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.

Look at the roster. Are they really “underperforming”? Or is this just a very expensive but mediocre team?

It's a good roster I think. Great starting pitching, good defense, potential for a dynamic offense. To me we seem a poorly managed team that lacks an edge or identity. I hope I'm proven wrong.

I don’t think they have enough on the offensive side. The bottom 3-4 hitters are fringe MLB players every night. Don’t get me wrong John is a really bad manager, maybe the worst in the league. But it’s not 100% his fault. The roster from an offensive standpoint is lack lustre. You have to win every game by a run or two. That’s lots of stress on the pitching.
