[Mikeleelop]

Ee !

[Spanky99]

Eddy killed that!!

[bluebird]

[Candy Maldonado]

Angrioter got 16 pts

[Praxis]

Well that died in a hurry. Funny I seem to remember saying that yesterday....

[Dylan]

Big hr points for ang

[jaysfan2014]

Please DFA Jeff Francis and fire Pete Walker! We can't continue going on like this if we're going to contend. Hate to say it, but I agree with all of you.. that was a stupid move to give Jeff Francis the 6th inning vs. the lefties. He has nothing left in the tank.. get someone else up here who can actually give innings. Bring Jenkins or Copeland or somebody back up here..

[Spanky99]

Jesus Spanky...err... Do you ever post anything that requires an IQ over 4 to post?

 

*sighs*

[JohnnyLonghorn]

Lol EE makes it close. If only we didn't concede 2 HRs in the 6th. Just as questionable as Gibby's decision to bring out Francis in a one run ball game was his choice to leave Hendricks in the game after he got squared up hard on consecutive batters.

[ScientificReason]

*sighs*

 

Truth hurts. The last 3 years this board said the team is good enough to win and it wasn't. It was clear to anyone with an semblance of a baseball IQ the pitching was not good enough. Speaking the truth = troll to you. It's sad.

If only my Aunt had a dick, she'd be my uncle?

[jaysfan2014]

What's your bet they're doing the same whining we are on the O's boards? They've got pretty much the same record as us.. and they're at high risk of being swept by the Angels this weekend, especially considering both Norris and Tillman were scratched due to illness and injury. Luckily, the Jays avoid Garrett Richards next series.

[CJ-Freeway]

Most on this board don't know what they are talking about most of the time. I was clear even before stromans injury pitching was a weak spot and we need to improve it. Most on this board argued it was good enough.

 

Yeah when I tried to point out that our pitching sucked, I got called names too. Go figure.

[Top 10 Personal Catcher]

Good thing Gibbons benched Edwin for Smoak because he was 5-11 off Feldman!

 

Wilner's view on Gibbons' decisions. Sorry, I don't know how to embed a tweet...

. @agdmills @bradyfan590 Then go over his tenure and find the head-scratching decisions. There might be a dozen.

[JohnnyLonghorn]

Lol this lady on Wilner's show told him everybody on the message boards was cringing when Francis came in and predicted what would happen and Mike's response was that the internet always cringes and predicts bad results no matter who comes in.

[Zaun of the Dead]

When Stroman got hurt I pointed out serious problems with our rotation and bullpen. I also got laughed at and some dude literally said "There is no bullpen depth issue."

 

just because you've been posting on this board for years don't mean you know the game inside and out.

[Zaun of the Dead]

this team is a mess.

Wilner's an idiot. Anyone who's seen Francis in recent years knew he was going to get pounded vs. Houston's offense. They really need to get someone else in that long relief role.

[jaysfan2014]

this team is a mess.

 

As is Baltimore, Oakland, Seattle, Cleveland, Chicago (AL)...

[FrozenRopes]

Whatever happened to our deep prospect pool? Great young pitching, great young hitters? We get this garbage. AA is trying to build an all Canadian Olympic team or something.

 

IMHO changes need to happen. AA and JG need to go.

Only John Gibbons and Pete Walker. Our farm is still light years ahead of 2009, when it ranked near the bottom because of JPR's terrible drafting.

[FireAlexAnthopoulos]

All of them have made the playoffs more recently than us. Our current on-field product is just a small fraction of the mess.

Who decided Pete was the right guy for the job? When did he ever know how to pitch? Might as well make Ricky Romero the pitching coach. Too soon?

[FrozenRopes]

I went to games in 93 and 94. I am from the west coast. I watch every inning every year. This team has serious issues. The pitching has been dreadful for years.

 

Looking at the whip and era of our 5 starters, heads have to roll. Hire the guy Boston just fired as pitching coach.

Not sure if that's a good idea.. the pitching in Boston is just as dreadful as the Jays, with any recent strong performance not being convincing due to the fact they've been playing horrible teams in Oakland and Seattle. Juan Nieves got fired because Boston's pitching has been dreadful post-2013. And that team has just as serious problems as the Jays, starting with that terrible manager..

[SAAviour]

First game of the year I didn't watch, felt great. Same thing tomorrow. Why Francis is on this team is beyond belief, it really is.

I'm ready for heads to roll. Start with gibbons, I was a fan but he seems to be getting worse every game.

True, true, it was somewhat in jest. I just think this theory of going the same route over and over is something that had to change. When Gregg Zaun is right, you know there is a problem.
