And this is a completely baseless claim. O'Day could have stellar numbers against all of these batters for all you know.

NUMBERS DON'T MATTER UNLESS THE GUY HAS LIKE 30 AB'S AGAINST THEM EACH.

It's not a baseless claim, Zach Britton was far and away the best RP in baseball this year. He's the best pitcher on your team. It doesn't MATTER what numbers O'Day has against any of them or history or anything because those are other games in other situations.

Zach Britton has better numbers, pitches, and is more valuable than O'Day. He's your best pitcher. You put him in there.

Buncha baseball stat nerds in here that just don't have the tactile feel that Buck has for his pen.

Buck the GOAT

Alright buddy. I'm sure you know better than the 3x AL manager of the year. You're not just some nobody on the internet or anything.

No you're right then why the fuck should any of us talk about anything after all? Right? I mean it's not like any of us have an informed opinion on anything we're all just idiots compared to Buck Showalter. He of glorious rapport that won 3x AL manager of the year awards. One such for taking a Rangers team and miraculously getting them third place one year. Wow.

What would I know about baseball? Nothing. Obviously. So nice.

I'm not the one saying that a professional baseball manager is getting lucky and saying his decision making is stupid.

And yeah, as far as baseball goes, we are all idiots compared to Showalter. And anyone else on that screen right now.

I don't think so.

But whatever I was told to drop it so I will.

Managers aren't infallible, and again knock it off.

It was a deliriously stupid move that managed to not backfire.

And, funnily enough, there are a shitload of awful managers that lose games routinely because of these asinine decisions.

Reminds of the 2003 world series when Torre didn't use Mo in an extra inning game and the Marlins walked us off against Jeff fucking Weaver.

Torre should have been fired after that WS.

Watching this Orioles offense hurts my soul. Take out the one guy in Kim who can actually get on base and it's just awful watching them take at bats. None of them know to take a pitch. It's brutal.
