Elimination Games, 1 and 2

This should be fun.

While we’re talking about managerial blunders, John Gibbons burning David Price for 50+ pitches in a 7-1 game is a real doozy — I would be even harsher than Neyer.  With Price unavailable for Game 5, any possible defense has vanished.  The Blue Jays could win anyway, but if they don’t I certainly wouldn’t bring back Gibbons next year.  I mean, at least Darrell Bevell had to make his catastrophically dumb decision in about 5 seconds (and the Seahawks were wrong to bring him back anyway.)

…well, that game was OK, I guess. And, yes, the Bautista bat flip was the best of the week and hence ever.
