I am not sure why people have no problem with people blasting Tillman but have issues when someone complains about Buck.   Bucks first year here he was no better than Trembley. Last year the team quit on him.

Every time I read a thread like this I think of Randy Quaid from Major League,

That would make it seem like I am angry. I am not.  Just think team needs someone else at helm.  Not angry like people who are  angry at Tillman,  Trumbo,  Wright etc,  etc.

Scosica is a lapdog to the owner. That's literally the only reason he's still there. Any other team and he's out the door quicker than you can put old bay on a crab cake. My worry with Buck is that he'll become Sparky Anderson 2.0. He did well there for a while and was a great GM, but overstayed his welcome way to long. 

To me, Scioscia is the Jeff Fisher of MLB.  At least to Scioscia's credit he did win it all in 2002.

You pretty much hit the nail on the head. Angels got stupid lucky in game 7 that year too, unlike the titans who have been and always will be 1 yard short.

Buck took over a team that was 15-39 with Trembley and 17-34 with Juan Samuel and went 34-23 with the same players.    And yes, the next year they went 69-93, but that’s still way better than they were doing in 2010 with Trembley and Samuel.    And, they played well that September and set the stage for the five-year run to follow.

That said, I have no problem with anyone who wants to suggest that it’s time to replace Buck.   I don’t agree, but I don’t consider it a ridiculous position to take.

Trembleys first year the team won 69 games.

      2024 Week 6: Ravens vs Commanders

      By Baseball fandom · Posted

      I really hope the Ravens win this one. I hate all Washington teams and always root for them to lose but especially if they are playing Baltimore teams

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      I really don’t see the point of trading Mullins, or even Mountcastle for a reliever. We need Mullins definitely, especially with Santander being a FA.  What good is a reliever if you can’t get a lead?  I just don’t like trading everyday players for relievers, especially when we have a good looking pen next year pre deadline, and what reliever would Mounty/Mullins even buy. Would that reliever even be an upgrade over what we already have? At this point, I’m thinking Mounty goes for some sort of RHH COF.

      Grade the Eflin Trade

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      We couldn’t have asked for more from the Eflin deal than what we got. 9 starts that kept the rotation afloat to even make the playoffs. Then a “good” playoff start in an elimination game where we had the luxury of going to the pen fast.  It’s always tough giving up prospects, but Eflin did exactly what we needed him to do post deadline.

      Co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, Fredi Gonzalez and Jose Hernandez let go

      There should be one philosophy, and that's what the O's claimed to have. There's just a lot more work to coaching 13 hitters (plus callups) than one person can do. Going through video, coordinating with the data folks, developing a plan, all that stuff. Only so many hours in the day.

      I have no idea why any team would want more than 1 philosophy across the board, especially a young team. Possibly a player's demands or contract calls for his own hitting coach.. but I stand by my wish.

      At cost considerations there is 2 players i'd rather have listed in that article over Crochet, Helsley leading that. Also Mountcastle to the Reds for a SP makes a lot of sense also.

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Guilty. I'm working to be intentional to enjoy the day to day of a lot of exciting careers beginning, and not miss the moment as during say Peyton Manning's career in a different chapter of life when assured 14-2 or 13-3 seasons were four months of boredom while you waited to see what the playoff stumble would be this time.    SIGBOT's stuff works in the regular season same as Billy Beane's didn't in the playoffs. I don't follow Over/Unders, but would guess the 2025 Orioles are 1st or 2nd in the AL on early action.    My informal AL power rankings end of 2024: 1. A nonexistent Orioles team with a functional Adley Rutschman 2. Yankees with Soto 3. Tie between actual Orioles with broken Adley and end stage Astros that lost several series to hot Central teams 4. Yankees without Soto 5. Central I'm cheating Cleveland there for a joke, and hope they win, which they are plenty capable of doing.    It is an interesting matchup for the stuff the two teams are good at being very different.
