You realize he's overpaid, overrated, and we're stuck with this cancer for the foreseeable future?

 

10 games under .500 it's not even June yet, fans have the right to s*** on this garbage team.. #1moredecade..maybe?

 

and now you made it to the ignorant list.

 

there is a difference between objective displeasure and ignorant hate. you're a hater. at least I dont have to read any more of your posts.

 

you are the weakest link, goodbye

[LGBJ29]

Why not? You do what you can to win the f***ing game. Janssen won't be needed tomorrow, so rest or saving him for the Sox series wasn't the issue.

 

it wasnt a matter of rest or saving him for future games, it was about saving him for this game in case a save opportunity arose later. So we werent forced to use Lincoln as a closer

What does that have to do with anything? You commented on his pitching performance and I responded as to why it didn't make much sense.

[GeorgiaPeach]

no save opp

 

So then Casey's not as good as people have been talking him up then?

huhh? how do you get that? CJ has been the best and most consistent player on this team

[o2cui2i]

I agree, I was hoping he came back out when he was only at 110

 

I'm sure Dickey was as mad at Gibbons as Gibbons was at JPA and Loup.

[LGBJ29]

I'm sure Dickey was as mad at Gibbons as Gibbons was at JPA and Loup.

 

probably just as mad as he was in KC

What? So you prefer to use Lincoln with the game on the line and save our best reliever to start off a fresh inning with significantly less pressure? That is losing logic right there.

[LGBJ29]

Tommy Milone gets paid 495K

 

Do you see the problem now?

 

how many Cy Young awards has he won?

[LGBJ29]

Im not saying I prefer to, Im just saying the reason Gibby did what he did.

[o2cui2i]

he gets paid 5M a year, go away troll

 

he'll earn his salary. it's more whether what they gave up was worth it. I'd say that if the jays were an 85 win team this year, the dickey trade makes sense, but they are not looking like a 75 game winner now.

[gruber92]

So you would rather Janssen only used in save opps if it means the team loses more games?

 

Let's assume Jansen was brought in and he got out of the inning. Let's say we score a run and then Lincoln is ran out there for the save opportunity. Regardless of the outcome,most baseball people would be laughing at Gibby prior to the inning starting. Managers will not use their closers in a tie game on the road because of the fear of a blown save occurring from the non closer,especially the likes of Lincoln. Yes Cecil was also available. Mathematically over a larger sample size,you will lose more often when using your closer on the road in a tie game.

dude is a troll Chappy.... nothing but hate mongering.

[GeorgiaPeach]

dude is on troll watch. he's posted nothing but lame hate. I've got 4 people on the list already. pretty much figured out who all 4 are from old board. I'm sure they'll get banned soon enough.

 

I better see some bannings otherwise this forum isn't any better than the MLB forum.

[LGBJ29]

yeah kind of a playoffs or bust type of deal. I agree the trade price was too high, but that poster was talking about salary (5M), and i can confirm that with his stupid Tommy Milone comment

[OtisNixonFan]

I'm starting to not wanna watch these guys and that f***ing sucks. I'm headed to Tampa on Aug 17th for a three game set and almost feel like kyboshing it. If we hadn't of made these trades, nor were hyped as we were, It would be a hell of a lot easier. f***.

[LGBJ29]

anyways guys, 8 AM comes fast, better hit the hay. See you all for the shalacking were gonna get tomorrow

[o2cui2i]

there needs to be some room for free speech and opinions, but his kind of flaming is just ignorant. there are still a couple of them. I'm sure Chappy is close to giving him a tap on the head with the hammer. lol

[LGBJ29]

It's not surprising to you that 5M was the best offer for a cy young winner with no playoff experience... just stop

 

he wasnt a free agent genius

[GeorgiaPeach]

So you would rather Janssen only used in save opps if it means the team loses more games?

 

I f***ing hate posters/fans who think, the closer can only be used in save situations.

[LGBJ29]

ok before I go how do you set someone to ignore? this guy is borderline retarded

[o2cui2i]

anyways guys, 8 AM comes fast, better hit the hay. See you all for the shalacking were gonna get tomorrow

 

8am is in 75 minutes. lol

 

tomorrow is another day. hope it ends happier than this one.

[LGBJ29]

how on earth do you watch games being 6 hours ahead?

[o2cui2i]

I f***ing hate posters/fans who think, the closer can only be used in save situations.

 

use the best guy to get the outs to give you a chance to win. sometimes the game gets saved in the 7th by getting to the 9th with a lead. today was a bad decision lifting Dickey. unless Dickey comes out and says he had nothing left, I'll put this loss on Gibbons.

[o2cui2i]

how on earth do you watch games being 6 hours ahead?

 

I have no life. lol

[GeorgiaPeach]

at the same time tho Casey could have come in, done his thing, and later in the game when a save opportunity arises, we're forced to bring in Lincoln. If Lincoln blows the save, everyone talks about how horribly Gibby managed his pen

 

That's what casual fans do. You know the fans that need their f***ing opinions kept to themselves people.

And seeing as the fanbase is littered with f***ing retard fans it gives me the right to s*** on you.

[LGBJ29]

true enough. I think many managers would have played it the same way though. You see it all the time where managers wait to use their closer until they have the lead on the road. Im not saying I necessarily agree with it, its just how it is generally played

[GeorgiaPeach]

he gets paid 5M a year, go away troll

 

5M in 2013, 12M in 2014 & 2015. 12M club option in 2016 with a (1M buyout)

[o2cui2i]

And seeing as the fanbase is littered with f***ing retard fans it gives me the right to s*** on you.

 

Everyone is entitled to flame and maybe have 1 in 50 hate rate to their posts. it's the 50 for 50 haters that just make things unpleasant.
