GDT - Blue Jays @ Rays game 4 of 4 (1:10 ET)

[HERPDERP]

I would be more angry over this game than last night's

[Stangstag]

Were Smoak and Saunders unavailable too? Come on Gibby.

 

Saunders definitely unavailable

[Dr. Dinger]

Were Smoak and Saunders unavailable too? Come on Gibby.

 

Saunders was probably unavailable, so you can't pinch-hit for Carrera! Because god forbid you have to play Colabello in LF for an inning on the off-chance you actually tie the game, that would be untenable.

[ValiantJaysFan]

Saunders was unavailable yes but why not bring in Smoak for zeke I have no idea

 

Well y'know we want them to have fresh legs, we really do.

[jaysfan2014]

Well, Leon just booked a DFA after that outing.

[Jonn]

Let's hire him as manager

 

At the very least he wouldn't hit Pillar lead off.

[Angrioter]

Smoak and Saunders' wife uses dresses, and Gibbons hate dresses.

[CJ-Freeway]

Season over?

 

Calm down lol

[Governator]

Another really s***** loss. This one on Gibbons.

 

80% Gibbons 15% Leons Furniture and 5% Floyd

[Jim_Ackers_balls]

Same ********.

 

No bullpen. Jays can only score runs on home runs.

[ValiantJaysFan]

Ross Atkins, probably: "All I saw today were sunshine and rainbows and positives. We had a positive experience in Tampa. Everyone's been great. We're all about opportunity, right? So, it was positive to see Leon get an opportunity to pitch in a high leverage situation against a divisional rival. The important thing is that he learns from this experience and takes the positives out of the situation."

[Pendleton]

Definitely a questionable decision from Gibby, I feel like Floyd could have stayed in to get us to Osuna.

 

That being said, on a day when two of your high leverage relievers are unavailable, one 4th inning home run (from a guy not even healthy enough to finish the game) isn't going to cut it.

[Stangstag]

I still don't see why Storen was unavailable. We have an offday tomorrow

[KinofChaos]

Jays will get two guy s on with no outs and fail to move them over our get any runs. Classic jays

 

 

Yep frustrating.

[burlingtonbandit]

Lmao what? He's been hitting line drives all over the place.

 

He did have 1 ball that should have been a HR but he's struck out 5/12 times. And in the spring he certainly didn't hit well either (It is spring, I know). I know SSS and all but I'm just saying he hasn't looked good.

[KinofChaos]

We have an off day tomorrow, there is no exucse for Gibby today, atrocious. Wish they fired this clown in the offseason.

[BTS]

Is Storen hurt or something? I'm sorry, but he threw one inning on Monday, it's now Wednesday, and there's an off day tomorrow. I know he warmed yesterday, but come on.

[burlingtonbandit]

Warmed up last night and pitched the night before. Don't forget its a day game today so you lose 6 hours rest you normally would have.

John Gibbons, we have one of the worst managers in baseball in a contending year, heck we beat KC with a better manager in the ALCS imo.

[intentional wok]

Atkins just sent Gibby an email about using Leon but Gibby will never get it because he hasn't checked jgibbons17@yahoo.com in weeks.

[ValiantJaysFan]

$8.34 million a year. Suck it up and get three outs. If he can't throw one inning because he warmed up the day before we have a bigger issue.

[jerry]

At least gibbons didn't waste any time showing shapiro how brutal he is managing the pen

[Stangstag]

Yeah its ********. Especially after the "wearing dresses" comment yesterday.

Gibbons just discovered ICQ

f*** storen then - bring out osuna so he can K the two scrubs the Rays had coming out then bring in Leon for the 9th to try and close it.

[burlingtonbandit]

If he blew his arm out today you'd be the one saying he should have rested. Pitchers lose effectiveness pitching 3 days in a row and I don't see how much money he makes is relevant.

[intentional wok]

I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt that there was a reason re: Storen. If Gibby's so "methodical" that he refused to use Osuna until the 9th, there has to be a reason Storen wasn't even warming for the 8th. If there's no reason, then I don't even know what to say to that.

[burlingtonbandit]

f*** storen then - bring out osuna so he can K the two scrubs the Rays had coming out then bring in Leon for the 9th to try and close it.

 

Thats what I would have done.

If he blew his arm out today because he warmed up yesterday, I'd be complaining that we traded for someone who can't pitch in a key situation because he warmed up a day earlier.

No, then he was going to blow his arm out anyway.
