GDT: Jays VS Rangers Game 1 of 4

[TheHurl]

Don't worry I'll be at the game tomorrow to go 0-8

 

I am 2-0. We'll have to go to the same game and see who's power is greater

[Angrioter]

Goins es horrible. Maldito cabrón.

[jackie]

many managerial blunders in this one. Yet the media who loves Gibbons won't focus on that .

[intrigid]

Lol the Jamie and Greg bobbleheads are wearing the same color suits as Jamie and Greg

[Praxis]

Zaun highlighting all the errors: Saunders not tagging, Goins not bunting then f***ing up the bunt later on.

 

f***, this just sucks.

[EdwinsParrot]

Looking forward to kershaw's 20k game this weekend

[Terminator]

So is this what the team really is? Or should we still have hope?

 

There is definitely hope.

 

The bullpen may not be great but I think the offense can get it going.

[KinofChaos]

How much longer do we go without making some moves? benching goins should be a start, nothing more frustrating watching a team suck at the basics.

[jackie]

when the season started I thought gibbons would be gone 1/3 into the season may happen sooner than that

Barney should be in the lineup. Gibbons being Gibbons.

[burlingtonbandit]

So our bullpen, outside of Osuna, has got to be 0-10 or something like that? Horrible. I know our offense sucks but the pen can't hold off the opposing teams when we're tied or we have a lead.

 

Think it has more to do with the offense not being able to score more than anything. Always seems to be a tie game and the Jays can't score then the pen gives up a run in the 7th and we lose.

 

Bullpen hasn't been good but offence is why the team keeps losing.

[CJ-Freeway]

Bench goins the f*** down pls Gibby. Motherf***er can't even BUNT.

[BlueJayWay]

Another awful loss. 2-7 in 1 run games lol.

They're bad every year in one run games. At this point everyone expects it.

[43211234]

Goins is trash. This team is trash.

 

Just a ridiculous season.

[intentional wok]

Mazara won this game for the Rangers. The homer and the throw.

 

Yeah, but no way should he have been the deciding factor. The Jays' hitters are indefensibly bad right now.

[RealAccountant]

If the Rangers sweep us, there is a good chance Gibby is finished.

Yeah been a trend, Jays score early then offense disappears, other teams seem to chip away and score late. Been a shitshow so far.

[Stangstag]

when the season started I thought gibbons would be gone 1/3 into the season may happen sooner than that

 

There's no way Gibbons gets fired mid-season unless the team is like 20 games under .500 at the all star break. Not gonna happen

You're right, but still, the pen shouldn't be that bad. It's like EVERY time the game is tied, they give up a run instantly. Every single time, and that cost us 10 games or so. The offense shouldn't put them in that situation but hey, it's their job to hold off the other team and they can't do it. Can't win with a weak pen.

 

But yeah obviously the offense suxxx as well.

[KinofChaos]

They're bad every year in one run games. At this point everyone expects it.

 

Is it a mental issue or just bad luck or bad managing? Maybe combination of everything.

[TheHurl]

They hadn't missed the playoffs for 22 years in a row....so not that bad?

 

in fact they made the playoffs the first year I became a Rays fan. I said I'd go back to the Jays once AA is gone...but there might be too much AA still here to truly like this team, I am trying though. Seriously though, every Jays fan was positive it was DejaVu and it turned out to be so deflating. That makes me laugh a little.

 

For the record (for the person that did it), reporting the lead mod, is about as futile as Goins hitting

[RealAccountant]

I just dont understand how so many great hitters, with such great track records could be so bad for such an extended period of time. Something is seriously wrong here, either that or they have all declined after the height of last year. What we are looking at now is the remains.

Lol that's hilarious

[RealAccountant]

ter the game, an argument in the clubhouse took place between Hillenbrand and manager John Gibbons over Hillenbrand allegedly writing defamatory comments about the team on the clubhouse billboard ("This is a sinking ship" and "Play for yourself") after batting practice. This led to a confrontation between Hillenbrand and Gibbons.[3]

 

Hillenbrand has denied writing the third message, which read, "This is a sinking ship." Zaun couldn't confirm that Hillenbrand had written that part of the note, either, but Gibbons said that was what caused him to confront the designated hitter.

It could be that Bautista/Encarnacion are just off to slow starts. Tulo of 2015 was bad and nothing like his previous self, but this year he is worse. I think Martin is/was on PED's. Smoak was overrated last year and he's still bad. Pillar has actually been doing well.

 

I think this team is too passive. Even the pitches to E5 for his last at bat were balls he could have done damage. But he is too passive. It's either walk or double/homer for him.

Yeah agree. Shapkins inherited this core. He's not going to hire his own guy to manage this group. Once real changes happen (either after the season or mid-season if they are out of it), then we might see a managerial change.

[KinofChaos]

4 guys on the Jays still hitting below .200...ouch.

[vdubmvp]

Am I the only one that enjoyed that a little? Dyson getting a little redemption, Bannister showing that he has a sense of humour. Crowd having the life sucked right out of them.

 

You need to just shut up sometimes.

Russell Martin has been an Borderline Elite Catcher for a decade, I think its in poor form to say that he was on PEDs.

Was that the year Price made his debut?
