I think Gibbons is going by how they pitched their first games. Price said in post interview he was a bit nervous. He didn't pitch well in game 1, not sure if it was the 10 day rest or nerves. Think Stroman isn't phased by pressure so you're gonna get the same pitching from him in game 5 as you saw in game 2.
Understandable.
But he is David Price, and the Blue Jays made a blockbuster trade to acquire him.
I do not think they would have made the same trade to acquire Marcus Stroman.
Stroman is electric, but Gibbons had the best of both worlds for game five.
Price to start and if any trouble?
Stroman next man in.
Simply amazing.
Gibbons used Price in the 5th inning, and now has to remove him in the b-8th.
One of the more bizzare managerial moves I have seen.
Here comes Sanchez, because a starting pitcher, used as a long reliever could not get 4 more outs.
Today's game is pretty much why Gibbons was fired as the Blue Jays manager.
He is one odd duck.

Gibbons had it all.
All the chips.
He could have had both Price and Stroman available in game 5.
Instead he removed Dickey with 1 on and 2 out in the 5th?
It was the wrong move.
Sunday night, the Blue Jays lineup took back this series, and it continued today.
Then Gibbons decided he wanted to show how smart he was.
Dumb.
