...and the best offense in baseball all coming back next year. But, yeah, that farm system!
Would be nice to have a WS caliber team in the 20s on good value deals plus a booming farm system but this isn't fantasy land.
The Wells trade might have been the best of all. Ditched him at the perfect time after a good season and before he completely s*** the bed. He had 4 years and 86 million left.
Gibbons is bad at managing the bullpen. Most fan bases think that about thier manager but I really think he's among the worst.
He's probably fine at most other managing duties or not enough to make a difference.
I don't think record in one run games says anything about his managing. Next year I wouldn't be surprised if it's the opposite.
Dickey let's up 5 runs in the first. Jays come back and lose 5-4. That any reflection on the manager? Jays are winning 3-2 after the 5th, Osuna comes in the 9th and let's in two runs to lose. That Gibby's fault?
Baseball is a high variance sport.
He's not. He's to blame because he wasn't prepared to pull him.
Why on earth at that time can't you have two guys in the pen just throwing and getting loose just in case?
