    Man, I really hope this team is not hovering around .500 in July. Either sell or (reasonably) go for it. No in between. Finishing .500, missing the playoffs, and then losing all the FA's for nothing is about the worst case scenario for this season. They don't have a crazy run differential this season. They are playing about where they should be, unfortunately.

    / Then he should have let him try to end it even when he got into trouble. If he was dealing, why would allowing 2 base runners negate that? I just don't get the 'when the starter gives up a baserunner or two, take him out' philosophy. The reliever comes in at a disadvantage every single time.

    Once again, Gibbons brings in a reliever with runners on base rather than just letting the reliever start the freakin' inning. Blame goes to the offense, sure, but Osuna starting the 9th with a 2 run lead would have been much better. The Jays are finally developing a damn fine pitcher. No need for Redneck Cito to value a CG over his arm.

    Rumors are going around that Pete Walker was so irate that he had to go back to the clubhouse to cool off after seeing all the strike outs by Sanchez. It got pretty heated, apparently.

    Happ is fine. He's a movable piece on a reasonable contract. The drop in K's is worth mentioning though because even when he was mediocre pre-Pitts he was still striking out 7 per 9. I really wish Atkins cleaned house on the coaching staff because I don't think Gibbons/Walker mesh with what the FO wants.

    4 run game. Starter has thrown 108 pitches through 8. Gibbons: leaves starter in for one f***ing batter (2 pitches), brings on his closer, and nearly loses the game. Why keep Estrada in the game if you were going to pull him after a batter, and if Osuna was warming up anyway, then why not start the inning with Osuna? Maybe a better question is, why did Atkins not fire him in the off-season when the casuals were s***ing on him and Shapiro anyway, so they could have done it and not been any worse off PR wise?
  8. glory
    Atkins could have fired Gibbons after getting swept vs. Tampa. He's not going to fire him now, or probably even at any point this season. We have to live with this s***.
  9. glory
    The Baseball God's were not going to allow Gibbons off the hook for leaving Stroman out to dry like this.
  10. glory
    Stroman at 101 pitches. Gibbons only takes starters out at 100 regardless of performance, so we should see the pen from here.
  11. glory
    Gibbons is so f***ing stupid it angers me. Stevie Wonder could have seen this coming. Please Atkins, f*** the PR, just fire the man and hire Bud Black or whoever else is out there. Yes, casuals will hate you for a bit, but they hate you anyway. Go for the kill.
  12. glory
    The Jays can win this game, but Gibbons will keep Stro in long enough for that not to happen.
  13. glory
    Gibby probably considers Dickey beating Price as some sort of miracle that he does not want to blow. I would have brought in Loup to face the lefty, but whatever. If the Jays pad on the lead in the 9th, I hope he takes Osuna out.
  14. glory
    Grilli and Storen to close the game, hopefully. With Gibbons, you never know, though. Biagini and Osuna wouldn't shock me.
  15. glory
    Man, if the Jays can trade Dickey for a swing man and then put Chavez in the rotation, I'd be down for that right now. He looks like straight up ass, and we have to watch Thole because of him. I know, 200 IP, league average performance, reasonable contract, etc, but man he's frustrating to watch.
  16. glory
    Considering the amount of prospects traded, I'd say the Jays. You can't trade that many prospects in 3 years and have one playoff appearance for it. At least the other teams just overpaid free agents for the most part.
  17. glory
    Yes, when I said aim, I was clearly talking to the players who read this forum religiously. I expected them to settle for the Wild Card so I figured if I told them to aim for the division, they might step their games up. Let's see if my pep talk works.
  18. glory
    I mean, I'd rather the Jays win a WC spot than miss the playoffs entirely while finishing around .500, but a long ass season followed by one extra game just seems so heart wrenching for the team that loses. Aim for the division, please. Although, a one game WC against the Rangers would be must see TV if it came to that.
  19. glory
    Tepera will let 2 runners on, and then Gibbons will bring in Osuna. Just in case. Pad this lead, guys.
  20. glory
    Gibby's tendency to leave SP's in too long so that a reliever can come in with runners on base is not the high percentage play. No wonder the pen looks so bad.
  21. glory
    Yes, bring in Grilli in with runners on base, rather than a fresh inning.
  22. glory
    Sanchez hadn't thrown 100 pitches yet so of course you keep him in. /Stupid Old School Managing Logic.
  23. glory
    Can't believe Morales makes $2m for sitting on his ass if the Jays really are strapped for cash. Even when healthy I probably would have waited for Loup and saved the $2m for something better.
  24. glory
    Yep. If the stars were all playing like stars, the Jays would be in a much better spot right now. Maybe that will happen as the season goes on, but that's the main reason for the slow start.
  25. glory
    Good utility IF. Let's not get carried away. The Jays should find a taker for Tulo any chance they get, but Barney is not the answer at short or 2B. As a bench player? Ideal.
