Buck Showalter appreciation thread.

Thank you Bucky Boy.

[Dr Negative]

I think one of the great untapped market inefficiencies in sport is hiring female managers. Somewhere on planet earth there is a woman who realizes that your best pitcher should see the field in a one game wildcard.

[Grant77]

Some of the worst managing in postseason history if Britton was available. Indefensible.

[John_Havok]

Amazing thread. Well done sir

 

Single worst managerial decision in recent memory to save Britton.... completely indefensible unless he's hurt

[BTS]

If Britton was available, that was the worst managing I've ever seen.

[Jonn]

Jesus Christ Buck just signed his death sentence in Baltimore.

[John_Havok]

Lol, of course he's going to double down now, he won't throw Ubaldo under the bus by saying he should have gone to the best closer in the game over a guy who was a DFA candidate 2 months ago.....

 

 

 

Bwaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha!

So Buck Showalter just lost a winner-take all elimination game that went 11 innings by deciding to use Ubaldo Jimenez over what might be a top-5 pitcher in the world.

This might be the worst managerial decision in sporting history.

Well...when you phrase it like that, he sounds kind of dumb doesn't he?

[Dick_Pole]

He could have at least said he was expecting the game to go 17 innings and wanted the starter to pitch 5...at least save SOME face.

And Brian Duensing, Donnie Hart, etc.

[Grant77]

IM CRYINNG

 

 

 

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHa

 

Ubaldo was pitching better than Britton? LOOOOOL

[GD]

And Brian Duensing, Donnie Hart, etc.

 

Literally did not know who Donnie Hart was coming into today.

[Candy Maldonado]

And Brian Duensing, Donnie Hart, etc.

 

it makes no sense

[BTS]

He's getting crucified on twitter, and by respect baseball people.

[Dick_Pole]

And Brian Duensing, Donnie Hart, etc.

 

Let's be fair...if Britton is in the 9th, chances are Ubaldo is still pitching in the 11th.

[John_Havok]

He's getting crucified on twitter, and by respect baseball people.

 

Has Harold Reynolds backed him up yet? Sounds like something he would do

[L54]

THANK YOU BUCK cf

[fatcowxlive]

Getting??? He's been getting it since Travis got on

[John_Havok]

Let's be fair...if Britton is in the 9th, chances are Ubaldo is still pitching in the 11th.

 

Let's be fair, putting in any reliever instead of Britton, at ANY point after the 9th inning... was wrong

[Pendleton]

This might be the worst managerial decision in sporting history.

 

I'm not a big football guy but seems like it would be tough to top that Seahawks goal line drive in the Superbowl.
