Kanada Kev Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Finalized ... FINALLY! Oh, and welcome back Mr. Gibbons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Man, I never liked Gibbons. He didn't DO anything. All I remember about him was that I found myself constantly complaining that he refused to manufacture runs. Kinda disappointed by this, not gonna lie.

Kanada Kev Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Second most wins as a Jays manager though. Maybe we'll see more with a new set of tools in the chest. He's got at least 4 killer runners on the team to execute steals and hit&runs. Whatever the case, the Jays success is on the players' shoulders. I like the players that we've got now (in terms of potential) than we had a couple of weeks ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Definitely excited by the potential! He's got at least 4 killer runners on the team to execute steals and hit&runs. This is where I'm worried. But you're right, circumstances are different this time around. Here's to cautious optimism! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Well, we genuinely have promise and hope for next season as Jays fans. I'm psyched. And I get my baseball fill every week with winter training (well, it is 10-year-olds) so it's always on the mind.Go Jays Go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Did you watch Brasil's triumph over Panama last night in the WBC qualifier?! BRASIL!!Cool your kid plays ball. We're putting in an indoor batting net in the local gym out here. It's rural Nova Scotia, so they don't usually get that sort of thing, and the ballplayers are stoked. I'm really excited about hitting all winter too. I've ordered an indoor pitching mound an L-Screen, and even a softball screen that has a hole just right of centre about waist high so rec leaguers can use it to. Sorry to get off topic, but I'm just really excited about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Didn't see Brasil ... will look up highlights, thanks. Yeah, my son plays AAA Ball in Mississauga. He's been at it 3 years now. Second Baseman and he loves it. My daughter's a goalie, but that didn't stop her playing catch with her trapper before practice started last night: This is the domed soccer field they'll be at through April. That's wicked that you got indoor facilities set-up. No need to forget about baseball just because it's winter in Canada, eh? Play Ball! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 (edited) I like Gibby. Never saw this coming though. Say what you will but he handled pitchers really well and had a couple of prima donnas to deal with. AA sounds excited. Interesting move.
