I'm not sure how this idea that Buck, as Orioles manager, was some sort of hard case to the players. He let guys get away with a LOT, Machado being the prime example.
You said that sort of thing " Never would have happened under Buck.". You don't think Adam's little sidestep is showboating?
Unless of course you mean Buck would have ripped a rookie for doing the type of stuff a vet was allowed to do.
You might be right if that was the point you were making.
