6/3 - 6/9 Game Discussion Thread

[55]

Rays have an off day on Monday followed by 3 games @ DET and 3 games VS BAL.

Just hoping for 3-3 this week. Anything more than that is a bonus.

Well, in the anticipation of hockey season ending, I'm starting to pay attention to the Twins/baseball.

Maybe getting back to .500? Yes, we've been against bad competition lately, but we're actually beating the bad competition. Unlike the last couple seasons. Progress.

I'm also a little surprised Kyle Gibson hasn't been called up yet. I figured with his innings limit, and how bad our pitching is, he'd be up by June 1.

Yasiel Puig playing RF, and batting leadoff. /popcorn

Re: 6/3 - 6/9 Game Discussion Thread

I'm all-in on Puig and just grabbed him in every league I am in.

Hey look, Domonic Brown hit another homer.

Re: 6/3 - 6/9 Game Discussion Thread

It's official. Domonic Brown is the hottest player in the game right now. Just hit his NL leading 17th home run. A 2-run shot to give the Phillies a 5-2 lead over the Marlins. Dom Bombs dropping everywhere!

Re: 6/3 - 6/9 Game Discussion Thread

Delmon Young goes back-to-back with Domonic Brown for his 5th home run of the year!

Man. Dom Brown.

Spoiler

Thank you sir, may I have another!

Also:
Vin Scully was indirectly politically incorrect, but hilarious after that last play by Puig: "That is one happy Cuban!"

Too bad they don't score for OF assists, that frozen rope from the RF warning track was .

Here's hoping the Blue Jays can put another walloping on the Giants.

Here's hoping the Blue Jays can actually win series, regardless who they face.


Jays have to be the most unbalanced team ever lol. Some years they have some of the best pitching staffs in the league(especially during Halladay days), but offense sucks, other years they have one of best offensive teams in the league(Bautista days), but pitching sucks.

Is John Gibbons the worst manager the Blue Jays ever had, or have they had managers that are worse than him?

Well this should scare you to know but Gibbons prior to being rehired had the 2nd best record of any Jays manager.

Yeah.....

From a tactical point of view I think Jim Fregosi was worse but it's a toss up between those two and Jimy Williams (mostly for sabotaging what could've been an even better squad from '86-'89) for worst managers in Jays history.

You picked guys with winning records? I'd say, given circumstances, a lot more was expected of Farrell. Buck wasn't all that impressive either. And of course Gibbons. I don't know why people thought this was a good move to begin with.

And Gibbons didn't have the 2nd best record. I guess you forgot about Cito and Cox...

d'oh right sorry I meant 3rd best or maybe i'm totally not remembering properly.

I put Williams high on my list for squandering the resources he had. He badly mismanaged the '87 stretch drive and his feud with George Bell in '88 more or less soured the entire team. He was a guy that also didn't earn much respect with the pitchers either.

As for Buck, I feel a bit bad putting him in the bottom 3 managers of the Blue Jays because I think he was a bit ill served by JP Ricciardi's handling of things. At the very least Buck and Mel Queen deserve some credit for salvaging Roy Halladay's career.

As for Fregosi? The guy was a bum and didn't have the best grasp of on field managing other than hoping for the 3 run HR.
