He will take a win over a "save"


After the Orioles 6-3 win over the Angels, Orioles new manager, Buck Showalter was asked about the way he handled the late-inning relief duties because if he had handled the substitutions just a little differently either Michael Gonzalez or Alfredo Simon could have gotten a "save".

"Believe me, I know the save rule and, quite frankly, it doesn't carry much weight with me. I like the win rule a little bit better."

Give that guy a lifetime contract!

Pay him whatever he wants!

Better yet would be a manager who has never heard of the save rule but you can't have everything, I know.
