Still rather we hid him somewhere else...like Dunedin, heh.

Hope Buck got himself good and riled up over Castro's fist pump at the end. Another guy not celebrating in the right way for him to lecture through the media.

That ship sailed a month ago.

I missed the incident that set it off but there's a crazy brawl going on in Kansas City, you fluke your way into one World Series and they think they're big shots, picking fights with everybody now

Well, I won't let my fear of Castro in the closer role ruin tonight's result. Sweeping the O's is always great.

Ventura starting another brawl. Not even Buck and the Orioles can match this.

Takes away from the game.
They seem to go to it more often this season too. The contrast between the red Honda brandmark & the new greener turf really hurts the eyes.

When you can't beat them, whine to MLB about their field. Buck Showalter's bull**** never stops.

I can't think of a ball game that has been decided because of the field rather than some brutal pitching, godly hitting and good range in the field. What could they possibly say? It's unsafe from a bad hop? That can happen on any field or last years turf as well. Hope the O's slump continues.

of course they complained because those b*tches got swept in embarrassing fashion and are all sour grapes about it. tampa took 3/4 here and we didn't hear a peep about the turf after. when a team sweeps us here and then gripes to the MLB after the fact then OK, but clearly this is just showalter being the insufferable old hag that he is

It's ridiculous. Should we stop playing in Fenway because of their ridiculous field dimensions? How about we boycott Houston's insane ACL-crushing center field gauntlet. Let's just not play in Oakland because you could fit another ballpark in their foul territory.

Every stadium is going to have some quirk and right now we have ours. I'm beginning to think we should just leave the turf and start thinking of creative ways to build a home field advantage as good as the Sox and Yanks short porches.

and if it's in regards to safety, boy that would be ironic -- considering how the O's bullpen had thrown behind one of if not our best player twice in as many games against us, but oh the seams on the turf are just too dangerous!
