John Gibbons Thread (+ Venting)

[RealAccountant]

Gibby is a very good player's manager so I m not surprised

 

He is just not a good in game strategist

[CrackerJack]

Favourite manager for other manager's to play against. Gibby makes it tough for them to lose!

 

yup, along with Bochy, Maddon, Francona & Showalter . . .

Navarro batting 4th, and DH vs Archer

Glad someone brought this thread back up.

 

Does anyone actually think Gibby will be managing this team next season?

I do. You guys really need to understand that being a manager isn't only about what moves he makes. We're not John Madden's Tampa rays where we need micro management to win games. If the players all show up we win. No extra management needed.

 

However we need a strong personality that's likeable and respected in the dressing room to keep all the egos in check. Because if that doesn't happen and there's conflicts in the dressing room, I doubt where even 5 games over .500. You guys think Bannister is a better manager than Francona? Of course not but his team has had a better record than him. Because the firepower of the Rangers is better and Bannister seems to be loved in the dugout.

 

We also seen the other side when Valintine took over the Sox and ran them into the ground. They were a great team on paper but people hated the atmosphere and coming to the park that they didn't preform. THATS what Gibby brings to the table

 

And do you guys actually think that with the new regime that they'd keep someone if they are underperforming? They just fired the entire scouting department basically and parts of the minor league development team. They arent scared to make moves. They wouldn't risk firing gibbons if it wasn't worth it to keep him

[RealAccountant]

Guy is a f***ing bafoon. If we don't win the division or the wild card it's BC we had this f***ing clown managing.

 

We should have a 3-4 game lead right now I can't even remember all the games the clown cost us this year

 

Horrible manager

It will be a different team next year maybe below .500

[glory]

This thread being bumped up is a thing of beauty.

 

Why Atkins hasn't stepped in and stopped this ******** is insane. The Jays are tied for first and they are letting this stupid Redneck cost the team runs on a daily basis.

[Jimcanuck]

Gibby isn't even good enough for 1B coach.

[candymartinez]

No reason to think that. Quit trolling.

[flafson]

Chubby did a pretty good job today.

[Jonn]

Chubby did a pretty good job today.

 

Sure still pretty stupid to have him DH and hit cleanup.

Unreal. Like I said the other day, I like to think Shapiro is smart enough that he's sitting there thinking "WTF is this guy doing?"

[flafson]

I don't know why you guys are making such a big deal out of it, Navarro has .976 OPS against Archer. As a team, the Jays have a .585 OPS average against Archer.

Obviously it's a small sample but it's still 22 AB's.

[G-Snarls]

Credit for pulling Happ today?

[Daniel Labude]

Credit for pulling Happ today?

 

Was it 80 or 85 pitches in like 2 1/3 innings. That had to be done no matter the manager.

Gibby leading the world in ejections. lol

Shatkins said the best thing about Gibby is his veterans management skills, I guess it involves standing up for your players and getting ejected. All part of the job.

Yah I didn't mean it was a bad thing. I'm glad he at least gives a s***, I just think it's funny.

[Jonn]

Now if only he could get ejected before he submits his lineup.

Blair calling for a Gibby extension

[SweetSmellingChacin]

Gibby's gut to get 4 year contract extension.

For being aggressive or for winning last night?

[fatcowxlive]

Fire Gibbons for not using Britto....

Imagine if it was Gibby

 

We'd be burning him at the stake

That's what I said yesterday. And rightfully so. I just posted in the Buck thread, but Gibbons did a great job managing the bullpen. So much so I wonder if someone else was helping with the decision. Gibbons was probably the one that wanted Stroman, and Shatkins probably agreed if only he's on a small leash and take him out when they say.
