Gibbons: "Who?"
-
Go with Lowe in the 6th. Learn from your mistakes you hick.
-
Take Stroman out after 5. He's not pitching well at all. But that means Gibbons would have to bring in Hendriks, which can't happen. Sanchez will be pitch 2 and then Osuna 2, most likely.
-
Just got home to see Bautista misplay a ball in the outfield (daily routine). He'll probably blame Goins for that one.
-
Must win tonight with Young and Volquez going the following two. Beat up on Cueto and the Jays have a chance to run the table in Toronto. Won't be easy regardless.
-
You don't have to make the playoffs every year as there will be bumps in the road here and there but a team that can consistently make the playoffs has been done enough times to not be considered some sort of pipe dream. If the 2012 trades never happened, we would be the Mets right now except with a much better offense. Instead we are a team that has to win in 2015 because there's no guarantee they'll make it again after 2016 when two of its best players either leave or become way more expensive to keep. When you create a window, then you've already eliminated any chance of becoming a consistent winner. Unless AA has a few more Donaldson type of moves in him this winter.
-
Hell, you can hear the crowd noise on a routine flyball in every stadium. This is nothing new. Goins should have known better. No excuse for that.
-
Cueto will be the key. If the Jays can beat him, then they have Young and Volquez pitching at RC. They can potentially win all 3 if they beat Cueto, though the margin for error will be practically zero. Jays need to go back to KC with a 3-2 lead. Find a way to make it happen.
-
If they don't win this year, they'll likely have many more chances over the next 5 years. That pitching staff is young and elite.
-
Right on the money. Same s*** happened after 2012. If the Jays just stayed the course, they would have been a better version of the Mets right now with all their young pitching + still had the assets to make trades to add impact talent. Instead they went for short-term gain, and when that failed, they just doubled down for even shorter term gain. I hope it works out and leads to a title, but if it doesn't, trust me, 2 years from now the people saying it was worth won't be singing the same tune if it leads down a path of more mediocrity.
-
Getting something like Gomez/Fiers was a lot more sensible than getting Price, IMO. Might have cost the same, or a little more, but the years of control would have been a lot more desirable.
-
Yeah the Royals are a good team. You can knock Yost all you want with the lineups and so on, but the game is essentially over after the 6th due to their pen, and the lineup stuff has not had any negative impact on their ability to win games. They also have a great defense that pick up their starters. It's a good team that the manager can't f*** up. Similar to the Jays, except Gibby's weakness is the Royals strength (identifying good relievers), so that's where Toronto will get exposed (as they were in game 2). Put it this way, if Hendriks was on the Royals, he wouldn't be picking splinters out of his ass on the bench, he'd be pitching in meaningful spots.
-
Every fan in every stadium yells that stuff when the opposing team has to catch a fly ball. That's really no excuse.
-
If Price gets the next 3 outs, or allows less than 3 runs in the inning, we wouldn't be talking about this. Don't Bartman this play. Price and Gibby s*** the bed that inning.
-
Revere is better in left than Colabello, that's why he was needed this year. Next year is a different story.
-
Reactionary bad playoff thread dumping site
glory replied to 500LevelSTH's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
To be fair, it's only ban worthy because it's actually realistic. Sad, but true. -
When the Jays score a run it feels like the miracle. When the Royals do, it happens instantly.
-
Anyone blaming Goins/Bautista for a missed flyball when it amounted to one base runner on 1st with a 3 run lead is a moron. Price s*** the bed after that. That's entirely on him.
-
He was managing to get Price the win rather than managing to win the game. No clue why he left Price up there when he was giving up hard contact to practically everyone after that missed fly ball.
-
How about the 5 or 6 hard contact hits he gave up after the error/bad defensive play? Defenders make errors. All it amounted to was one base runner on 1st. That's on Price (and Gibby for hanging him out to dry).
-
He's been consistently bad. In other words, he's been a s*** umpire to both teams. Yost took Ventura out at the right time. Gibbons waited until Price blew the game before he made the switch despite giving up hard contact to pretty much every batter. You can lock this thread or merge it with the Gibbons thread, because we're dealing with two imbeciles managing these games, and unfortunately, the other one is winning.
-
"Were you worried about your son as beer cans were being thrown onto the field?", asked to Kevin Pillar's mother, is still the most riveting question an interviewer has ever asked. Kudos to Davis for asking the questions everyone wants answers to.
-
I wish I had a meme handy that could illustrate sarcasm going over someone's head, but alas.
-
Tie this series up and head back to Toronto for 3 straight games. I don't think Volquez will do quite as well at RC. Winning today's game is important regardless of what happened in the ALDS.
-
The Jays were 44-30 when Anthony Gose started last season. They were 25-35 when Devon Travis started this season. Travis simply doesn't bring the winning intangible.
