    Buck advising the Jays to keep the lead. That man earns every dollar he makes.

    I hope Biagini starts the 6th. I doubt it, 'cuz Stro hasn't reached 100 pitches yet', but he's not pitching well tonight.
  3. glory
    Never thought at any point in 2016 we'd be looking at Sanchez as being way better than Stroman, but here we are.

    The key is to not fall in love with that type of player. Buy low, improve value, sell again. Given the contract Ventura has, even if you move him to the pen and he becomes a viable late inning reliever, he'll be an asset. Just don't extend him and make him part of your core, or something like that. D-bags still gon be d-bags. He's not Machado level talent-wise to be worth the head ache over a long period of time.

    Ventura for Happ. Which side says no? Jays save a bit of money, get a bit more upside, get a lot more unlikable, and the Royals get a pitcher who would probably thrive in that park.
  6. glory
    Yeah the contract is appealing. He's the type of douche bag you acquire cheaply, let him build up his value, and then flip him again when his performance improves but before his douchiness starts to become an issue.
  7. glory
    Wow that lineup is ass.
  8. glory
    Or maybe a lot of the guys struggling are in their early to mid 30's and we're going to see a drop off regardless. Being an old team sucks. This is why.
  9. glory
    Either Sanchez is not on an innings limit or he is but Gibbons don't give a F. It would be nice if the front office and manager at least appeared to be on the same page.

    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.
  12. glory
    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.
  13. glory
    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.
  14. glory
    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?
  17. 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***.
  18. glory
    The Baseball God's were not going to allow Gibbons off the hook for leaving Stroman out to dry like this.
  19. glory
    Stroman at 101 pitches. Gibbons only takes starters out at 100 regardless of performance, so we should see the pen from here.
  20. 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.
  21. glory
    The Jays can win this game, but Gibbons will keep Stro in long enough for that not to happen.
  22. 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.
  23. glory
    Grilli and Storen to close the game, hopefully. With Gibbons, you never know, though. Biagini and Osuna wouldn't shock me.
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
