either Sosh or Showalter a solid choice in my book.

 

Showalter gets the nod because, unlike the Halos and their payroll  and team, not too many folks picked the O's to do much this year and they pretty much ran away with the AL East all season long.

Showalter's acceptance of the award was delayed as he was making another pitching change.

Who the hell picked the Angels to get the most wins in baseball. They were picked to come in third. They had a losing season the year before and lost 40% of their starting rotation. Hell who would have thought that the Angels would only lose two games in Richards spot in the rotation after the injury?

either Sosh or Showalter a solid choice in my book.

Nice work this year skipper.

well Sosh did a fine job this year and the Halos certainly suffered set back with their rotations.......

 

but a lot of folks pre-season were talking about an all - S. Cal World Series -- so there were expectations out there that the Halos would certainly be in the hunt.

 

I don't think many folks had Baltimore running away with the AL East and having the best record in the AL (and MLB) for most of the season before the Halos over-took them with a red hot stretch run from mid-August on...........

 

Sosh deserved and would have been a solid pick.

 

IMO, Showalter's work this year was more deserving of the award.
