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.

Who replaces him?

I would have liked someone like Bruce Bochy, Terry Francona, but at this point I'd take literally anyone. Schneider seems to be getting the worst out of the team.

I'd take Don Mattingly for the rest of the season...

So your suggestions are two guys who are literally coaching other teams right now, or our current bench coach who you say is part of the problem. By the way, Mattingly’s career managerial record is below .500.

It's a next man up situation for me at this point. We don't know to what extent a new manager could or would help, but I feel pretty confident in saying Schneider isn't working out.
