Regardless of the result, you gotta question the process here. Why would you not use your best guy in that spot?

Closers are sometimes shit when not in close situations if they aren't used to it. That's the only thing I can think of. If Britton is one of those it's something as a strike against him for the Cy Young award. It's a value lowerer

Still can't believe the Mets got Darren O'Day in the Rule 5 draft, cut him in the second week of the 2009 season to make roster room for a random Nelson Figueroa spot start, and then he became one of the best relievers in baseball.
God dammit, Omar Minaya. |

Never know. Not sure how many one inning arms Baltimore has left but if they have to rely on their backend starters they might be in trouble.
Really like Liriano here. Was a sneaky good move to get him and using him long in this game is smart. |

Fun Fact: Damian Rey actually faced off against Adam Jones in high school and travel ball. 1 for 1 with a walk against Jones over his career.

Buck needs to be canned. It is incomprehensible that Ubaldo Jimenez got into this game before Zach Britton.

There is not a manager in baseball who I would keep under my employ for bungling up the end of a game like that. None.

Shocked that in an 11 inning wild card game, the seasons best closer didn't get used. How does that happen?

Too bad they didn't have those "Post Season is Ours" t-shirts this year. Can't photoshop it to "Hours" like I did against the Yankees.
Missed opportunities. |

As soon as I saw Ubaldo warming in the bullpen I knew the game was over, he got lit up back in June at the game I went to....

I'd fire Joe Maddon after a 103 win season if he pulled that stunt to end a season. I don't know how it's possible to screw up that badly.

What makes it better is Buck walked his dusty ass out there to fucking huddle and the best strategy he came up with was to leave a guy with a 5+ ERA out there against a premier power hitter with the game on the line. Meanwhile, THE BEST RELIEVER IN ALL OF MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WAS SITTING ON HIS FUCKING HANDS IN THE BULLPEN BWA HAHAHAHAHAHA.
Say what you want about it, but the new wild card format has been amazing. |
