How do we not take the Orioles tonight?

[KSmooth4U]

O's are gonna lose with the best closer in baseball on the bench

[stealthyburrito]

Yikes

[KRIT]

Basically throwing your season away by putting Ubaldo in. Fine with me

[stealthyburrito]

You gotta get Britton in now

[Mase of Base]

If they ground into another double play here I'm punching something

[Darkside Magick]

Here come Jimenez!!! Ballgame

[stealthyburrito]

Wow I'd be furious if I was an Os fan knowing Britton might not be used in this game

[Mase of Base]

Ed-winggggg

[stealthyburrito]

Jeesuz. No doubt Buck will be questioned endlessly about this decision

[Plaza23]

Blue Jays!

They have the best playoff crowd in baseball. Glad they won.

Ubaldo Jiminez is trash.

[Mase of Base]

Jeesuz. No doubt Buck will be questioned endlessly about this decision

That was bad, got two guys that weren't gonna play small ball Edwin and Joey gotta get your strike out guy up.

[Jayvegas420]

BoOM

[CanuckG]

All you can do is tip your hat. If you bet the orioles RL youre ticked.

[jjgold]

Fuk!!!!!!!

Canuck you costed me cash

[pilebuck13]

Canuck I respect the play and not showing homerism

[lolz_69]

Showalter lost that game. Should be put down

[El Nino]

Jeesuz. No doubt Buck will be questioned endlessly about this decision

Had to tweak something. He was up in the pen early, then never came back.

[hundo]

penetrate yeah eddy

[dreamchaser]

Ubaldo was not the right choice for this moment. Too unpredictable all year. Yes, he's been the hot hand in the second half for the O's, but he's either had incredible games or has gotten blown up early. Any other pitcher would have been a better option for that moment.

[slayer14]

ridiclous decision from showalter

[stealthyburrito]

He brought in Jimenez specifically to face Donaldson Edwin Joey bats .

absolutely insane.

Yep agreed.

Still would've been a better option than Ubaldo

Guys we always are tough critics of baseball managers hardly a easy job madden is breaking all the rules most managers stick to the basics

[Plaza23]

So Blue Jays vs Texas should be full of intrigue...hopefully Bautista and Odor get plunked multiple times.

[pilebuck13]

Hopefully the blue jays get swept and Bautista gets his ass beat...fuk them

[Bostongambler]

Baseball manager is the easiest coaching job in pro sports. You don't even need to draw up plays. All you have to do is put your best pieces in the game.

When it's a sudden death situation (meaning you give up a run, and you lose) - that necessitates pitching your best pitchers until you run out of them. If anything, Britton should have been used starting in the bottom of the 9th. Again, sudden death - use your best guys and work backwards.

The problem with these idiots is that they never manage this way in the regular season. They always wait for save situations that might never come, and their closers end up not getting used in road games that are tied in extra innings.

Indefensible. Showalter knew it, he'll be gone and he got a nice severance payment by taking Toronto

[lakerboy]

Britton was hurt.

[lolz_69]

Britton was hurt.

Eat up the media lies
