Maybe that was his choice? Disappointing regardless. 

Sounds like the Angels gave Mike Scioscia a weekend long tribute/sendoff. 

Buck did not want to talk in the postgame yesterday either. His choice I would think.

Roch in his article this morning said Buck isn't expected back and we could hear as soon as today.

I was thinking Tuesday to let the Ravens own this day. Either way I just hope they make some definitive decisions.

Hell of a win by the Ravens last night, btw.  I think the Steelers aren't that good anymore but the Ravens did what a good team should do against a mediocre one.

I'm hoping for swift, decisive actions here, too.

The fact that Roch had to write, "Showalter met with an ownership representative and should already know his fate," is interesting in own right. Who was the ownership representation? Why if Buck met with that person did he not elaborate on his fate after the game? 

This whole situation right leaves us with this same question:

Ummm-Yes-I-Have-A-Question-Wtf-Funny-Wtf

While this is true, Buck's contract expired.  It is a little different than firing him and the Orioles obligations in notifying him are similarly different.  Both parties are effectively free agents right now.

    • Maybe he’s throwing shade at somebody who hijacks every game thread.
    • And hader, with the second biggest contract in reliever history, is 19th in average annual value just in current contracts (Diaz is 17th). There are 4 relief pitchers in the top 50 pitchers in annual salary (and that’s if you go by spotrac calling Kyle Hendricks a reliever, which he hasn’t been). Which tells you how mlb values starters vs relievers. If you have a chance to get even a  mid rotation starter, chances are it’s more valuable than very good high leverage relievers. They pitch a ton more innings that impacts the team more.  Relievers are volatile, and don’t exactly have longer shelf lives despite the lower inning workload.    if you get a pitcher with good enough stuff that can be a starter, you can always fall back on them being relievers if they don’t make it as starters. Taking someone with no starter potential limits their upside. That’s not what I want with an early pick. I’ll take all the sharkey types in later rounds, but if I get Brecht, I want him in the minors trying to be a starter as long as they think he can be one. 
    • All right I'll pull that back, he does only have a decent shot at his best year. the rest of the season has not happened yet, hell tomorrow could be his last game. I dont like sewing together partial seasons either. Last year half season started with July and August being a scorch fest followed by a cold September which featured shoulder problems and an IL stint. he does have one constant though, the defense is turning Elite. Yes bad AB today, but the more I look at him the more I see what his supporters see. I'm starting to come around to him.  
    • Hey everyone! I’m so sorry that I’m late in getting the results accumulated and a winner announced. I haven’t had time to login to the Hangout in probably 10 days or so due to life and work.  I’ll tally up the entries and post the winner this week, hopefully within the next day or two. Thanks for all the interest!
    • I just came here to see if Mateo had gone on the injured list. To be honest, I think he should, because he’s probably not going to play tomorrow if he’s in concussion protocol, simply because nobody’s going to want to take a chance. very disappointing injury. I hope Mullins is OK too, I would be extremely upset if I had accidentally clocked one of my teammates.
    • Sounds good.  Only scored 2 runs (excluding the hr).  Sounds bad.
    • Hey, at least I support the message board financially. 🤷‍♂️
