Could happen with 8,000 people in the stands next  year.But not Yankee or Boston games.

You have to give the Orioles props for making this decision. I realize that most MLB teams would have let him go during the season. However, the Orioles ultimately did what they needed to do. Buck should be grateful that he had the whole season to manage the team.

At least that means I won't have to hear his platitudes during the game anymore...

Seriously? Grateful to manage a 115 loss team as a lame duck manager? I disagree.

Definitely great for Buck that hes moving on, and ultimately good for the team.  However what a disappointment it will be if we bring in Bordick.  WTF.  Why cant we just be a normal team and have a competent rebuild.  Nuts.

Don't you find being fired embarrassing? The Orioles were extremely loyal to Buck and he should be grateful. Buck even said it himself that the Orioles have treated him very well.

Kenny has moles in warehouse and Roch obviously has connections. Dan C has been good lately with some scoops. 

Mole singular.   It's either Brady or DD.  I haven't decided which yet.

I agree that the decision to let Buck finish out the season was probably made out of respect to him.  Or complete paralysis because of the total and absolute leadership vacuum in the warehouse.   But I'm feeling a little charitable today for some reason.

Hopefully when it surfaced it then got submerged.What managerial experience does he have? He does know how to heap praise on the Orioles even when losing many.

As has been reported here also, it went downhill after 2016...

At least Bordick wouldn’t be on MASN anymore.

Disappointing. I held out hope, however minimal, that he'd be back, but to not be involved with the organization on any level doesn't quite hit me right.

Oh, well. It's been a pleasure Buckling up these last nine seasons. What a ride it was, indeed.

His contract was up. He either didn't accept, or wasn't offered, a different position in the organization. They were so loyal to Buck, they let him ride the whole season.
