John Schneider CALLS OUT Yankees… Multiple HUGE Jays Updates | Toronto Blue Jays News

We have some wild news to go over today as following a very disappointing series in the Bronx, John Schneider has come out and called out the Yankees specifically surrounding Max Sher tipping pitches and the Yankees relaying them. I’m going to break down exactly what those comments were and what it means going forward as it sparked some serious discussion between the two fan bases. But not only that, folks, we have multiple Jays updates to go over today ahead of the biggest series of the year against the Houston Astros. And a tidbit of information at the end, an interesting stat you’re going to want to stay tuned for. Before you into it all, if you’re a part of the percentage who aren’t subscribed to the channel, this is the place to be for daily Jays content. Your guys support has been fantastic. You’ve been absolute beast with support. Folks, let’s dive right into it today. Now, there’s obviously a lot of news to go over. The Jays are coming off of a very unfortunate loss. There’s no other way to put it. A very unfortunate one. They should have won that game. You could argue they should have swept the series. They won one. They’re in a fine spot. But following the game, John Schneider has come out and called out the Yankees. Now, I want to preface it by saying he didn’t call them out in the sense of, you know, criticizing them for what happened, but he it really sparked some controversy from, you know, both sides here. He even got some players speaking out about it, and I wanted to cover it today. So, you can see this here. They were relaying pitches. They’re good at it. Major League Baseball knows the Yankees are good when they have something. Maybe I’m the only one that’s going to say it publicly, but we have to do a better job of making sure we’re not giving up anything and giving up anything away. So, or rather, we’re not giving anything away rather. So, uh, sorry. At the end of the day here, I want to get your guys’ thoughts on this because yesterday we saw I mean it was a unfortunate inning when Ben Rice had a crazy at bat against Sherzer. You’re thinking, okay, Sherzer can’t get anything past Ben Rice and then it comes out after that Aaron Judge I believe it was was you know flaunting his arms up and down calling for change ups when they were coming in. He was relaying his pitches, right? And Matt Sher was ultimately tipping. It is not, at least in my eyes, like I’m not mad at the Yankees for doing that. It’s well within the rules. I’m curious to see what you guys think about it because it really sparked some, you know, controversy here. Some Yankees fans are upset that John Schneider even said this. I think all John Schneider is saying is, “Yes, the Yankees are tipping. Yes, they’re allowed to tip and we have to be better.” The Jays that is at, you know, mitigating those tips, tipping of, you know, pitches. And the Yankees were giving them away. They were relaying signs and they’re allowed to do that. But it um it obviously for a series as big as this one had huge implications on that game. that three-run home run specifically, you know, changed the outlook of the game. And we even have Sherzer coming out and saying, you talking about the relaying pitches, the tipping, all these different things. He said, “That’s part of the game. That’s part of the game. That’s part of the game. That’s part of the game. It’s 2025. Everybody knows it. We live it. That’s just, guess what, folks? Part of the game.” So, I wanted to bring this up because at the end of the day, the loss yesterday was really rough. Like, they had multiple chances. We think about that third inning when they had runners on second and third with no outs. They couldn’t score. like it was really bad and all these different things. The Jays are in a fine spot. Now, regarding the tipping of pitches, I’m fine with what John Steiner said. I think he said it perfectly like they have to be better. The Jays have to be. We’ve seen instances over the past few years of Kevin Gosman tipping pitches, Chris Basset tipping pitches. They have to I think Jose Brios as well. They have to not tip pitches. It’s as simple as that. You have the pitch comp. You have so many ways to avoid that. And that’s what, you know, one of the main reasons the pitchcom was, you know, brought into Major League Baseball was, you know, for that. Correct me if I’m wrong, but like that’s part of the reason and the fact that you know there was okay it was Bellinger and uh you know Bellinger relaying it to Judge as well. There’s a bunch of different times where it happened here. You see here from Ty France Bellinger was kind of flapping his hands around relaying the pitch to Judge. Guys at first don’t typically flap their arms like that. It’s just part of the game. Clearly they were told to say or they want to say that it’s part of the game because ultimately ladies and gentlemen it is part of the game right and I’m not mad at the you know the Yankees for doing it. The Jays need to be better at it. But it was an interesting storyline in what was a very unfortunate loss yesterday and especially as you approach now crucial games against teams like the Astros that you’re fighting for an AL, you know, championship against and obviously teams like the Red Sox, the AL East, you got to avoid tipping pitches and hopefully they’re going to do that internally. And I’m happy that John Schneider said that that they have to do a better job of it because this is an isolated instance here. It’s not right. It isn’t isn’t an isolated instance at all for a matter of fact. And at the end of the day, if they’re going to continue to do this, the Yankees are going to continue to take advantage of it. and Joe Siddle, you know, Caleb Joseph, they