2015 Annual Win Prediction Thread

[Angrioter]

90 wins!

 

80 Wins!!!

 

Too late for you.

[Horses Fart]

Too late for you.

 

waa?

[JuniorFelix]

Too late for you.

 

noooooooo!

[CrackerJack]

I think it'll be in the high 80s. Saw Eric Lindros this weekend, so i'll go with 88.

[Horses Fart]

Too late for you.

 

Why is it to late for us? Doesn't say a deadline anywhere.

[glory]

I'll make a win prediction and go one step further.

 

Gibbons will be fired in May when the team is a few games under .500. DeMarlo Hale (or whoever the bench coach is) takes over. Jays finish the year with 89 wins and make the post-season after a huge 2nd half.

 

I don't know if that's a prediction or me just wanting a different manager, but I'll roll with it. If I'm wrong, I'll just deny ever typing it.

so you want a new manager but aren't you implying that the manager makes no/little difference if the team gets red hot with "whoever the bench coach is" as the interim skipper?

I never said a manager matters. I just don't like John Gibbons and the organization's love affair with him.

[SumoNinja]

85 wins.

[Candy Maldonado]

89 wanks

[JaysAllMighty]

92 wins. I refuse not to believe in my Jays.

[havok24]

88 wins

Well, If a manager doesn't matter then why does it matter who they have a love affair with?

 

If you banged a chick frequently from 2005-08, and she was mediocre in bed to the point where you had to dump her, then why would you start doing her again in 2013 when the chick you were with left you for a better man? I hope that analogy works better than "he was a terrible on field manager in 2008 and no other team would touch him so why go back to him?".

 

Gibbons will never get another MLB job as a manager. Never. Ever. On any team. A bench coach? Possibly, but that's it. He's not coveted. Go elsewhere. Anywhere else. Try something new. The Jays got burned by Farrell and went right back to the chick who is always free on Friday night's and doesn't require dinner/drinks/dancing to give it up. OK, I need to stop this analogy before I picture Gibbons in a dress.

Gross, are you implying that Farrell was a decent manager? Good lord no. No. NO.... *inserts that Steve Carrell gif of him screaming no*

 

Gibbons > Farrell as a manager, and it's not close.

These people who get so hung up on managers are hilarious.

[Caper]

89.4 wins. I'm using a system called "The Hurl" correction factor (being 1.0779221) to arrive at 89.4. Stroman coming back in September could get us to 90.

[GD]

Just gonna bump this for Caper

 

Can I say 86.5 or would that be too nerdy

Well considering it's a "Win Prediction Thread", it would just be f***ing stupid.

[GD]

Welcome to the idiot prediction club. Where the goal is to never win.

 

You just posted faster than me. Time to reconsider your life.

Sorry. I just pasted what the calculator spit out. 90 wins... I believe.

No, Farrell was bad too, but he was a first time manager learning the ropes and even then I think he's a better option than Gibbons. I don't get the hype with Gibbons. What is so good about him? At least Farrell came from a player development background. I'd trust him managing a team way before I trust Elmer Fudd.

Gibbons doesn't make too many egregious mistakes, and that's about all you can ask from a manager. Pretty goddamn dumb starting Navarro over Smoak today, but at least he's pretty decent at line-up construction and bullpen management, which is where most manager mistakes are made.

[aselvana]

75 wins, everyone gets fired.

[bowld]

84 wins

And the whole situation with the backup catcher who feels entitled to more (and possibly has been promised more) isn't of Gibbons' creation.
