This collapse is so much more devastating because it took us so long (20+ years) to get to this level of play, and will now most likely be over after this year for another long period of time.

 

Not much faith in Shapiro eh

[Effit]

f***ing trash

Lots of faith. But it is going to take some time

[Horses Fart]

Bahahahah. U gotta laugh at that s***.

[o2cui2i]

FFS

 

this is painful...

[saskjayfan]

wtf is gibby doing bringing in the rookie in a spot you have to hold

[vdubmvp]

I like this guy.

 

Yeah, really. I feel like he came out of nowhere but he needs to stick around.

[Governator]

Nice knowin ya Dermody.

[CHRIS]

How do you go to Dermody there?

[TheHurl]

Please, please stop arguing about the bunt!! Set up a new thread if you care so much.

 

god forbid the GDT be littered with baseball strategy talk. Do not start a new thread based on this stuff.

[RealAccountant]

What a dumb f***ing pitching change

[Angrioter]

Dermody?

[KevinGregg]

How do you go to Dermody there?

 

Gibby getting a look at his new guys as usual

[candymartinez]

Is anyone going to actually stay up late to watch the games vs the Angels? I don't know if I can handle that. This is getting too depressing.

[glory]

Nice Gibbons. Bring in a s***** Sept call up in a 2 run game.

 

Only 3 more weeks and Gibbons never manages again. One can only dream. Obviously my dream of the Jays winning the WS and firing Gibby the next morning is not going to happen.

Pretty sure it's over for him and this era for Jays

That would be fine if this was 2008 and we were 12 games back of a playoff spot

[HERPDERP]

Anyone going to Seattle that wants to buy my 1 ticket?

[TheHurl]

Maybe Tommy Lasorda had something with not having a Left Handed Reliever. I'm neither an opponent or proponent of Gibbons, but he seems like a guy who is at his best when his options are limited.

[RealAccountant]

Looks like team has checked out

[BTS]

Wo, Jays could end the day just 1 game up on New York and 1.5 up on Seattle. I hadn't realized how close things had become.

[Blue Jays Molly]

This team's season is toast. They will not make the playoffs, and Gibbons will be fired. Hope I'm wrong... except maybe the Gibbons part.

[over500]

Well, we can't even score 5 runs in a series. Game over and another series loss.

[HERPDERP]

"its ok guys, its only September 14"

[Belliss101]

The dream is dead. A devastating day in this team's history

[fatcowxlive]

Wow, by your sweet logic, every single pitcher will throw a perfect game every single game. Look, you're wrong about a decrease in WPA% being unimportant. It is. It was a mistake to bunt, end of story. Reasoning that 'well it was only a SMALL mistake, and therefore unimportant' is just silly. Numbers aren't things that you get to employ when they're convenient and ignore when they aren't.

Not sure if you can read properly or not. I clearly said sacrificing is bad. Literally bolded it and put it in big text for you. All I'm saying put context in the situation. This is all in reference to a site you used to back up your point, which takes all the runs scored by teams in situations across a 5 year period, acting as if situations for each team are the same.

 

And for the record my stance on the bunt, once again, isn't praising, all I'm saying is that didn't look like a sacrifice attempt. You can get on base with a bunt single if placed well enough and it was, Cobb made a good play on the ball and it was bang bang at first.

[TheHurl]

This could be payback for me saying last year that it would be a successful season for the Rays if they knock the Jays out of the playoffs. Damn Karma!

[GoJays1562]

lol it's all going wrong jesus.

[Belliss101]

Going to suck not having a horse in the race this October

[Candy Maldonado]

holy f***