were talking about on the broadcast. Some of them disagree with it. Like Joe Siddle, I don’t think doesn’t think it should be in the game. You know, obviously you can have your opinions. Let me know down below. Regardless of that, like that doesn’t matter right now. It’s in the game. Jays need to fix it or else, you know, the last thing I want to see is the Jays in the playoff race and especially a playoff game deal with relaying signs to uh rather tipping to the Yankees and them relaying signs, which ultimately you could argue cost him the game in yesterday’s because of that three-run home run by Ben Rice. But let me know below what your thoughts are on that. Let’s dive into a few other things here. Now, the fan base, you know, people seem a little bit upset following yesterday’s loss, rightfully so. I mean, I’m I was upset, too. However, let’s put things into perspective here. If we were to win 93 games and finish 11 and 8, which is very realistic, which is a 57.9 win percentage, the Yankees would need to finish the season 14-5 to win the division because of the Jays tiebreaker. Boston would need to finish the season 15 and three, including, you know, that series against the uh the Jays the last week of the year to win the division. All this to say, the Jays are in complete control of their destiny. They have a bunch of home games starting on uh, you know, against the Astros here tomorrow. They control their destiny fully and they have been so good, right? And at the end of the day, I am fully confident in this Toronto Blue Jays team and there was some doomers, some, you know, all these players who or sorry, people who are upset Jay’s lost rightfully so, and think the season, not the season’s over, but the AL is now out of uh, you know, where they’re not going to win and all these things. I am fully confident and I want you guys to leave down below in the comments. A, do these numbers make you feel better? But like B, how you’re currently feeling about this team? Because you would have liked to win the series against the Yankees. It would have put you in a much better spot, especially being up those, you know, four games plus one with the tiebreaker making it five rather than being up two games plus one with the tiebreaker making it three. They won the first game. They didn’t get swept and that would have been the uh the backbreaker there. And you know, Max Ter spoke out about the AL’s race. I love where our team’s at. I love the mentality and I love the guys and how we came together or how we come together. Sorry. We all believe in each other and we’re going to pick each other up. I’m glad I’m on this team. And for someone who’s won it before, who has been in deep playoff races before, you know, pennet races, division races, everything, right? To hear this from him, it’s about as good as it can get. And that’s why they brought him in for times like this. Struggled a little bit yesterday. Still gave him four plus innings. I’m, you know, I’m fine with his start. Unfortunate he was tipping pitches, but you got to come back and you got to win the uh win the game tomorrow. And that’s when it all starts. It’s like the series tomorrow is going to be the crucial one and again the AL’s race sher even spoke out on that. We’re going to go out and slug it out against each other and we just got to play our best baseball and that’s what it comes down to. We we’re as fans allowed to scoreboard watch and of course the players are too and they do to a degree. John Schneider admitted in an interview I believe. So they’re going to scoreboard watch but you have to focus on your own games and Sher’s been big on the fact that you shouldn’t scoreboard watch because you can’t control the uh the uncontrollable and that’s what that is right now. how the Yankees do against the Tigers starting tomorrow, I believe it is, or today, whenever, that’s not in the Jay’s control. Hopefully the Tigers can do the Jays a little bit of a favor and give them a bit of a cushion to breathe here. And hopefully the Jays do themselves a favor because you start a series tomorrow, a road, you know, homestead, six games against the Astros and the Orioles. Orioles been very good. And then you go on the road against the Rays and the, you know, Royals, a couple of worst teams. And then you finish up against the Red Sox and the Rays. It’s going to be a dog fight. A classic AL’s dog fight. We haven’t had one of these in a decade for the Jays here when they’ve really been fighting for an actual AL East, you know, win. And I’m excited for every step of the way. And ladies and gentlemen, I am just it’s exciting. And no matter how you feel about the tipping, no matter how you feel about baseball yesterday, the good thing about baseball, they played basically every day. Ironically enough, they don’t play today, but they play tomorrow. And you got to just continue to fight, continue to go each step of the way. in and let me know your prediction for the AL East, but also give me your prediction for uh for these games here because ultimately the uh you know, you have a decent stretch. I think for this home stretch, I’m going to predict, you know, 4-2. I think that’s a pretty solid spot there. Let me know down below what your thoughts are on that. One other quick note, Manoa, he continues to do really well. You know, subtly. His RA is under four now in Buffalo. His most recent start is five and two/3, six hits, seven runs, only two of them earned. He looked very solid despite the high run count, bad errors. He looked okay, right? He looked okay and I’m excited to maybe see what he can do next season. I don’t think this year is feasible, but he’s been a beast at the MLB before. Maybe he can be a beast at some point in the future. But folks, that’ll wrap it up. Thank you guys for watching. Cheers.

