I thought the same thing at first, but I am hoping it’s due to the fact that they are trying to fix his swing and he’s still uncomfortable in the box with the changes. Hopefully he can start to make good strides within a few weeks when he’s getting comfortable with the corrections.

I like the move. As many have mentioned, they are probably going to try and completely breakdown and fix his swing. Going through all of that and feeling the initial discomfort while at AAA (facing better pitching) he could go through the same struggles he is now and just resort back to his old ways. I'm hoping that they send him down there,until they feel he has checked all of their boxes, and then send him to AAA to make sure he sticks with their corrections before bringing him back up.

I would love to have him. I would not love to have his contract.

From what I am seeing he would be just the 5th player in franchise history to reach 100 HR and 100 SB!

Thanks! I was just curious and confirmed that my high expectations only made me remember the couple games where he has multiple strikeouts. I really do hope the FO will give him a week or so cup of actual playing time right before Sano returns although I doubt it will happen.

Does anyone know Gordon's strikeout rate? Just seems like he's striking out atleast once a game (but i could only be noticing the games he does because of high expectations). Just wondering if it is alarmingly high, and if so if that is something from keeping the front office from promoting him since we already have people striking out a ton at the MLB level. With all the injuries I'd love to see him get a cup of coffee before Sano comes back, so he knows what he needs to go to triple A and work on.

I get what you're saying and the man has certainly forgot more about baseball than most of us will ever know. With that said I don't think he deserved that last year. I know we went worst to the playoff but I think that had more to do with good play than good managing. In my opinion he was flat out out-managed in the playoff game last year plus im sure plenty more. I don't think I could do a better job than Paul but I do think that they could have found someone better to do the job. That is where any of my complaints come from.

Is our bullpen that bad that we are leaving a guy in that has been getting hit all game to throw 106 pitches? Sadly I know the answer is yes but its just horrible.

I hope the offensive has it in them to not leave it up to the bullpen.

That one had to have stung a bit for the front office.

Anyone know why Toronto's manager got ejected?

Its incredible to see how his fastball just appears to jump out of his hand after an off speed pitch. Gotta be tough for a hitter to try and catch up to.

The Fox Sports app is free as well! Atleast it was for me maybe i got lucky.

Get the Fox Sports GO app on your phone and you can watch it at work! That's what I am currently doing.

Yeah I agree that was definitely part of it, but I am very certain that I read something about him being very popular among the players and that was also part of the reason. But that also very well could have been a cover up. Just hope is leash is a heck of a lot shorter than we all think because I am not a fan.
