Blue Jays GDT: (2016 v24) Next: @ NYY| Tues, Sept 6| 7pmET/4pmPT | Sanchez vs Cessa

[Longshot]

I don't understand this obsession of saving your best reliever for the 9th. Should have used him against the top of the order in a one run game. This obsession with the save stat is mind boggling.

It is probably the only stat in all of sports that dictates usage of players. It really is mind boggling.

But a lot of it is really human nature. If Gibbons (or any other manager) uses Osuna there and he gets bombed - he would get creamed with criticism. But he used his "8th inning guy," who had a bad night. It happens.

 

[Orca Smash]

It is such a fine line right now between post season and no post season with Detroit being so hot.

 

[Eyedea]

What?

Gibbons did nothing wrong here, geesh.

 

[Daisy Jane]

if Donaldson got on base and EE hits a homer, life is wonderful,

 

[Matt24]

Sure would have been nice for this deficit to be 1 instead of 3 right about now.

 

[Loosie]

@ this thread. People get so negative when the Jays lose.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Eddie forget the homer. just base hit. come on.

 

[ChiTownLeafer]

@ this thread. People get so negative when the Jays lose.

I think it's because the jays have been trending downwards the last few series

 

[Matt24]

@ this thread. People get so negative when the Jays lose.

It's September. More understandable now than in say May or June.

 

[Josh92]

Navarro is gonna come up with a huge hit in this inning I can feel it.

 

[Daisy Jane]

that eliminates the double play!

 

[Eyedea]

Looks like it's pouring hard.

 

[TIGERCOOL]

Gibbons did nothing wrong here, geesh.

One more time?

 

[Matt24]

That's catcher interference. Brutal. Completely blatant.

 

[Longshot]

I wonder if the weather has had an affect on the pitchers.

Once that mist/rain started, the low-scoring pitcher's duel turned into a slug fest.

 

[Del Preston]

Screw off Sanchez

Why is that not reviewable?

 

[Eyedea]

Super dumb you can't review that.

 

[Josh92]

********

 

[The Kessel Run]

Absolutely shocked the ump missed that against the Jays..... NOT

 

[Matt24]

That's absolutely unacceptable.

 

[Longshot]

How the hell does the ump miss that?

That is blatant catcher's interference. That is brutal.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Did you forget about Matt Wieters hitting a two run HR off of Grilli in the 8th inning last Tuesday?

You didn't. He's been fine...it DOES happen. We could go back to Storen?

He has been except for this and against Baltimore. Hopefully hes not slowing down.

Wish benoit was available, surprised he pitched yesterday in a game they trailed.

Grilli is one of the reasons we were able to "rebuild" our bullpen because it was brutal at the start of the year.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Umps can't even see what's under their noses anymore

 

[canucksfan]

Could see if he just slightly hit but that was dead on.

 

[ChiTownLeafer]

That's ****ing brutal that the umps can't review it
