THANKS BUCK, GREAT MANAGING.

 

This is precisely why people question whether he is the guy to take us to the promise land, he just gave this game away for no reason whatsoever.

Talent takes you to the promised land, not a manager. This team lacks talent in a lot of areas.

The O's are behind.

O'Day and Brach don't pitch in games in which the O's are behind.

It's pretty simple.

And Buck won't be asked to defend his decision.

And???

 

Pitch ANYONE on the staff other than Ubaldo.

 

Throw Davis out there if you have too.

Off day Monday.  If Wright still wasn't available today he should have been sent down. 

It's not that Wright wasn't available, it was that Ubaldo was due. He needs to pitch.

That is being silly.  The O's didn't lose a lead.  Odds were against them winning the game before Ubaldo entered it.

I don't agree with using him there but Buck didn't give the game away.

Stop making sense!

Off day Monday if Wright can't pitch today Monday makes 4 days. Don't get it or send Hart down again.

Not here Scotty. One run game in 8th. 

Ubaldo is WORTHLESS to us. To Buck. Unless he can find some way to use him. Get Buck's and U's confidence back. And like I said, he needs to pitch. Semi-regularly at least. To stay sharp.

      Erceg vs Seranthony Dominguez

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      I think at this point its just semantics regarding what a successful deadline looked like.  Elias upgraded three positions - SP, 2 RP.  Could there have been bigger upgrades?  Sure, at a bigger cost.  I think it was sufficient.  What has killed the team is the hitting.  If this team had hit like its capable of, and Soto, Eflin, and Dominguez all pitched exactly as they have, we'd all be feeling a lot better about the team, and probably lauding Elias for those three pickups and what a great boost they were at the deadline.  But we aren't hitting - at all - and I don't know what he could have done at the deadline to fix that. Already agreed that the draft strategy must evolve. I don't agree it was a bad strategy to do what they did so far, but it does have to evolve, just as the organization as a whole has evolved.  And I think it will.

      I don't mean this as any kind of personal slight toward you. Please do not take this as such. But people/fans showed how they felt about this team who has been a loser for almost 4 months. And largely continued to hedge (beyond the Eflin addition) at the deadline. I bet you who did not have a bunch of empty seats for their playoff game yesterday .... San Diego. IMO it is because of the effort that they put in to continue to engage the fanbase. You can't sell people on the "homegrown" stars idea and no need to add a lot of outside talent. And then some of those "homegrown stars" who were so hyped flop. And then not extend the ones who turn into stars. That communicates a lack of investment by the org. Now when you add that up in the economy/2024 inflation and combine that with all of the other entertainment choices that people have in 2024; things like this will happen. Empty seats during a playoff game = an unengaged/unexcited fan base. The org has to own much of this.

      I agree with the idea of stacking lefties in the lineup but O'Hearn scares me at 1st.  One misplay on a ball in the dirt and that may be the game.   I am one also that wouldn't mind seeing Holiday in the lineup as the DH.  We need people to get on base and he started tapping into that ability at the end of the season.

      Mullins should absolutely Lead Off Today. Keep westburg 2nd then Gunnar, Tony, O'hearn, Adley, Cowser, Kjerstad, Holliday. Try to jump these guys early.
