But wasn't the great starting pitching cancelled out by an inconsistent bullpen and the offence having an off year?
In 2015 the Jays had 232 HRs and outscored opponents 891 to 670. In 2016 they had 221 HRs and outscored opponents 759 to 666. Pitching was about the same but the offense had a massive drop.
If anything Gibbons should be praised for only losing 4 more games compared to 2015 while the team scored 132 less runs.
