Saving the heroics until late on Friday plus a grim doubleheader Sunday equal, like, one genuinely fun inning out of 27 in New York for your sliding Toronto Blue Jays. Not ideal.
We are playing such a boring brand of baseball at the moment. It’s a bad sign when I can’t even be bothered to watch the condensed game recaps. We are only 2 games under .500, but it feels like it’s a house of cards.
I'm not seeing improvement from Schneider on in-game decisions. He seems to suffer from a lot of bad luck, but he also goes against the grain a lot, and it typically backfires. I'm just not seeing leadership material from him, but hey, I'm not in the building and not in the meetings, so who knows. Something just hasn't seemed right since Gibby left, I just can't put my finger on it.
Also, umps dislike Schneider/Walker because they are constantly bitching---more than coaches from other teams. (Admittedly easier to compare with MLB-TV, where you can watch the other teams' feed and see more shots of their coaches.) Schneider has gotten a tiny bit better since his first season when he absolutely would not shut up - but still he's yapping too much. Walker just needs to shut up. They are not helping the pitchers or the hitters!
I know this may be ridiculous but has Trump's tirade against Canada had any affect on the way umpires or other teams are treating the Blue Jays?I know that baseball people are pretty conservative and I hope that is not standing in the way of our team.

Interesting question!