  1. I like this team but they don’t have a great closer, they lack power, and have way too many streaky hitters to win when it matters. This series showed a lack of situational hitting and clutch. Early in the season they were not afraid to bunt, hit something through a big hole, or knock something the other way to serve the team. Now it’s everyone going up trying to blast home runs and that’s not this team. They won’t go far I’m sorry to say unless they all decide to get hot at the same time.

  5. Jays are a better team than New york and Boston. The haters of Mark & Ross have been quiet .The lovers of AA should see how bad Atlanta is .The top 30 prospects are at 28 th and had zero pick deals this year. Toronto had a lot of deals and still ketp their top prospects. Ross has won most trades.

  7. Max threw one bad pitch – this is Blue Jays land, turning into Leafs "smarts", if you give up 1 run or 2 runs, you suck. IF a starting pitcher has an ERA under 3.5 that is really good, top tier, the elite has 2.5 and under. Max gave up 3 runs – How many fans/media have Gausman as a #1 suddenly moving him up 2 spots within hours, playing the hot inning per inning? Gambler's mentality doesn't jive with how to win sports games.

  8. You see that offense get shut down after Friday? ..If this was a play-off series, Jays down 2-1. Jays are a hollow team, first round fodder like the O's the past two years IF they get in – it's a tough week coming up and it will say soo much about this team. This is how value works: Yankee's gave their 8th and 14th prospect to get the 2 time All-Star Bednar who dramatically helped the Yankee's win this series, he was literally the difference in the last two games – Jays gave a 5th and a top 100 prospect for Varland and France both with zero play-off experience, niether made a peep this weekend – Varland costing the team runs and runners on base. Shatkins felt his two little pieces were more than one big piece, and paid more for two little pieces. Yanks pen since trade deadline around 3.8, the Jays 4.20 – the number doesn't look like a big gap but it is! ..shut down the Jays offense, you beat them, they have NOTHING else with strength but defense and "D" don't score runs – this is how the game goes kids … most runs wins. Last 7 days – IKF batting a solid .200 and Gimmie a solid .158 getting full playing time.

  9. 55% we win the al east imho… yanks have an easy schedule while every game we play is against a team with playoff stakes… not to mention yanks are hot

  12. Maybe John should be explaining his horrifying hit and run call in the 9th inning.
    John left George Springer (his best hitter) on deck in the 9th inning by putting Lukes slow ass in motion for no good reason whatsoever.
    Straw does not hit into double plays with his speed.
    John train wrecked the 9th inning with that call. Let Springer hit with a runner on first with a chance to go up 5/4 with a homerun.

    The dumbest hit and run call I’ve ever seen.

  13. Late July they were 20 games over 500 .. so they have been playing 500 ball for well over a month, in other words they have cooled off and remained that way. Because I believe in trends more than anything in predicting the future I fear they will give way to the Yankees as Yankees are trending up.

  14. Disappointing that Jays didn’t win but I have all the confidence in them. They are a great team and know how to correct or improve their position. Good luck healing Beau.

  17. The Blue Jays won 7-1 then lost two close games. I dont like this idea that one pitch decides the outcome of a game. What did the Blue Jays do with their 27 outs they had to work with?

  19. Been a Jays fan since the $5 general admission bleacher seats at exhibition stadium and will always support my team but this team will need alot of luck to go deep in the playoffs if they make it. Once again Atk8ns has shown his lack of foresight and his flawed player evaluations. The leagues has adjusted to the Jays relief pitchers and they have nkt made their adjustments to the league. Little is not getting swing and misses because hitters are not swinging at his curveball. He needs to throw it backdoor but he cant hit the zone. Over worked and over used early in the season and the deadline acquisitions have been shaky at best. If the coaching staff can make adjustments to their approach and usage then maybe the Jays can actually win a playoff series this year. Or maybe score enough runs in every game to compensate for a bullpen thaat cant throw strikes or hold aa lead. Iam hopeful but its obvious that the Jays are not as formidabke as this channel keeps saying.
