Blue Jays GDT: (2015 v39) Next: vs NYY| Mon, Sept 21| 7pm ET/4pm PT| Warren vs Price

[Acoustic]

See that's good managing, Gibbons needs to take a note.

 

[Swervin81]

We can't trot out Pillar and Pennigton every day.

Yup. Barney and Pompey need to get a few starts down the stretch, especially to give Pillar rest since he's been overworked.

 

[Eyedea]

See that's good managing, Gibbons needs to take a note.

And what exactly should he be jotting down in his notebook?

 

[Acoustic]

And what exactly should he be jotting down in his notebook?

How to manage a pen VS the hitters that are coming up. Get in there and slow things down, not rocket science.

 

[Longshot]

I don't know about anybody else, but I'm really sick of Gregorious.

 

[Acoustic]

I'm sick of the Yankees.

I don't see how he hasn't managed it well. The pen has been top 5 in baseball in the 2nd half.

 

[Longshot]

I'm sick of the Yankees.

I'm never sick of a team the Jays are 12-4 against...

 

[Bad News Benning]

tonight is a night you need to go 120 pitches with Price as long as he's pitching well.

 

[canucksfan]

I find Gibbons manages his BP very well but at times he doesn't manages his bench well.

 

[Acoustic]

I don't see how he hasn't managed it well. The pen has been top 5 in baseball in the 2nd half.

So the Pen is stacked in general. Doesn't have much to do with how a manager uses it.

I mean, how hard was it during the big run to go Sanchez-Osuna when it was 9-2?

 

[Longshot]

tonight is a night you need to go 120 pitches with Price as long as he's pitching well.

If the game is close. If the Jays put up a few more runs and take a big lead you don't extend Price.

 

[Acoustic]

Good inning.

Well sure it does. He's been keeping them fresh when the hitters explode, it's not his fault the guys can't shutdown a team every single time out.

The Jays pen was regarded as being "bad" through the first half of the season and they were still in the top half of baseball. He clearly understands matchups.

 

[Bad News Benning]

If the game is close. If the Jays put up a few more runs and take a big lead you don't extend Price.

Oh obviously. we have struggled to bust the door open the last few games after getting a lead which cost us. We need one more big hit from someone in this lineup to really put this game out of reach.

So when the Jays got Sanchez in there, Hawkins, and Lowe the bullpen got better, and that's because of Gibbons?

[Longshot]

Is the Yankees bullpen this weak?

Second guy out of the pen in the 5th inning in a 3-0 game is a guy with an ERA over 7.00, who is basically a Sept. call up?

 

[TootooTrain]

Man pitchers are just giving JD nothing to hit lately.

 

[Acoustic]

I don't think Gibbons is a good manager, that's my personal opinion, we are all Jays fans though, so if you think Gibbons is good, that's cool. Let's all be friends.

 

[Discoverer]

So the Pen is stacked in general. Doesn't have much to do with how a manager uses it.

I mean, how hard was it during the big run to go Sanchez-Osuna when it was 9-2?

And the Yankee bullpen isn't stacked?

I like Gibbons. I think he's good at getting good matchups at the plate and on the mound. I've come to the conclusion that everyone thinks their team wins in spite on the manager. You may be surprised how much Yankee fans hate how Girardi manages games.

 

[Eyedea]

So when the Jays got Sanchez in there, Hawkins, and Lowe the bullpen got better, and that's because of Gibbons?

Uh where did I say that? Do you agree with the notion that the Jays pen was bad before those guys were added then? Because they weren't. If you do believe they were bad, they you should still give him props for working an average pen from a bad one.

In any case, he has managed everyone particularly well.

They weren't good.
