I should be ponding beers. But I will save that for the real playoffs.

Hate Papi.

One half inning and one excellent move by the manager. Buck has a good batting average so far.

[J.D.]

#Orioles manager Buck Showalter had to he carried down clubhouse runway moments after exchanging lineup card.

Anyone know anything?

Lets do Beckett a favour and let him go home early for the birth of his kid.

OK, good news: Minor ankle injury for Showalter. Expected to return to dugout shortly

[nate22]

Showalter sprained his ankle? I wonder how that happened?

He hit himself in the ankle with a bat when he was frustrated.
