No way any team can go into next season with Gregg and his 1.67 WHIP or 4.92 xFIP or +4.00 ERA as their closer.

If Gregg had a 0.00 ERA the O’s wouldn’t be anywhere near .500.
Jon Stark
sure, but for the same amount of money they could employ someone to fill that roll and at least be closer to .500.

“Both teams have only intra-division games left on the schedule, including three more against each other on the season’s final weekend.”
what are you talking about? the red sox play the YANKEES on the final weekend of the season and have a 4 game set with the rays in boston next weekend. come on guys, this is amateurish.

Intra division means within ones own division.

As a Jays fan, Ive seen this scenario too many times last year. The frustrating part is that Gregg self destructs in slow motion… anyone in the ballpark can tell he doesn’t have it… walk, walk, K, walk, wild pitch. It’s not like a bloop and a blast and the game is over.
Unfortunately, Bucky and Cito before him are locked into the “you live and die with your closer” mentality, instead of actually managing and getting him out of there before he loses the game. Cito did pull him once, the Jays won and Gregg was not happy about it.. Next time, Cito left him in however, with the predictable result.
Gregg could be successful a lot of times if you kept him on a short leash

I like Cashman, but c’mon, that quote makes it seem like it was all part of the plan. He did a great job, but I have a hard time believing that this season — this team — was what he envisioned…maybe in a dream. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining — I love how he’s like “yeah, I knew we didn’t need Cliff Lee or any other big shot. I rock.”
