John Gibbons Interview

[Omar]

A familiar face to Blue Jays fans everywhere, JOHN GIBBONS, joins Bob and John on the podcast to discuss some of Bob's favourite topics surrounding Major League Baseball.We learn about John's role with the Braves, the players John is scouting and who is easier to evaluate, Pitchers or position players?As today's show is about baseball, it is only natural that the gentleman spend some time on the pitching problem that is plaguing the league. Does the former manager think it's as much of a problem as the other two do? If so, how do we change it. Also in the show, the three cover the analytic side of the game, cheating, player management and is Mike Trout still the best in the game?

Oh man, this should be a good listen.

I would pay BIG money to get to watch John Gibbons view a Jays game while miked up and saying what he really thinks about the players quality of play and Charlie Montoyo's managing for an entire game

That interview pretty much confirms that all managers these days are just Yes Men that take orders from the front office and don't have any say in what goes on.

That was a good listen, miss that man, I'd give my left nut to have Gibby be our manager right now. lol.

Yeah, all teams have game plans analytically every day, whether you can stick to it in case things go array is a different story, they do take a lot out of their hands, though.

I'll throw in my right nut too and let's see if they accept the offer

[Krylian]

Gibby is such a good old boy. I'd be good with him coming back to manage this group.

 

That said, people who are balls deep into analytics and watch the game through a spreadsheet might have reservations about Gibby, who won't always follow the textbook.

[wilko]

Lean back Gibby! God bless em.

[Stangstag]

Good info from Gibby, but jesus Mccown is hard to listen to. Such an insufferable asshat that thinks he's so smart
