John Gibbons Shockingly Bad Thread

[jerry]

Gibbons is on short leash hopefully

[ValiantJaysFan]

I can see Gibbons being on a short leash this season and any small glimmer of failure he could be gone which means whether you like it or not next season Shapiro will get his wish and be reunited with Francona

 

I'd love Francona

[intentional wok]

For this thread to be useful the OP needs to tally all the bullet points and date them for easy access. I want to come back here in July and know exactly what day and time Gibby pulled the Leon stunt.

 

We need a higher standard of shrill bitching around here.

[Dr. Dinger]

quit while you're behind

 

I usually finish while I'm behind hiyoooooooooo

[Cyborg]

I'm sorry, but I must to condition the event as such.

 

Jose + one out + runners 1B-2B or Donaldson + one out + runner 2B >> Pillar + no outs + Runner first.

 

Runners at the corners with 0 out and JD and JB due up >>>> Runner at 2B and one out with JD and JB due up.

[Maahfaace]

I'd love Francona

 

He's pissed about not being able to dip it hard all game

[Terminator]

I don't really give a s*** what Gibbons does with the lineup but pitching Leon in a high leverage situation with an off day tomorrow might be some of the worst bullpen management I've ever seen.

 

I'm trying to think of what Gibbons could have done there that would have been a worse move and aside from doing something stupid like putting Smoak in as a defensive replacement in CF for Pillar or something outrageous I can't come up with anything.

 

Completely indefensible.

I was going to make that joke before remembering that you're a bottom

[jimmygibbssr]

I was reading along to to what was happening in class and I thought it was a joke when I heard Gibby went to Leon in the situation. Can't believe he's actually that stupid.

[BTS]

Storen throws one inning in the last five days. Unavailable.

add Pillar to your equation. He suxxx right now

[Cyborg]

Even if Storen, Cecil, and Chavez were unavailable, there was no reason to take Floyd out. He had BABIP sinlges and 3 Ks.

[Boxcar]

Even if Storen, Osuna, and Chavez were unavailable, there was no reason to take Floyd out. He had BABIP sinlges and 3 Ks.

 

Such a stupid fallacy. A guy could give up 3 seeing eye singles and need to be taken out, but will get left in after 3 100 mph liners that all get caught.

[Dr. Dinger]

Even if Storen, Osuna, and Chavez were unavailable, there was no reason to take Floyd out. He had BABIP sinlges and 3 Ks.

 

Souza was probably 0-3 in 3 AAA ABs against Leon or something.

[intentional wok]

Souza was probably 0-3 in 3 AAA ABs against Leon or something.

 

All warning track flyouts. Outs are outs though. "He kept de ball in de ballpark, cain't ask for more than that when it gets right down to it gotta battle"

[Terminator]

Did Gibbons address Leon pitching in the most critical spot in the game yet?

[G-Snarls]

I never complain about Gibby but today not usi g Storen in the 8th just WTF

[jimmygibbssr]

Can't wait for his post game interview.

[RIPEXPOS]

He mentioned that Storen had been up a few times this series, but then clearly stated that "he wanted to get a look at the new guys". Absolutely insane.

[Laika]

Yeah I figure that he wanted to get as many relievers as he could into the first series. He probably felt bad about having not called on several of them yet.

 

lol

lol how many times does it have to be said he wasn't available. If the training staff tells Gibby Storen isn't available theres nothing he can do. The annoying thing was taking out floyd for Leon while Osuna was still in the pen.

Well it's not like these games matter.

[jimmygibbssr]

Even if you don't want Osuna to get a 5 out save I would much rather have Leon in the 9th with no one on. Or Biagini. Or anyone, really.

Gibby said Storen was "hot" 2x in 3 days, so didn't want to go to him. “You kill ‘em now & you got nothing." #BlueJays

Storen has one year of control. Ride him into the f***ing ground!

 

Oh man baseball

In the first series of the season.. Truly amazing stuff.

[JFD]

Souza was probably 0-3 in 3 AAA ABs against Leon or something.

 

Gibby would never know details like that. lol

[RIPEXPOS]

Gibby clearly went with "his gut" and thought it would be good to "get a look at" Leon in the 8th inning of a 1 run game. f***ing brutal.

[Angrioter]

I need to tweet that. sorry.

That's not how it works. Gibby wasn't explicitly ordered not to use Storen.
