And that, my friends is why you don't want a Buck Showalter as your chief decision-maker. My guess is that Mike Scioscia was sitting in his family room watching that game last night in total support of Showalter's bullpen decisions. I can hear it myself. "Sometimes it just doesn't work out the way you want. The Blue Jays played tough. You have to tip your hat to them. Now we just turn the page and have Zach Britton ready to go tomorrow."
For my part, I would see that the Orioles will have Machado, Trumbo and Wieters coming to bat in the next inning and Britton HAS gone more than 1 inning before.
