Blue Jays, 2013 edition

[shack]

Shoot, what happens if the Jays lose the next game? That would be 2 out of 8 or 25%. Just how low do we have to go?

Rome wasn't built in a day.

 

[Ironhead]

Well the panic button did not work so I will switch back to patience.

 

[Phil C. McNasty]

You're not even close. He pitched almost 4 full innings, 3 2/3 to be precise. That's much different

Absolutely horrible ... really ?

Not good that is for sure, but far from horrible

Denial is a powerful thing

Try not be an dick

I thought you could figure out that that post was not really serious.

Why the hell are these games at 1 PM on a weekday?

Why the hell are these games at 1 PM on a weekday?

Because we're in April and the Tigers deem it to cold to play night games at this time of year. Afternoon (potentially) has sunlight.

Looks like the game will be rained out

Or not.

Countdown till John Gibbons gets fired

 

[shogun89]

They actually strang some hits together and are coming back from 6-1 down. 6-5 now bases loaded 1 out.

 

[shogun89]

Bases clearing double, 8-6 now.

 

[Phil C. McNasty]

6 outs to go.

Time to bring on Janssen

 

[shack]

Nice comeback. Finally.

I think it helped being on the road. Down 6-1 at home, the boo birds (and boo TERBs) would have been out in full force making it more of a pressure situation.

Can Gibbons have his job back now?

 

[Rockslinger]

A rare come from behind victory for the Jays but allowing 6 runs and 11 hits to the opponent is not a happy sign. Defense and pitching still too loose (toulouse?)

Chill Rock, the Jays won! I can live with the fact that Buehrle didn't pitch a 2-hit shutout this time, the Jays won. I'm not happy about Bonifacio committing his 4th error but hey...

 

[teassoc]

Difficult conditions of course. Delabar had a bad innings where he walked in two runs. Couldn't find the strike zone then when he did it was right in the middle of the plate and hit. All runs scored going against Buehrle as he left with the bases loaded!

I still want him gone, and I'm not the only one:

This guy sums it up perfectly:

Too early 4 #FireGibbons or #FireAnthopoulos? If you want 2 create a culture of winning DONT recycle a manager that didn't win the 1st time!

I'm not happy about Bonifacio committing his 4th error but hey...

The Lawrie injury hurts the defense in two positions.

Izturis is lost at 3rd. He's much better at 2nd than Bonifacio who has very little experience there but there is no one else to play 3rd.
