Why is Ubaldo in the game and not Britton?

Can't wait for Buck to say after the game, "We weren't winning, it wasn't a save situation" after the game

I absolutely love the 5th WC but I really wish it was a Best-of-3 series

Showalter should be fired for not bringing in Britton to face Toronto's best hitters.

Bringing in a guy with an ERA north of 5 instead of the best closer in baseball. Fucking wow. I love Buck Showalter but come on.

Also I love Liriano. Clutch move by Shapiro.

Broadcast crew really didn't talk about it once during the inning either.

Ok my gripe!!

Managers bring in relievers in sudden death innings. Such as ubaldo today. Saving their closer for a lead

Wouldnt you rather use your closer, aka best pitcher, in sudden death and use your middle relievers with a cushion?!

If the O's had a 3 run lead and Edwin homers off ubaldo, its only tied. Sucks but you still get to play

Just backwards logic by these so called baseball genius managers

The logic is that you don't want to have a shitty pitcher in a save situation but in a sudden death game I'm not pitching Ubaldo Jimenez when one run ends my season

and the other logic is that you might not ever get that save situation if you pitch your bad reliever before your best one.

shitty pitcher with a lead is better than shitty pitcher in sudden death!

Read four fucking posts above. Clearly I wanted Britton out there.
