I Think It's Safe To Say Zack Britton Still Fucking Despises Buck Showalter

So today Zack(h) Britton decided he was going to change the spelling of his first name. Alright, not something I saw coming but whatever gets me ground balls and strikeouts I’m here for. An O’s fan tweeted at him his postseason jersey from 2015 with Britton’s autograph. That sparked a fantastic A+ tweet from the Yankees reliever.

As you may recall, Buck Showalter did not use Zack(h) Britton in the 2015 postseason because using the best reliever in the game that year who put together one of the more dominant seasons we’ve ever seen, seemed like a bad idea to Buck in a tied do or die Wild Card game. Safe to say Britton hasn’t forgiven Buck.

Hold onto that grudge as long as humanly possible. I didn’t know Britton had this in him, but I respect it.
