So remember when Gibbons just decided to pretend he didn't have a bullpen and just left an obviously tired/hurt Estrada in to get to 118 pitches? Here's his SP postgame: For all the s*** I give RV, he's never done something 1/2 as stupid and "I'm trying to get fired" as that BS. Way to protect your players, moron.

Todd makes it look easy!

Ok no walks buddy. Make 'em hit their way on, got some cushion.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 09:38 PM) What scouting report on the planet says throw him a slider when pitcher hits 98 No clue what they were thinking. If they threw him a Steve Stone special higher than high fastball at 97 he was toast.

Great swing from Avi there. Stayed back nicely.

looks overmatched.

when Avi hits this three run jack then you can put in Webb.

When did the Joey Votto put on a Melky Cabrera jersey?

Now that is the .300 batting Jose Abreu plate coverage.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 09:25 PM) Duke has been solid since his rough start to the year. The 2014 version of Duke was one of the most valuable relievers in baseball if he can recreate that success then this bullpen is loaded. You know that for the most part Robertson and Jones are gonna get the job done in the 8th and 9th.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 09:16 PM) Boy Benetti sure is confident. This Jays team can certainly get back three I know, he needs to stop talking so much about absolute victories and such. I've noticed it in other games as well. When there are 2 outs in the 9th and you're up three, sure, start talking about a victory.

GTFO Gibbons! Hit the road bum!

QUOTE (SouthWallace @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 09:12 PM) AJAX! Triple! 3-0!! will the owner of the ticket for back to back triples by navarro and jackson please report to...buy some powerball tickets!

QUOTE (chisoxt @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 09:11 PM) Stupid managing. You can't pretend that you don't have a bullpen that's what I was thinking...then I heard they let him go 129 last year? I mean, wtf! Are you trying to blow out his shoulder?

thank god it stayed in play. Would have screwed them out of a run.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 09:07 PM) Ugh tons of good fastballs to hit and his bat of course is too slow yep. had two right in a row 89 elevated and fouled them off. such a long swing.

helluva an AB, make them pay.

this ump has no idea what is a strike and now that he's changed his zone in game he's paying for it.

well, good hustle at least.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 08:43 PM) Man Abreu is sad to watch, these are pitches he usually sends over the wall He's way off balance, no power in his lower body.

Jose's bat is so f***ing slow right now.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 07:01 PM) How have we not learned yet that nibbling is why Q is successful? IKR, I wasn't going to say anything but I mean the guy is a dominant pitcher with a 91mph heater. There is a reason he has to nibble...

pretty nasty changeups to eaton.

at least they are making him work.
