Manny:  "Hey Buck.  I'm gonna play over here." Buck:  "That's fine.  Whatever you want."

Manny wants to make sure his new manager doesn't make a big deal about his lack of hustle.  ?

It doesn’t matter to the Orioles now, but I’d really like to know how much blame rests with buck for the personnel fiascoes of the last several years. I had thought that it was mainly Dan, because he was the general manager and that’s what GM’s do. But it seems that he might’ve had a lot more control over such decisions than I thought, and that would be a real dealbreaker if some of those choices were really on Buck instead of Dan. 

Overall It is better to look forward then back, and they might do better to look for somebody from the Houston or Tampa organization.

Agree totally. There is no “face of the franchise” no matter how much we love a player, he leaves and the song remains the same.

The Padres owner made some sharp comments right after the season.

Big year for AJ Preller.  With where that organization is, I feel like the specter of Dave Dombrowski's availability will loom over his shoulder throughout 2020, and someone in the next 9-10 months will probably do okay selling win-now pieces to the Padres.

Buck loved Givens and Mancini right - I think i'm rooting for this.

I'm fine with talking about it, but it shouldn't be in Orioles Talk.  The thread should be in the MLB section.  But folks want responses and you get more responses posting in Orioles Talk.

      The Os will be in the playoffs

      SSS but Holliday was playing incredible defense after like the first game or two when he seemed to have some jitters.  He had +3 OAA in a very short span.  Mateo has looked a little awkward at 2nd to be honest, and he's not the best at making the double play turn.

      Hoping for a speedy recovery. That all happened fast. Not my initial impression reading the write up.

      Is it time to upgrade over Urias and McCann?

      By Hallas · Posted

      McCann looks cooked but he's in his last year and our options at backup C aren't great unless we're willing to trade for one.  But I'm not giving up a lot for a backup C.   I'd like to find a replacement for Urias.  He didn't look great last year and he's being thrust into a role that he's not really cut out for right now.  I don't think he's getting the 2022 magic back.  Maybe Westburg can go to 3rd full time and one of our 5 AAA 2nd basemen can work in with Mateo at 2nd.

      I quoted myself, because I wanted to share something with you all.  I have memory issues.  Nothing full blown or anything, but I don't recall things nearly as well as I once did.  I mention this because it occurred to me that I posted a very similar thing about McCann last year, and he performed notably better in the 2nd half.  At least I believe so.   It's not that I feel I'm exactly wrong about McCann, but rather that he showed himself to be better just last season and could do so again.  I hope so. Memory issues are nothing to be ashamed of, though I'd be pretending if it didn't bother me.  I've been dealing with this for maybe five years or so, though it gets worse every year.  At 59, that's younger than most that have such issues.   I'm sure in a forum as populated as this one, there could be others going through what I am.  It is what it is... it's life, and I hope you're all doing your best with it.

      Estrada and Tejada both continued their recent surges today.  Estrada was 2 for 4 with a double, while Tejada was 3 for 3  with a homer.  Tejada has his OPS up to .737, not bad for a league where .654 is average.  Estrada is at .628 and climbing.

      Jeff Tackett was also part of the single-worst baserunning display I've seen in my entire life.  No exaggeration.  I was at the game with a friend who was at her first baseball game ever, and she asked me what was going on.  I still have no idea. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/sports/1993/04/18/three-man-jam-at-third-costs-the-orioles-7-5/7eb4c3d6-545f-481a-89f4-9bc0036ad89a/

      No doubt, I'm expecting that from Mateo. But sub .600 with worse defense is a possible outcome for Holliday this year. I hope it doesn't happen but I don't think we can rule it out.
