How did the 2008 jays team, who could barely muster up 1 run a game, all of sudden start hitting with a new manager and coaches? They had the same players throughout the year

All i see is " Gibbons didnt lose the game" .".it's not Gibbons fault".. Let's say the above is true. Do we want to settle for a manager that doesnt lose a game or do you want a manager that puts the team in the best position to win. I dont get the love of mediocrity

Thats the difference between between good management and bad. Francona goes through scenarios. He thinks ahead. Do you think Gibbons actually went through any of those scenarios prior to the game?

He has to be fired. It's nice to see what a real manager is like. With a couple of half decent bats and a make shift rotation. Getting the job done with intelligence and fundamentals

He was so late on the 0-2 fastball. It was obvious he was just waiting for the change up. I was thinking throw him another heater

I honestly thought at one point during extras I might have just missed britton pitch. I went to confirm by looking at the box score. Cant believe it

Buck's body looks funny when he walks

That inning tells the story of john gibbons. He thinks he needs a 3 run blast from joey to win the game

Holy crap....saunders scored from third on a base hit. Saunders you rock!!!!!

They were so careful with machado and groove a fastball inside to the homerun leager. Why wven risk coming inside. As soon as martin setup inside i knew something bad was gonna happen

Look at 2008 season for the proof that a manager/coaches make a difference. Or you can look at the 1000s of other examples through sports history

I cant even believe a so called major league manager didnt do that. I thought for sure that was the move. Pretty common sense move

Probobly even worse. No exageration

Jays don't make the playoffs, i comsider it one of the worst managing performances ever. With an all star lineup and the amazing starting pitching they got. As bad as Gibbons part 1 with Gary Denbo. Gibbons part 2 almost over

The last couple of days is a great example to anyone that thinks a manager/coach doesnt matter. Todays loss is a directly on Gibbons. The over use and miss use of his relievers is below minor league level. 5-1 last night using Osuna. Cant wait til hes fone. Attrocious
