Gregor Chisholm: Blue Jays thoughts: Blaming John Schneider for Yankees collapse? It’s not always the manager’s fault

Leaving a struggling lefty in to face Aaron Judge when you had a righty ready to come in was objectively the wrong choice though
Again. Had Mayza gotten the 9th, we win that game.
That’s where he dicked up.
But I agree, he can’t throw the ball for them or swing the bat. Honestly I feel like everyone hates Schneider but his decisions have been mostly good. The hit and runs, the subs at the right time, thd pen usage besides yesterday.
IMO Swany should have gotten another inning or two in at AAA before being brought back to the bigs, he wasn’t dominant in his rehab innings before this, and he had such a disrupted spring that it would have been good to let him ease into things a little more. But that’s on Atkins, there was no need to bring both Romano and Swanson up at the same time with Pearson looking so good.
Schneider is not the answer and has never been the answer
Last I checked, Schneider never threw a pitch nor swung a bat. But Blue Jays fandom likes to trash the skipper
And cue the overreaction hot takes. Taking 2 of 3 from a team that has only lost 6 games and ending the homestand 6-3 and still, out come the pitch forks. We’d all love perfection and sweeps but maybe we need to keep things a bit in perspective.
I think the mistake was made when he didn’t let biggio bat and put in clement. I think cavan would have made that play. I don’t trust most of our RP at the moment so it really didn’t matter who was pitching. This is just another fuck up in a long list of fuck ups
This sub just blindly blames managers instead of recognizing the players are just overrated. Looking at you Vlad
I’m not his biggest fan as a manager but sometimes your bullpen just blows the game. For every Swanson blown save like yesterday you get a game where you win in the 9th off Josh Hader
I’m just going to say this. Atkins and Schneider and lots of the baseball ops have lost the trust of the fans, and they have done nothing to earn that trust back. The response to once again being schooled in the Wild Card was to move around deck chairs and pretend nothing was wrong. We watched the Blue Jays ship hit the iceberg. We know it is going to sink, but they are trying to lead us to believe a lie.
It is when he puts a guy like Swanson who had barely any time to get his game at the level it was last year. He had other options like Nate.
Sometimes it feels like he’s still managing with a minor league mentality, giving opportunities to players equally or testing out players in situations. Dunno, I don’t like that we lost and peobably wouldn’t have put Swanson in there, but. It is what it is.
We all know that the blame has to rest squarely on Dan Shulman for this one, after he alluded to the fact that Judge was going to be 0 for the series after what he assumed was likely Judge’s final AB before Judge reappeared in the 9th and clutched it for the Yanks.
Why wasn’t Yimi Garcia available? He pitched a total of 21 pitches over the 2 appearances earlier in the series. You would think he would be available if needed against the division leading rival.
The guy is in his first day back from rehab and he threw him in in a save situation. Did the same thing with Romano and just got away with it. Then does not bring in a closer? Who else you going to blame?
Agreed, a loss is not always the managers fault. Last night’s loss was the manager’s fault, Gregor.
