He's not a good manager but he's not really the reason we lost today. Stroman hanging an 0-2 curve is part of it. So is our offense being so inept against another mediocre pitcher. Gibbons made some dumb moves, some of them worked out though - starting Zeke actually worked out for the most part.
Could Gibbons be the difference between missing the playoffs or not? Who knows. I'm on board with bringing in a new manager next year though. Not sure who exactly but Bud Black wouldn't be bad.
