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.

    • Now overall I notice 29 K's in 17 innings. That ratio of 1.7 is top of the line for a starter!
    • Urias looks pretty cooked too though, and he's not providing the kind of defensive flexibility that Mateo is, and he doesn't have very good splits for platooning.  At least for 2023 and 2024 Mateo has had good platoon splits.
    • 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.
    • 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.
