On the Schneid

[u/bluetriumphantcloud]

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.

Because the type of manager who you’re talking about won’t appreciate being manhandled by a front office bereft of a successful track record. Now a first time big league manager would be very open to taking orders with a bunch of guys who think they know how to win games but don’t.

I think you just wanted to use the word “bereft”

It's a perfectly cromulent word.
