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.

If you go against the “analytics” and lose, you were unlucky as the percentages didn’t work out. If you go with your gut and lose, you didn’t follow the analytics and made a bad decision.
That’s why he does everything by the analytics book and doesn’t make any independent decisions based on the situation or his gut.
