Stop with the semantics, you know what he means, stop being a jerk like me?

 

P.S. I like BC, he's a good guy from the old board.

No I didn't. The Joe Torre comment was obvious hyperbole, the post wasn't angry at all and I wasn't only responding to him. Then there was the Joe Carter comment that I didn't really understand.

Seemed over the top at Glory to me...whatever.

 

Was agreeing with you Cito's move re:Carter.

Reyes back in the lineup ... Bautista back in the outfield ... and (most importantly) the starting pitching staying steady ... and the Jays are capable of reeling off 10 in a row with or without Gibbons.

 

With the flux of the AL East, it's a real possibility. The division is utter trash right now.. with no clear cut contender. Yanks are fading as badly as the Jays, BTW.. 1-9 in their last 10. But that's more due to Ellsbury's injury and a lack of pitching depth.. Boston's still a question mark, no idea on the O's, and I can't see Tampa holding up long term due to inconsistent offense and a weak rotation after Archer and Odorizzi(and BTW, they stupidly sent down Tim Beckham because he had options, and their bullpen is REALLY taxed.. most innings in the AL, because of lack of length after Archer/Odorizzi.)

Oh...Joe Carter? My mistake.

I think it is time to axe AA....No Manager can win a division with this rotation. He is responsible for building this rotation and didn't put a contingency plan in place this year if his young guys faltered.

Look what Kevin Cash is doing with the Rays. Cash was the one who fixed Carrasco in Cleveland, and suggested the Indians get Gomes from the Jays. That team that some predicted to fail will probably win the division with worse injuries than the Jays.

 

No wonder this franchise sucks. We have people willing to look stupid to defend John f'n Gibbons, when other teams hire managers that make players better.

Carrasco credits Cash for his turnaround, and it's been reported that Cash was behind Cleveland acquiring Gomes.

 

Or were you laughing because you read one of your own posts, and quoted mine by accident?

Cash was first hired by the jays as a scout. This franchise has done poorly I'm recognizing and assessing internal talent

This thread shall live on as long as Gibby is still employed.

 

Demarlo can't possibly be worse than the wobbly redneck. Make the change now, and then thank me after the 2nd half run.

Ignore the fact that Loup has pitched pretty well this year...

 

He has, but his xFIP against righties versus 0.61 points higher. If you regress that appropriately, I would think there is still a difference, which makes it confusing as to why Loup has faced 26 lefties to 51 righties.

He's being grossly mismanaged.

I believe he has cost more games than he has won via coaching. That is usually a good recipe for getting fired. Unless of course you have photos of AA in a compromising position.

We are getting closer to my "fire Gibby and go on a 2nd half run" prediction. Just a matter of how long the Fat Greek wants to wait. If he waits too long, he will have wasted a golden opportunity.

Not really with our current roster. No pitching, no hitting, no defense. The roster is horrible, but so is Gibbons.
