Example A of why you fire Buck after 3 seasons.

He's just pissed the entire season away by refusing to accept reality.

It's been the book on him everywhere he goes, he doesn't make changes in time.

Johnson is toast, enough is enough.

Either buck makes the change after this game or he finds a new job after the season......sorry I'm just tired of his excuses.

I could of written this myself. I think we all saw the best part of Buck the last two-three seasons and now we are seeing why he gets canned all the time.

Maybe we could of offered a smaller extension than to 2018? I wonder what his byout amount is?

Yeah, let's fire the guy that gave us our first winning season/playoff appearance in 15 years for playing above .500 ball in the toughest division in baseball the following year :rolleyes:

Im not saying fire the guy, but his stubbornness will be the reason this years team wont make the playoffs. Buck says he doesn't believe in the save rule, yet like clockwork brings in Johnson to continually blow games.

As stupid as Buck is for keeping JJ in the closer role, it would be far more dumb to fire him.

So the season is over already? Because JJ blew another save you want to fire the

manager that took the team to the playoffs after 14 years? I am sure glad you are

not in charge. It is frustrating but golly you fire the guy. Maybe you would have

wanted Valentine? Now have you got someone in mind? You have to have

someone in mind if you are so ready to get rid of Buck. Personally I may have

left Rodriguez in. I wish JJ had done the job. He didnt. But I would not fire Buck

over JJ failing to do his job.

Yankees did almost the exact same thing (made playoffs for the first time in 14 years, canned him the following year) and won a World Series the subsequent year.

    • I was wondering if anyone was at the game on Saturday and if anyone got the Ryan Mountcastle bobblehead or anyone you know did?  I have noticed something and just want to see if it is a strange trend happening this year or an anomaly.  Thanks for anyone who replies.

    • What would be ideal is for the #1-#2 punch at the top of the rotation to be a combo of RHP and LHP.  It seems that the teams who are most successful have those guys to lead their rotation. And I agree with your statement about John Means. If Grayson Rodriguez were to provide us with any indicator, then John Means will not be the same guy that he was before his injury.  (Neither is Grayson compared to himself prior to injury.)
    • The most intriguing mystery about this series is who will pitch on Wednesday? Could be Irvin, Could be Voth. Could be DL Hall? Maybe Drew Rom makes his Major League debut? Hmm...
    • I blame the Montreal Expos for that. They poached our territory. And all the front office executives from 2001-2011 are also partially to blame for failing to compete with Washington for fans. (And as a side note, I really hope we are valuing our fans from North Carolina who have supported the Orioles for generations.)
    • Interesting little piece of trivia. At this same point (of service time on the calendar) through both their careers, Cal (Ripken Jr) had played in fewer games and had fewer plate appearances. Gunnar Henderson has a better wOBA and a better wRC+ through the same amount of plate appearances up to this point of Gunnar's career. (I'll make a topic about it tomorrow).
    • The story of the Guardians year has been the inability to put runs on the board, but they still lead MLB in fewest Strikeouts, and Fangraphs still pegs BAL the very worst team at defense YTD. They won the rubber game today of their Cardinals series, so are coming in on a little bit of a good note.     The Twins haven't played very well, leaving almost everyone a good week away from the division lead. K-BB standing among Active Roster AL SP (18) Wells v. (30) Allen (54) Gibson v. (61) Quantrill Voth/Irvin v. (49) Bieber 2 of 3 day games in a weekday series with the holiday, and a getaway day out to San Francisco and Alex Cobb for us.     Cleanup hitter Josh Naylor sat out today after fouling a ball off his foot, but X-rays okay and chances are he'll be back for this series.     With the 2.5 day break from WED afternoon to FRI night late, Hyde should have a lot of options for the finale if Wells/Gibson hold serve.
