Blue Jays Happy Hour - Episode 103: Off the Schneid?

Talking John Schneider's job, a lineup confidence check, nostalgia for 2021, and more!

The 2023 Blue Jays continue to give us whiplash as they swing back and forth between good vibes and bad, and earlier this week things were bad enough that there was even chatter — though not of the particularly serious variety, as evidenced by the fact that a couple of wins and a few hits with RISP seems to have instantly quieted it — that manager John Schneider’s job might be in trouble.

A Scheider-focused vibe check, the potential fallout for Ross Atkins of making the rash decision to fire another manager, a hitter-by-hitter tour through the lineup giving out confidence ratings, and a painfully nostalgic philosophical question about the 2021 Jays were just some of the topics we touched on in this week’s episode. (Apologies to Ernie Clement.)
