Blue Jays GDT: ('14 v3) Next Game: @Cle| Fri, Apr 18 |7pm ET/4pm PR| D.Hutchison vs J.Masterson

[Woodman19]

Gibbons ****ed up hard in this one

Its pretty hard to blame a manager when 3 different pitchers combine for 8 walks.... Pitchers need to throw strikes ffs.

 

[Bure All Day]

Please give us a leadoff walk here

Poor pen management in a double-header when it's almost freezing.

 

[Drew311]

When we're losing by 3 or 4 in the 9th inning of a game, and get a leadoff walk, I often joke, "only 6 more of those and the game will be tied"

And it actually happened.

I cannot believe we walked 8 people that inning, and they were 0 for 0, with 7 walks in their first 8 AB's

Toronto sports team being a Toronto sports team.

Once again, if the players don't throw strikes how is it on the manager?

 

[Bure All Day]

Lawrie will find a way to strike out here

Should have kept Cecil in, should've gotten McGowen out sooner, why would Santos come in during the 8th with one out

Cecil got his match up, McGowan was given leash to get out of it and he didnt and you bring in Santos because Delabar didn't get outs and you needed to then get strikeouts to stop the 2 runners in scoring position to score. Just so happens that he was worse.

I don't like any of that

 

[Woodman19]

That's the worst game I have ever sat through and after watching the 2013 season that is saying something.

Yup. Completely agree.

Things that the manager controls: Game Plan

Things the players control: Execution

If you want to blame Gibbons for not asking for a hit and run in a hit and run situation, then go for it.

But if a player throws 3 wild pitches, then how are you going to blame a manager?

 

[p.l.f.]

Gibbons goes to too many relievers again
Odds are one will suck

What are the odds 3 will suck in the same inning?

 

[lebdafor norris]

Slider wasn't working, yet, Santos kept going to it.

 

[Woodman19]

He has to, its the only pitch he can throw for strikes. His fastball is terrible.

 

[p.l.f.]

What a nightmare
Hopefully this doesnt start a major swoon

 

[EpochLink]

Oh my god

 

[TMLeafer]

Open.

 

[canucksfan]

Hate them blaming the weather for the walks. Factor definitely but not the sole reason.

 

[Nasty Nazem]

Open.

Don't think I didn't see that.

I was about to write how is he at nearly 50 pitches before SN corrected their error.

It hasn't been much of a factor for the opposition so I find it hard to just blame the weather.

Couple the weather with those three pitchers' control issues and it's a recipe for disaster as we just saw last night.

Don't think I didn't see that.

Yeah I was wondering what was up with that. He finished the first inning in eleven pitches.

What are you talking about dude?

I swear it said 53

 

[Nasty Nazem]

Whoa, Goins got a hit.

 

[Eyedea]

I guess Melky likes facing Masterson.
