Blue Jays GDT: ('14 v4) Next Game: @Pit| Fri, May 2 |7pm ET/4pm PT| B.Morrow vs G.Cole

[habamillions]

2 hits are winning 6-3 brutal

 

[CherryToke]

worst pitching staff in the AL

 

[weems]

A total firesale at the 60 game mark or so looks like a very real possibility.

Bautista is being wasted on this team. Trade him to some contender for a boatload of good youth.

AA went all in and and unfortunately it didnt work out. Them's the breaks but now its important management realize this team just isnt that good.

 

[trellaine201]

I am so glad AA went out and got much needed starters and a 2B. Good job!!!

 

[RayzorIsDull]

So Ricky Romero throws righthanded as well now?

 

[Suntouchable13]

Lol, Paul Beeston sitting there looking none too happy.

 

[Bad News Benning]

Get rid of Morrow. so sick of this garbage pitching staff.

Hey we need to call up an arm....lets call up Chad Jenkins...lets not call up some kids with good stuff.

Sean Nolin and Stroman up now. **** these stupid veteran pitchers.

**** it just let that Jr Jay kid pitch.

 

[dredeye]

Glad I got to start watching just after morrow walked the bases loaded.

I've gotta say my optimism is being crushed over this last week. It's looking like morrow is just finished as a starter

Unfortunately I'm starting to think this may be neccessary. Sell of whatever you can at peak value. Not much available at that value right now though. Cabrera, Jose and EE hold the most value. Rasmus likely should be moved as well but with his sub 200 average the value isn't there right now

I've been thinking about that myself. At what point do you throw the towel in? This team can't win with this starting rotation. It's impossible.

The only pitchers worth keeping in the rotation at this point are Hutch and Buerhle (who should be moved, but his contract makes that tough). Dickey and Morrow need to be gone. McGowan back in the bullpen. It's time for Stroman, Nolin and Drabek (might as well see what you have with him while Sanchez develops) to be in the rotation. Perhaps go with Happ in the rotation for six men to limit the innings of the kids.

Bautista, EE, Colby and Melky need to be traded for prospects to re-stock the system. They should probably move Reyes as well, but his contract will make that more complicated.

Did I miss anything?

Then again, it's still early and things can turn around...

 

[Bad News Benning]

AA needs to go back to being an assistant GM. Hires Gibbons, like who brings back a manager that wasnt even good in the first place. Pete Walker needed to be canned yesterday. How he survived last year ill never know.

 

[Longshot]

Pretty sure he would have if ownership hadn't tied his hands...

Look at Jenkins numbers in the majors to date. He's been good in every call up. He came into a tough situation and didn't do well. That happens

There is nothing to turn around. Blow it all up and build around Sanchez, Stroman, Hutch, Norris, etc. Good young pitching is the only way this organization sniffs the playoffs. Just wasting some of these hitters with this garbage pitching staff.

 

[Longshot]

Lol, Paul Beeston sitting there looking none too happy.

He needs to go. Big Man on Campus last year when they were throwing money around, making big trades.

The Invisible Man this winter.

His: "We do business like it's 1992" policies are killing this organization. His role needs to be symbolic and nothing more.

 

[Rancourt Fist Pump]

Here we go, come on Colby.

 

[Rancourt Fist Pump]

Aaaaaah! Chit

 

[Longshot]

Colby just lost at the plate.

Last year looking more and more like a fluke every day.

 

[CherryToke]

Look at Jenkins numbers in the majors to date. He's been good in every call up. He came into a tough situation and didn't do well. That happens

Agreed. Gibbons is borderline Pejorative Slured.

 

[canucksfan]

What a joke. 8 walks, no hits in just under 3 innings. How is that possible?

 

[dredeye]

Colby just lost at the plate.

Last year looking more and more like a fluke every day.

Well it's a contract year so maybe the jays will be able to save some cash on him lol

 

[canucksfan]

I think AA might get canned if the team continues to suck.

 

[dredeye]

I think AA might get canned if the team continues to suck.

I don't think he'll be fired because ownership kind of ****ed his ability to improve the roster

 

[RayzorIsDull]

I think AA might get canned if the team continues to suck.

It may happen. I don't think Gibbons is a good manager but I don't know what he can do when your starters can only give you a couple innings. Gibbons will take the fall imo before AA gets canned.

 

[Suntouchable13]

This is depressing. When are we ever going to see meaningful baseball in Toronto in September? Now you're looking at close to 30 year playoff drought with another rebuild.
