My gripe with Buck is his effectiveness.
You are right he does not pick players and cannot control injuries but he can control how his team prepares, executes, fundamentals.

Many teams go thru adversity and it is the manager to manage and just this year I do not think he is getting thru to his team to at least hustle, play disciplined baseball, more effort and better defense

And the reality baseball is a what have you done for me lately. And sadly lately his team does not look as effective as it could be.
