Nuggets: The wit and wisdom of Buck Showalter

[Redskins Rick]

Prior to signing with the Yankees Stengel's major league managerial record, with Boston and Brooklyn, was 581-742.

Everybody has opinions.

Stengel has several poor teams before New York Yankees, the Dodgers, the Bees and the Braves.

He never had a losing team with the Yankees, some would argue that even Dave Trembly could win in New York.

Here is one opinion, that has Casey as one of the Five Legends:

He was Billy Martin's mentor. And Billy was Buck's. Direct lineage.

In Bill James book on managers had a long piece on managerial families, kind of in this vein. It was very interesting, I haven't looked at that in years.

I think we can all agree that it's a very good thing that Buck decided to pour most of his shots in potted plants when asked to go out with Billy's entourage. Martin was equal parts brilliant and mentally unstable. He actually got into a fistfight in a hotel with a marshmallow salesman.

For all of his faults and there was many.

Billy had an absolute brilliant baseball mind.

It was funny, when he ripped the bullpen phone off the dugout wall, one game in RFK, when Howard did the original version of a Trumbo Bomb.

"It's a cold time. It's really cold," Buck said. "Anything that makes players feel like a piece of meat being moved around, I'm not on it."

On Last night's game:

On whether offense is showing midseason fatigue:

“We’re well past that. I think this is game 100. Yeah, of course. Everybody is. There’s a team that’s one of the best statistical teams in baseball that scored 3 runs tonight, and that’s part of it. You know, we fought through it. It’s hard to keep the pace that we were at. Our pitching’s been better, and we’ve been in more games. That’s why we have a lead in our division right now, because we’ve had other parts of the game pick it up.”

"That Utopian closer is left-handed" Where is Utopia? Is that upstate NY? lol.

...Buck said "It is why we get up every day. We are not here to kiss babies and have padres."

This provides some insight as to why Jimmy Paredes is no longer on the team!

This provides some insight as to why we didn't pull the trigger on the Drew Pomeranz trade!

Buck was asked about the dog days of August. "What about Cat Days?"

[tntoriole]

"I'm hoping the guys get some rest on the way back and stay close by some people who like them tomorrow." After comeback win today in last game of road trip.

Showalter said, "Big hairy guy hits a ... Jon's not even hairy, but a three-run homer. That's a great segue. Wish I had thought of it."

After Jon Schoop's game winning 3 run homer and in honor of Earl's birthday.

As the interview with Showalter had almost reached its conclusion, an out-of-town writer asked him what his team showed today. The answer was a nice capper to an incredible day.

“Nothing they haven’t already showed and will tomorrow on the off day and will on the next day,” he replied. “You don’t start sending messages in August and September. If you have to do that, then you haven’t been doing what you’re supposed to do to get there.”
