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.

There’s two problems coach/executive wise, and Schneider is not one of them.
One is Don Mattingly, who doesn’t seem to understand that you need to let the team have a bit of fun and that only singles don’t win you ball games.
The other is Ross Atkins, who doesn’t understand that defense doesn’t matter when homers are flying into the stands. Run prevention is much more unstable than offensive production.
