Ubaldo now in the game, Britton still on the bench. Britton has to be hurt right?

 

They interviewed him before the game and said he was good to go 2+

Jimenez with a 5.44 ERA? Gross. He used to be such a badass.

You're giving Buck far too much credit.

[badger]

I want tor to win just so bucks old school stupidity is exposed.

[Gilby]

Buck's really gonna go with a guy with a WHIP of like 3 with the top of the order due up. Bold move.

I don't get it. Ubaldo is effectively their #2 right now so they'd rather use their game 1 starter than use Britton without a lead?

[Aaron_Kennelly]

What are you doing,Buck?

[Cubswin11]

Jesus Christ, Buck

Is he STILL leaving him in the pen? This is crazy making...

 

How are the announcers not talking about this?

[Tryptamine]

Buck is going to get destroyed for this.

[Gilby]

This is incredible. I know he's an old baseball man, but I thought Buck was better than this.

[imb]

they should make buck walk home lmao

[Sammys Boombox]

I was telling my wife when Jimenez was warming up that the game was over if he came in. What horrendous managing

[soccer10k]

LOL Buck.

 

Need a groundball and have one of the best ground ball pitchers in the history of baseball but you leave him in the pen.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

let's check in on Britton in the bullpen:

 

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Wow

[OleMissCub]

O's deserved this loss. Not bringing Britton in there was criminal

[Tryptamine]

Your best pitcher doesn't throw a single pitch in a single elimination game. That's a fireable offense, I don't care what you did in the past.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

this just may be a fireable offense

[Ski]

Buck should be fired. How do you not bring in your 0.50 ERA closer with an 80% groundball rate in extra innings on the road with the winning run 90 feet away? My god, Britton might as well not even be on the roster at that point.

[badger]

I bet the Orioles board is gonna give me pure schadenfraude. I don't even really care about the Orioles I just hate stupidity being rewarded

[BigSlick]

i can't help but love the blue jays with their dingers and their swag

 

and good god buck showalter should be fired on the spot

[Omar]

That ball was crushed.
