[Hazel Mae] What needs to happen to snap out of this offensive funk: “.. string together a couple of hits w/guys on – whether it’s getting a guy in from 3rd with less than 2 or, getting a couple of hits in a row like we did in Texas. Sooner or later you got to hit a home run.” – Schneider

1. I keep saying that about vlad but I don’t think its working

2. This team needs some PB and Js and Jesus!

3. Stringing together singles is easier said than done against good pitching, hitting a homer or two still wins ball games, that’s why Vladdy’s loss of power this season has really hurt this team despite having 40+ rbis.

4. What needs to happen is fire our clown management

5. Can we bring back the HR jacket? I know it’s a prop, but it can’t hurt with team moral can it? Remember how proud and driven the guys were to get to put that thing on??

6. If they want to start winning they just need to stop losing.

7. I have to preface this by saying, I’m a Schneider fan. I’m from Vancouver and am thrilled to see a Canadians coach make it to the big leagues.

   With that being said, I feel that John has lost the plot. The narrative he has come in with is to be the hard coach – no more fun & games – have to get the back-to-basics stuff right. Quotes like the above are speaking to impending luck. A coach shouldn’t be hoping for some luck.

   Unfortunately, I think Schneider’s presence has hurt the culture of this team. I can’t put my finger on what exactly is wrong, but there is something very off about the Blue Jays. They are not functioning as a team. Players seem to be frustrated. Successes are rarely celebrated.

   Everyone always says the seasons is a long haul. Take the fun out of it and I can’t imagine players wanting to be on this ride much longer.
