Since Buck Showalter has taken over the Orioles, they have been playing fantastic baseball, winning three straight series, going 8-1 as of August 12th. And I have and as well as probably almost everyone else who follows the O's closely is wondering how much of this is a result of Buck taking over the team and how much is other factors like really good luck and things of that variety. So I'm curious Camden Chat, how much of sudden improvement in play be attributed to our new manager, Buck Showalter on a scale of 1 to ten, 1 being "Juan Samuel/Dave Trembley could have done this" and 10 being "This 100% Buck, it's not luck or anything like that it's solely Buck leading us to these victories!" I would say a 7, I feel Buck definitely has improved the players, but  not to the point where he could make Freddie Bynum (interesting example, I know) an All-Star,  but there's a clear correlation between him taking over and our improvement.
