    I had this problem last night and was forced to turn to *shudder* Firefox.

    Blue Jays batting plan: i) Wear the starting pitcher down - he should be at least at 100 pitches by the end of 5 innings ii) If a tough reliever comes out, concede the inning but force him into making lots of pitches and hope he gets replaced by the next inning iii) If an easy reliever comes out, load the bases and hope he walks in a run iv) Wait for the 7th/8th/9th inning specialist pitchers to come out and then swing away, no matter what the situation v) After inevitable loss, blame the bullpen for coughing up any runs vi) Rinse and repeat

    Yost, Stewart, Amaro....list runs out fast after that.

    FFS. I'm teetering on being done and just getting shitfaced now.

    This will get overturned in NY.

    No.

    f***, even Buck and Pat sound like they're signing off.

    Signs of the apocalypse: Ubaldo Jimenez has 1 hit us through 6 innings.

    If it were me, at least one more inning. This could very well be the whole season here.

    Let's not go nuts.

    At the moment it's all we've got.

    He's MLB's hitman, the baseball equivalent of Urs Meier whom FIFA sent in when they wanted a particular result.

    That inning was a crime against baseball.

    Ignore the naysayers Beest, we're all jealous that this is actually a real position: http://www.memegenerator.eu/media/created/dcc5ex.jpg

    Giving up on this game is logical. Giving up on the season would be insanity; we'll be fine.

    Yes he does. He's there for when you really don't give a f*** anymore and don't want to use anybody of value.

    Aaaaaaaaaaaaand I'm done. Gibby threw in the towel when Tepera came out anyway.

    Genuinely indifferent. He can be infuriating at times with misplaced loyalty, odd bullpen and pinch hitting decisions and being slow to try new tactics such as platoons and changing the batting order, but on the other hand he has made some positive and courageous calls that have won us games and for which he often receives very little credit. I don't pretend to know what his clubhouse management is like, but he seems at least on the surface to have a good working relationship with his star players. He also strikes me as a manager who is straightforward with all his players and most do appreciate this. Personally overall I would probably prefer someone more experienced at the helm, but I'm certainly not one of the 'lynch Gibbons' mob, that's for sure.

    Hips? Oy. That's something in sports you don't want to mess with. Hopefully it's just sore and not something more serious.

    Francona does seem invested in Cleveland right now and in building that young squad, but his out clause is no accident. Probably a lot of us on this forum know how new management can quickly sour a work environment and lead you to move on to (hopefully) sunnier climbs. Here I would think Francona could pretty much have/do whatever he wants with Shatkins in charge.

    Honest question, no troll intended. Is there actually anything wrong with Donaldson, an injury that's not being disclosed for example? Or is he just banged up and needing a rest right now?
  22. Praxis
    My understanding is that Francona is signed through 2020 (2018 guaranteed, 2019/2020 club options), but he has a clause that he can opt out of his contract at any time if Shapiro left Cleveland.

    As bad as September has been so far, I'm keeping calm due to three reasons: i) It's baseball and it's streaky. This is the first prolonged slump we've been in since April; s*** happens. ii) 3-8/4-9 sucks, but astoundingly we are still 2 games up on the competition for a wild card spot and only 2 games behind Boston. We can hardly play any worse and we are still in a great position. iii) Fundamentally this team hasn't changed except that Shatkins has significantly added to our depth during the season and in the last few weeks. I believe on paper at least we are well primed to make another good run at the playoffs and go multiple rounds again like last year. Having said all of that, I reserve the right to panic if this is still going on next week.

    I believe the plan all along has been Terry Francona. This suggestion has been roundly mocked. We'll see.

    Is it just me or are they not showing whether or not a batter went around on replay anymore?
