.

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. |

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

Better luck next year. Wah! Wah! |

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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. |

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

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 |

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

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. |

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.
