GDT (3/3) Jays vs Baltimore | 1:07 EST | AcEstrada vs Tillman
glory replied to baubau's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
f*** you, Archer. -
I want a manager that knows who his best players are. That's all. Everything else is related to overall talent, luck, etc. When you start a s***** DH in left, bring in AAAA fodder out of the pen in close games, put one of your best hitters who can't field at 1B to get a backup catcher's bat in the lineup, and so on, and you lead the league in one run losses, at some point you have to not put everything on bad luck and start realizing that runs are being sacrificed by the manager. AA's moves at the deadline not only added talent but 'dummy proofed' the roster. Even Gibbons is not going to mess this roster up. Much like Cito was given that type of roster in the 90's.
-
Except all my criticisms were valid. The garbage relievers used last night were pitching the 7th and 8th innings in high leverage spots two months ago. When I said Gibbons is not using his best talent, I was blasted as a hater. Funny how my main criticisms, mainly pen use, Navarro at DH, Mushroom in the outfield, and Smoak riding pine are no longer being done.....and the team is winning. What a f***ing shock. It's like if you play your best players, your chances improve. Crazy.
-
Hutchison was bad, and Gibbons rightfully used his worst relievers in the final innings to save his good ones. Why would you expect negativity when he did nothing wrong? People need to realize; not everyone who bashes Gibbons is doing it to vent or whatever. Maybe just maybe we disagree with the man's moves from time to time. He's pretty much the hick version of Cito Gaston, but yet everyone rags on Gaston while rushing to Gibby's defence. It's weird.
-
Dude, you have Gibbons in your avatar. I can spew the virtues of batting average and wins/losses and still not come off as bad or biased as you. The last three pitchers used in tonight's game were high leverage relievers a couple of months ago. You know, the same guys who used to pitch in the 7th and 8th inning of close games while you came rushing to the manager's defence when they blew it. Now they are mop up guys like they should have been used to begin with. Funny how that works.

Going with Price, then a knuckleballer, then another flame thrower in Stroman, and then Papa Buehrle might work better in keeping the opponents off balance. Also sets up Stro for a potential Game 7. I don't like the idea of Dickey and Buehrle pitching back to back.
-
Price, Dickey, Stroman, and Buehrle in that order in a five or seven game series. Martin catches everyone.
-
Why would Donaldson do that? One of them is an idiot. I'm leaning towards the Hick with a track record of idiocy.
-
Josh Donaldson. 3rd inning, 2 runners on, 0 out. Bunts the two runners over. CrackerJack must have shed tears of joy at that display of managerial genius.
-
The Red Sox can EAD for bringing this hack into the 9th inning of a save situation.
-
Saved by the Ump. 2 more outs to go. Don't blow this, scrub.
-
Why the f*** is Machi pitching the 9th inning? This replacement manager is worse than Farrell.
-
Nice closer you got there, Boston. f***. Don't blow this.
-
The lineup has to get to Donaldson in the 9th. That's a lot to ask for with Martin, Pillar, and Goins due up.
-
Man that was predictable when the count got to two strikes. That first pitch fastball was his best shot.
-
Buck describing bullpen roles makes it sounds so ridiculous. "If the Jays take the lead, bring in Sanchez, if they're still down, go with Cecil." Cecil is better than Sanchez. Mind boggles at old school baseball.
-
Man why is Lolabello starting? He should only be playing against lefties.
-
Duquette has to be pissed. He got screwed royally by Angelos.
-
AA didn't start making saber type of moves until this past off-season. Prior to that he was looking at home runs, speed, and ERA. So yes, this organization does value analytics to some degree but it was a recent change. If they valued it earlier, maybe they don't make the ridiculous Marlins/Dickey trades.
-
Shapiro >>>> Beeston. I'd much rather have Shapiro communicating with Rogers than Beeston. I don't know how I feel about AA coming back, but I guess it's hard to let him go after the season the Jays are having.
-
Yeah seriously, just win the division. Doesn't really matter what the win total is, although it does look like the Jays will have to win 90+ to get the division. Those 7 games with the Yankees will be huge.
-
The Braves are awful. If they win one game in this series we'll be lucky.

GDT (2/3): Tigers @ Blue Jays [Farmer v Hutchison] Aug 29 - 1:07 PM

Wow Hutch is going to get slaughtered today if that first inning was any indication. Those fastballs were just missed. -
I don't expect Travis back at all this season so this is definitely a nice surprise.
-
Scoring 5 runs off a 14-game winner is impressive.
