He would have hit McCann for Austin. Yes that is what Girardi in Buck's mind would have done.

Had he put Givens in.

I didn't say put givens in. I said stick with hart. He wouldn't have brought McCann in to face Hart.

Adam Jones has been in a bad slump since his black lives matter race baiting rant.

I don't think you know what a rant is. Also he hit a ball about 800 feet yesterday.

Buck Showalter is what he is. He has his teams playing over .500 baseball, making the playoffs occasionally, but he does NOT win. It's his track records. The Orioles knew this and at that point, desperately needing winning baseball back, it was the right move. The question becomes, do they want to take the next step?

Buck has made some questionable decisions but I can't disagree more.

[Emory Eagle]

Nice argument. Top quality response. You totally refuted what I said.

Please take your politics and attitude elsewhere, thank you.

This loss could be very very costly. I just can't get over the mistakes made in this game. The offense did nothing after the 3rd inning.

Pretty sad if Buck can't trust Brach at this point in season.

Not about trusting him it's about the matchups what are you not understanding here?

Hart wasn't in game, Miley was. If Givens starts 7th instead of Miley then Girardi hits McCann for Austin.

Brach looked bad against everyone he faced tonight, righty or lefty.

My God you don't want him using Brach this late into season? How many RH hitters has Hart faced?! Now he is a shutdown lefty? Come on.

I'm not quitting. Just pissed, man. Buck handled this game like a clueless child that wandered into a movie theater.

Exactly. Nobody is quitting anything. I will be here rooting for this team long after Buck Showalter has gone on to his retirement. But this is not the only poorly managed game he has had this season. Not even in the last month. He lost important games and now a critical game doing this exact same thing, leaving a pitcher in that had no business, none, zero, being in the game. And now when we finish out by one game, he will blame it subtly on the players not doing what they were "supposed to do." He needs to come in to that press conference today and say "I lost that game. Me, not anybody else." Otherwise, he is just another politician talking out of both sides of his mouth.

Puh-LEASE

Well, he has been. That isn't the reason for it necessarily, but he's been terrible dunce then.

[MDK02]

Well my nights ruined. I'm just going to be thinking about the what ifs the rest of the night unless tigers and blue Jays lose somehow.

And if Buck knew that before hand he would not have pitched him.

This all goes back to O'day not being 100 percent. O'day was used in mop up yesterday and Brach was in the key situation today. this team really needed o'day to be o'day. Brach is not o'day when it comes to pressure pitching clearly.

So that home run that nearly went in the third deck last night? Not watching the game?
