Maybe they thought they had a better chance to get EE to hit it on the ground or K than Bautista?
To be clear, that was the only comment I heard from the booth, and they said it as they were signing off. Not Showalter.
Britton had to be hurt. He had to be. I mean, what the hell?
Meanwhile Osuna may be out for Texas...

Proving yet again, that most people here who fellate Buck and Girardi and Maddon for their in-game strategy, simply haven't watched many of their games.
Dempsey said we needed a 1 run lead to get the game to britton and that was what buck was looking for, hahahahaha.
Turned on MASN, they seem to be following the same logic as Buck - That they just couldn't get the game to Britton.
If Britton is healthy, Buck should be canned on the spot. This would be, without exaggeration, the worst decision by a manager that I've ever seen in a major league game.
Edit: holy shit he's fine, good luck managing a cinnabon next year, Buck.

No, I don't have cable but I try to watch it on TBS with the app, and Time Warner isn't one of the companies they work with.
Press Conference: Showalter didn't use Britton because he was saving him. WOW. Incredible. I thought he must have been hurt.
Leaving Buckner on the field because you wanted him to be playing when they got the final out is pretty dumb.
Bourn should have caught that ball. Wow. Between that and Showalter being pennywise and pound foolish would leave a horrible taste in my mouth if I were an O's fan. Poor bastards.
No but the TBS crew is pointing out Bourn should have had that ball. Buck is simply doing what he does and acting as if not using Britton was perfectly logical.
I would fire Buck and tell him to rent a car to get home. This is Grady Little bad with runners on the corners, one out.

Really? If you've got anybody else to use, how are you using a guy about whom you have to say that?
