Whither Buck ?

I like Buck in Philly. He won't have any issue navigating Harper and Arrieta. He's not anti-analytics necessarily, he's just not going to be the guy to disperse that information to the players. Roster full of good players, probably a better relationship with Andy/Klentak than Duquette. 

For a fanbase who got tired of Kapler's whole deal really quickly, Buck could be a nice change of pace.

Philly fans would love his Earl imitations...as did I.

Navigating Arrieta??? He must have solved that TTP problem.

I think Frobby had a get off my lawn moment a week or so ago, I'm about to have one here.  Really not interested in what former Orioles are doing/saying.  I wish them both the best but they have no bearing on the current regime and what needs to happen in this offseason to get this team headed in the right direction.

I dont read Mlb section as I dont care about other teams. Buck was second winningest manager in Orioles history.  Most people care about him. And he is Orioles related.  If you dont want to read about it just dont open th he thread.

    • Does anybody know that he is an ex Yankee?
    • I put this ridiculousness in the game recap, but I think it belongs here as well.  Using AI you can really make some crazy stuff. 😂 https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce
    • A buddy of mine made this with his AI. I figured I’d just put this here. 😂   https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce
    • I was listening to MLB Prospects podcast last week. They talked about Gillen, and mentioned a lot about how he may be the best high school hitter. However, it’s a tough call where he’ll go because of a weak arm. They said the arm was injured, a right labrum, and his arm strength is not back after two years. So, probably wasn’t going to be a SS anyway when said and done due to size, maybe a 2B/LF or CF profile due to the weak arm and 60 speed. He was projected to maybe become the top high school player in the draft as a sophomore, but injured the shoulder and had some other injuries that have held him back. It is going to be interesting to see where Elias goes with picks 22 and 32. I would like to see Gillen there, but I think he’ll be gone. Kellon Lindsey is interesting, and maybe Billy Amick, along with one of the previous college hitters you mentioned will sneak through. Lindsey is rising fast.
    • A good friend of mine coaches college baseball.  He’s studied and dedicated his career to understanding how humans move. Not all humans move the same way.  An incredible talent could potentially be taught to move against his body’s preference and fail.  New wave progressive coaches understand how various body types work and the nuance to teach/coach them effectively.  
    • I'm still trying to figure out how this guy is out of the majors for 7 years and somehow manages to pick up 2 MPH on his fastball, at the age of 34.  But hey, I'm not complaining.   Statcast loves him so far this year.  Statcast thought he was a little unlucky in his last stint in the majors, and unsurprisingly they think he's getting a little lucky now, but even accounting for his good luck he's still in great pitcher territory.
    • 2 "gutsy" starts in a row.  That's exactly what you want out of veterans to demonstrate to the young guys.
