Down by the River Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Hutch starting to string together some big starts. Huge win for the Jays. Yankees with a tough series against the Astros coming up. Need to see a change in the L column for the Jays to catch up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimito Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Could have realistically won 2/3. Now just have to get back to winning streak. Still 7 games vs Yankees left. So far 8-4 season series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far 8-4 season series. Jays should have won the first game if Gibbons hadn't let Price go out for the 8th and then have Sanchez crap the bed giving Yankees the win. Is it too late to fire Gibbons and bring in someone who is competent, experienced and won before like Cito Gaston, Bobby Cox, Lou Pinella or Joe Torre (yeah I know he works for MLB) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it too late to fire Gibbons and bring in someone who is competent, experienced and won before like Cito Gaston, Bobby Cox, Lou Pinella or Joe Torre (yeah I know he works for MLB) I agree that Price shouldn't have gone out for the 8th given the number of hits he gave up, but that's one decision in a series of several hundred decisions that go into a baseball game. It also sounded from your post that Gibbons was the reason Sanchez 'crapped the bed'. Was that one decision a very costly one? Definitely. However, I'd only hold it against Gibbons if he made the same mistake twice. He has a new pitcher in Price, and maybe the newness factored into his decision.

RUPERTKBD Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Jays should have won the first game if Gibbons hadn't let Price go out for the 8th and then have Sanchez crap the bed giving Yankees the win. Is it too late to fire Gibbons and bring in someone who is competent, experienced and won before like Cito Gaston, Bobby Cox, Lou Pinella or Joe Torre (yeah I know he works for MLB) Pretty ridiculous to blame Gibbons for that. Price is the best pitcher on the roster and as such, gets more leeway from the manager. Any manager. Gibby made the move to bring in Sanchez, who has been lights out up that point. He made a mistake and Beltran didn't miss it. If you'd been paying attention to the entire series, you'd note that Beltran was missing very little this weekend. Hindsight is 20/20. Foresight is significantly lower and I think you have the two confused. Gibby has made his share of mistakes this year, but sticking with his two best pitchers is not one of them. At some point, the players have to get the job done and in that situation, it was Sanchez's job to get Beltran out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonMexico Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) Hutch got demoted today. I get the reasoning but it's weird to a see a pticher with a 12-2 record (yes I know his peripherals tell a different story) get demoted. I assume he will be back shortly.

Yeah, I feel he played some of his best ball of the year his last 2 games. Improve and you get demoted? Unless the plan is to have him pitch down there, over this next period with lots of days off.

I'm pretty sure it is only because they intend to skip a start in the rotation and have him pick up a game. It's a short term transaction just like Loup. Just meant to keep the arms fresh.

DeNiro Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 These hype articles remind me of past Leafs articles like the now infamous "best team in Canada" article... http://www.tsn.ca/charged-up-the-blue-jays-are-everything-baseball-ain-t-1.346917 Maybe have a little humility and act like you've been there before. Articles like this always seem to come back to haunt teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are on a 10 game road trip with 3 rest days. They only need 4 starters. Hutch is like 9-1 or 10-1 at home, he sucks at home. Optioning him allows them to bring backup outfielders, in case of injuries. Edited August 18, 2015 by Jaimito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
