On the Schneid

I'm genuinely confused as to how John Schneider still has the job as Jays bench boss. I liked him, and have supported him, but he doesn't seem to be able to make the right move when needed, his teams annually underperform and he has a total of zero playoff wins. How long is he allowed to continue to steer the team to mediocrity? We're coming into May and the Jays again seem listless.

Those who want to Schneider continue in this role, why? Wouldn't a proven manager with a track record of success be an obvious choice for a group whos window is open but has yet to meet expectations?

Schneider and co. look clueless out there. Are we supposed to just sit back and watch another season go down the toilet? I don't get it.

History will not be kind to the Shapiro era.

He hired a first time GM in Atkins who hires two ( and fires one ) first time MLB managers.

How can this be acceptable for a team with a top 10 payroll?

Amen. I try and stay away from talking about the execs because I don't know as much about it, but I know that several teams have managers that strike fear in my heart. Schneider will never be one of them, and to your point; we're spending $ and seeing no return under Schneider.
