Soldier
not redeemed with gold but with His Blood
If I was President Mark Shapiro, GM Ross Atkins or owner Ed Rogers, I’d be hauling Schneider into my office and asking him these three questions about some of his roster decisions, bullpen usage and in-game management in game 7
1) Who gave Vladdy the green light when he was on a 3-0 pitch count (3 balls, no strikes) when Blake Snell was clearly pitching around him trying to get him to chase bad pitches? Had he walked, that would have maybe led to the Series winning run.
2) Why did you choose to not to try to advance runners in the 2nd with two on and no out?
3) Why did you continue to play Nathan Lukes in the starting and batting lineup when he couldn’t hit, get on bases and move runners for the vast majority of the series while Davis Schneider only started one game in the entire WS, game 5, and had two hits, one of them being a lead off homer on his first pitch in his first at-bat of the game?
4) Eric Lauer pitched 4 excellent and scoreless innings in that game 3 18 inning game but wasnt used again in the World Series anymore . Why ? You should have been used him at least once in the 8th or 9th, 10th 11th instead of Yesavage, Hoffman, Dominguez or Bieber. I understand your reluctance of using brendan little, but Braydon fisher or mason fluharty were available in the bullpen right there for duty. ( of course Kevin gausman and max scherzer weren’t going to be used last night for obvious reasons)
5) IKF being used as a pinch runner over Davis Schneider. What were you thinking? It’s not like IKF had much more speed and was a much better situational baserunner than Schneider. IKF lack of initiative, execution situational awareness on the base path in the bottom of the 9th inning might have cost a World Series title to the jays. He was too cautious and sloppy at the same time.
6) why you had Ernie Clement, the player with the most hits ever in an MLB post season hitting behind Daulton Varsho in the batting lineup tonight. Varsho is a great defensive outfielder with elite range, defensive coverage, speed, agility and a cannon arm but he struggled at the plate all,series except game 1. He should have been hitting in the 8th spot instead of the 7th
Then I’d tell him I’m having a hard time thinking why I should allow you to manage the Blue Jays next year, despite being two outs away from a championship in the top of the 9th.
Then I’d bring in the office the Jays 3rd base coach Carlos Febles, and bring up every play where he sent runners on no-force plays and were thrown out at home and 3rd and ask what his thought process was. Then I’d fire him. I will hang Monday’s game 3’s 18th inning loss and tonight’s game 7 11th inning loss squarely on his shoulders.
Myles straw was in the batting lineup as a pinch hitter breh… fukking miles straw. I have nothing wrong against him as a player or person, but he did not belong there. Again Davis Schneider should have been used instead in his place.
