  1. Ratcliffe being turned into Grilli is a positive for Parker? That's a reach, Davidi, if not completely delusional. The Jays drafting was solid with Parker but not as good as it was when AA was raping the system and hoarding picks prior to that.
  2. I'll never understand Gibby keeping a starter in the game and then taking him out the minute he gives up a hit. Why not just start the frickin' inning with Benoit? Oh well. Not too much damage done.
  3. The poster you quoted is an AA/Gibbons fanboy. It was meant to not make sense.
  4. Man what a great win. I left the house at 6-0 and came back right in time to see Edwin's home run.
  5. Shame that Grilli has to come in during a six run game, but he was warming up when they were down 2. Gibbons likes to use pitchers he warms up rather than have them warm up for nothing. I guess it will be Benoit as the vetrin set up man tomorrow if the Jays have the lead late.
  6. Don't swing Thole. Just hope Betances can't find the strike zone. That's your only hope.
  7. The Baseball Gods need to give the Jays this win after the gift he gave the Orioles yesterday. Time to be fair.
  8. Travis HR'ed off Herrera a few games ago. Things are possible. Keep it 1-0 and a few lucky bounces could get the Jays back in it. Dig the hole deeper and it's over.
  9. Feldman gave up a s*** ton of singles in his last outing and that resulted in a bunch of runs being scored, therefore he's untrustworthy now.
  10. At least the Jays won't lose by a run now with Tepera in. Don't know why this bum is put into a one run game, but Gibby gon Gibby.
  11. I remember reading that if Gibbons warms someone up he likes to use them rather than warm them up for nothing, so probably brought him in because it was a "save situation" prior to the Edwin HR and he was ready.
  12. Fiers really has 3 strike outs. The 4 on Smoak and Upton should not count.
  13. Yeah, I was fine with acquiring Upton, but he's been worse than even his Atlanta Braves days since being acquired. And not even in a bad luck sort of way. He's been straight up ass offensively. I miss Carrera, never thought I'd say that.
  14. In Spring training, Edwin goes about his job quietly, says nothing to the press about his contract other than he won't negotiate mid-season, and it was never brought up again. He ends up having a great season and will get a big contract from someone. Bautista does the exact opposite, creates a distraction for no reason, says there won't be a negotiation as he told the club his number already (5/150), and he proceeds to have two DL stints, a bad season (by his standards), and a meme that will last a lifetime of him getting punched in the face. This is why you keep quiet, Jose.
  15. Gibbons didn't even want to give Pompey an at bat last September. Atkins is doing the team and Pompey a favor by keeping him down. No sense wasting perfectly valuable days of big league service to see him sit on the bench while Upton, Carrera, etc, play over him.
  16. Upton is Gibby's Colabello.
  17. That's going to be quite a chore with the roster the Jays have now. The farm will organically get better as players move up, but it probably won't be in time to take advantage of the Donaldson years. They'll have to really make some killer off-season moves to win in 2017 without JB, EE, and MS.
  18. That inning was on Tulo more than the others. Smoak sucks against lefties and Saunders has the split disadvantage. Tulo swung at a high pitch out of the zone on the first f***ing pitch after a walk and couldn't score a run. Buzzkill.
  19. Wasted a great chance there. Had Smyly on the ropes. Why couldn't Bautista have one more great season in him before he bounced???
  20. $150m over five years. Good luck, Bautista.
  21. Opposing teams just have to throw a s***** lefty out there and the Jays bats will look like garbage. Don't know how a team so right handed can struggle this much against lefties.
  22. Bringing Cordero in a game because of vetrin presentz > bringing Ryan Tepera in to face Manny Machado in a close game. Being loyal to vets is at least something you can rationalize, even though it's moronic when the vet is no longer good. But making bonehead moves that make no sense is a Gibbons staple. I will give Gibby credit as he does not abuse pitch counts and young players have been able to develop under his watch, but that's the only positives I can think of. He manages on gut rather than match ups. He's basically Ned Yost. He won a title so maybe there's hope.
  23. As the leader of the anti-Gibbons movement, I agree with that ranking, and I didn't even read the reasoning behind it.
  24. Dickey and Liriano both in the rotation is going to be aggravating when they are not on.
