Orioles manager Buck Showalter is often regarded as one of baseball's best strategists. He's frequently praised for the way in which he manages a bullpen and how he's able to put his team in a position to win close ballgames.
But that praise took a backseat to heaping mounts of criticism on a local and national level when Showalter elected not to use All-Star closer Zach Britton during the Orioles' American League Wild Card loss to the Toronto Blue Jays Oct. 4.
Showalter spoke about dealing with the criticism he faced following the game when he joined Stan "The Fan" Charles and Craig Heist during the Oct. 29 edition of " The Bat Around."
