Blue Jays Discussion: If a Blue Jay falls in a Tavares/Kawhi forest and no one's around to hear it, does it make a sound?

This has been a boring week without any real games. I didn't realize how much I miss Jays baseball even though on many nights they have been total crap. On the bright side, we have not lost this week yet. We have not won, but at least we have not lost any games.

Dunedin is playing Tampa (Yankees FSL affiliate). Interesting to note that the Yankees have a 19 year old pitching for them named Luis Rijo that was called up from Pulaski. Not sure if this is a potential showcase but it's curious because generally pitching prospects would move up to Charleston.

Espinal was promoted to New Hampshire. Playing 2B and hit a double in his first AB.

Nice. He needs to be challenged to see what he can do. I was hoping it wouldn't take long for him to move up.

Pannone with a fantastic start for Buffalo, too.

Will Gibby make it to September as the Jay's coach? Second worst W/L record in his career and the worst in his second go around as the Jays coach.

A Change for the sakes of a change?

Full disclosure, I've never like Gibbons coaching style. I think a change for a sake of establishing good fundamental baseball, maybe change the playing style of the team. Some people believe that the manager has no influence in the game at all. Some think that the manager fills out the line up every day so he has direct influence on the game.

For example one game about a month ago there was a ball in the dirt, Martin did an Ole with his glove, didn't move his feet to get his body in front of the ball. I thought OK he just misplayed it but he is a vet it won't happen again, Martin is known for his defence. The very same game he did the same thing. If there is one thing that drives me nuts is players who know better and not putting in the effort to play simple ball. I mean the stuff of blocking balls with your body is taught to you before you are 10 years old. After that game I noticed that Martin was using the Ole method of grabbing balls in the dirt, for me as a manager it is incumbent on me to talk to him and say dude get in front of the ball. Not sure if Martin was just being lazy or if he is injured and can't move his feet fast enough to get into position but for a guy like Martin to continue to play like that, it's on the manager to fix it or let Martin get some bench time. At any rate baseball is about the fine details, the teams that take care of those fine details tend to win more often than the teams who ignore the details. IMO its the managers job to make sure he holds his players accountable, to make sure those fine details are executed every play. Gibby gives me the impression he is a lazy coach.

I wouldn’t be shocked to see Eric Wedge finish the year as our manager.

yep, Antonetti is great for sure.

drafts Lindor, then signed Ramirez to a killer extension after one good year and not great performances at AA and AAA.
