Fire John Schneider

Yup. Romano was pretty useful in the series too. Just great management all around

Punchy tweet but Toronto lost most of those games like, immediately and thoroughly.

I dunno. This is not the thing that bugs me about the series, lmao.

When you are getting your ass kicked it can be hard to find the time to use your top relievers. Instead of using Richards would have been an easy spot. But otherwise he should have employed earlier hooks on guys.

EDIT: Yeah I was thinking the same thing.

Its still an issue. Especially in the 4th game there… like what exactly are we “saving” the better arms for? This is it, this is the season.

Just 0 sense of urgency the entire series

Not at all.

I guess

Game 1 it is 5-3 top 7th. Genesis Cabrera gives up 4 runs, blows the game.
Game 2 it is 3-0 top 7th. Yimi Garcia gives up 2 runs, game over.
Game 4 it is 4-2 top 8th. Trevor Richards gives up 5 runs, game over.

It's not exactly "using Ubaldo Jimenez over prime Zack Britton in extra innings in the playoffs" but the same sort of logic, on a much much tinier scale, three times over.

It starts with game 1 too though. Left Bassit in way longer than they should’ve when it was clear he was struggling, presumably because they wanted to save the pen for the rest of the series. But then they don’t even end up using Romano a single time, and Hicks gets 1 appearance in a blowout.

Doesn’t make a lot of sense to me with this being the pivotal series of the season.

Again, like I said there seemed to be no sense of urgency in this series.

It was poo...

[BigCecil]

Gibbons is out there in the playoffs playing 4D chess and you're playing checkers from your recliner pal.

Gibbons knew the Rangers were going with the wheel play (because his "gut" told him) and he also knew that Elvis Andrus was on full tilt after his previous errors (also Gibby took one look at Andrus and could "see it in his eyes").

So he brilliantly called for the bunt down the third base line to force Andrus into making a play. And guess what? It worked brilliantly.

Then you have the balls to come on to BJMB aka the Gibby Fan Club and criticize the guy for a play that worked? Wow

LOL. A quality comeback. Well done. You are still the Sheriffinator in my books.

[BigCecil]

Cito's a fuckin' Dingleberry, lol. I feel the Birds should've won 100+ games from 91 to 93, lol. Analytics win 100+ with those teams.

I have to admit back in the day I didn’t see it as much. But in retrospect now if you look at Oleruds numbers vs Carter it’s shocking we still won back to back with Cito at the helm. Lol.

Trust me I get it but, they had the talent, Insane.

God awful offense. JS can't be blamed for that!

[Spanky99]

Man, our original GM left a team and a farm.

[harvey16]

For all the hate JS gets, his decision to pinch hit Biggio for Chapman, single handedly saved the game for the Jays today. Score a win for Schneider today. He made all the right moves. Chapman looked pissed too, but these are the tough decisions that good managers make, even if it pisses off a veteran player.

While I agree that was a great move, I thought he still made some questionable decisions. Letting Espinal hit in the 8th felt like a wasted opportunity to tie the game, and he really played with fire leaving Bassitt in as long as he did.
