He's been our most reliable arm for the past few years, closers aren't just flamethrowers anymore. I prefer closer by committee tbh. I just think it's ridiculous to take away his closer spot that they gave him months ago just because he was forced to come in with the bases loaded none out in the 8th with like 5 warm up pitches... and I'll say this again, Castro would have given up a game tying 2-run bomb in his first pitch of the 7th to Arod if it weren't for the inbound hurricane wind. If that happened this conversation doesn't happen. -
lmao how to kill Cecil's confidence on the year. Call him the closer and then never give him the chance to close and replace him with a 20yr old A ball kid. Brilliant.
-
From afar when I've had a few drinks he looks like Brett Lawrie but then you realize it's just Tolleson. It's pretty disappointing.
-
He was promoted to CF
-
outfield depth for days
-
It's been said enough times but blaming Gibbons is just not right here. Most managers would have ran the 8th inning the exact same as Gibbons, he can't control the outcome after doing the right calls. Also, stop kidding yourself - Castro just about lost the hold with his first pitch to Arod, a fast ball down the pipe that thankfully the wind kept it in the park.
-
It's baseball guys. In regular playing conditions the first pitch by Castro would be a 2 run homer to Arod.
-
Yeah, I mean he gets the outs but his walkrate is by far his weak spot. Having a clean inning is suppose to work to his benefit though but he just didn't have it.
-
and what kind of trust are you building in Loup who is a tailor made to pitch an 8th inning with 3 lefties in a row? He just stunk ass. The Gibbons hate on here is a bit much, he gave him the 3 lefties and pulled him for Cecil who pitched better than the result showed. Loup costed them this game, not Gibbons, nor Cecil.
-
I don't disagree, but Loup's career #s vs lefties is very good, probably best on the team. With 3 coming up in a row in the 8th, he was totally a valid choice by Gibbons. He can't predict when they are going to suck a bag of dicks on a given night.
-
What game are you watching? Cecil K'd his first batter, IBB the second, HBP 3rd, had inning ending grounder f***ery.
-
C'mon Cecil has bailed out this team many times over the past couple years. More so than any other arm. He was penciled in as the closer, rushed about 5 warm up pitches in the pen before running to the mound with runners on and none out. This was not how he pictured his first game to be this season.
-
By next week Osuna is 8th inning man and Castro is closer and the baseball world writes stories about them.
-
Lets be fair, this is on Loup not Cecil.
-
Martin's framing is completely butchered atm.
-
RIP this game.
-
Walk & Grounder needed here.
-
Martin is looking terrible. He's bobbled 3 or 4 this inning.
-
Just f***ing great.
-
Finally... Finally the Jays bring in their 'closer' in a dire 8th inning situation. They never did this once with Janssen, times are changing.
-
oh ffs...
-
I am firmly on the Castro bandwagon. Dude is money.
-
It never gets old seeing that line up.
