Fire John Schneider

[wilko]

I've lost A LOT of respect for the posters dissing Gibby in this thread. A LOT.

 

I'm about to DDoS this site!

It's probably warranted tbh. Mods need to nip this in the bud asap with bans or it could get ugly fast.

Gibby was a moron, i remember a game (2015) vs the Yankees in a pivotal September game, 8th inning with Ellsbury, McCann and Beltran coming up (all lefties).

 

The guy has prime Brett Cecil in his pen, Gibby decides to go with Aaron Sanchez because he's his "8th inning guy" who promptly walks the first 2 batters.

 

Cecil eventually comes in and cleans up the mess but he should never have been put in that position to begin with. Point is, Gibby domb/overrated

 

The door is on the left. I suggest you show yourself out.

Judge not great on sliders. I liked Bass vs Judge last night. Rizzo crowds the plate and gets hit a lot. He also walks a lot. Mayza has a lot of run on his pitches and it's a dangerous cocktail with no place to put Rizzo. With bases loaded I liked Bass there. But I also understand don't let Judge beat you. It worked out and it was a W so it looks brilliant. Props to Schneider for having balls either way.

Also we had already used Cimber, Garcia, and Bass. Why keep depleting our pen for one game. Roll the dice and if you win, great. Either way you end it soon. If not get after it for the next two games.

I thought they could have just done the old unintentional intentional walk thing with Judge. Throw him all sliders off the plate, see if he gets himself out.

 

But then you risk hanging one.

 

Mayza is nails against lefties though. The talent gap between Rizzo and Judge is massive. Mayza and Bass are about the same. So I think the move makes sense if the goal is to get out of the inning without giving up ANY runs. The interesting thing to me would be to math out the run expectancy though. Like there is a chance that they increased their odds of giving up NO RUNS while actually increasing their expected runs against, if that makes any sense.

Awesome. He had to same curiosity as me. Can't see his work of course, but I believe the results.

I saw the tweet on my home page and immediately thought of your post. Hah!

[Stangstag]

 

5head move

Blake is good. Jays talk PLUS is good. He is a numbers guy. I yield on this one. They made the right call.

Yep Blake is good. I sent him a message of encouragement a little while back telling him he is the best baseball guy on the station.

[Laika]

I thought he was a basketball guy through and through?

[BigCecil]

He is a big basketball fan but also some great baseball stuff on his pod. Drills into the numbers and looks under the hood. Mixed in with a nice dose of unabashed Jays fandom.

Oh yeah, I know(follow him), that's why I saw it, he's a pretty smart cat. I found it funny as he mentioned the exact same thing, Laika said. Haha!

[Spanky99]

Nah, both. He's a good follow.

[Masterbather]

Meh. Don't care, not on him ultimately. Front office owns this.

[Fastball21]

Um, Schneider is only our interim manager, he won't be back next year.

[Krylian]

Do we really believe that Schneider has cart blanche or was it an organizational decision for how to manage the pitching?

[bones10]

Every single move he made blew up in his face pretty remarkable.

Nahhh that seemed like very inexperienced manager trykng to save bullets for the next game type moves.

[RobinThicc]

Enough of white charlie montoyo.

[THANOS]

This is mostly on Atkins for the BP he built.

[dineke]

Don't really see the point unless they bring in Terry Francona or John Gibbons.

[Solaxys]

 

Greatest move by a manager in the history of this team's baseball.

 

What in the literal f***.

[G-Snarls]

Not a WS caliber bulpen

[Mac Outlaw]

Atkins built a bad bullpen indeed. And Schneider couldn't wait to use it.

 

Fire John Schneider. I'd love Gibbons back but he's probably too old. Don't know who the answer is, but this red faced clown ain't it.

[Jaysareus]

That Seattle manager bugs me.

[Krylian]

Nahhh that seemed like very inexperienced manager trykng to save bullets for the next game type moves.

 

But if he was trying to save bullets wouldn't he be trying to push Gausman to go deeper so he wouldn't burner through as many relievers, thus giving him access to them in game 3?

What's Schneider supposed to do when every "high leverage" choice he could use doesn't have much swing and miss or velocity? He's rolling the dice no matter what he did.
