One assumes you were actually using the term cojones. Osuna, himself, may have seemed like a kahuna due to the wizardy of his change-up.

One other point: I think the Jays' willingness to have a short bench is the result of two things:

- Their AAA club is in Buffalo, not Las Vegas. They can have an emergency replacement available quickly if needed.

- They don't really need any reserve players to fill a role (except for Navarro as spare catcher). The starters are good enough defensively that late-inning defensive subs are no longer needed. Everybody but Goins is good enough to not need to be pinch-hit for, and even Goins has been doing better lately.

The extra pitchers serve one useful purpose: having people around to handle extra innings. If a game goes into the 13th or something, Schultz and Hendricks are available.

Late inning offensive subs are needed for a third of the lineup though, so having flexibility to do so would really help. It's hard to see that when the team carries a lead late in seemingly every game recently, but it's true. The proximity to Buffalo holds true on both sides of the ball; If the bullpen was burned in a game, you call up an 8th reliever for the next few days. Keeping an arm around in case you get to the 13th inning as opposed to having an extra bat around for all the 9 inning games you are going to play seems counter-intuitive to me.

Gibbons really can't win. If he pulls his starter too early for some, he is accused of following a slavish addiction for unnecessary pitching changes. Accusers conveniently ignore that Jays have the 4th fewest relief appearances in MLB and the 7th most innings pitched per relief appearance.

If Gibbons allows his starting pitcher to pitch deeper into games than some think is warranted, he is accused of sleeping at the wheel, curiously reluctant to use a pen that many insist he is solely responsible for architecting.

The odd time where the majority agree he pulls his starter at the appropriate time and the bullpen then struggles, his accusers rail against his incompetent bullpen management and failure to put pitchers in a position to succeed; the Jays MLB 7th best relief ERA and 3rd best relief xFIP notwithstanding.

I won't even touch the constant lineup criticisms for a team that is leading MLB in runs/game by a country mile.
