I'm not neccesarily a fan, but I don't mind Schneider. I feel like he's become better as a manager and he's not as bad as some think.

Unfortunately, he's got the analytic nerds feeding him data that detracts from making decisions based on live game factors. Whoever manages the Jays has to deal with the nerds.

Seems like people forget that he's a green manager. Before getting his shot he had way more experience in the minors and no managing experience in the majors. In those years at the helm he showed that he's adaptable and will learn from his mistakes which is the main thing, he had a lot to learn. He still does weird stuff, sometimes it pays off other times not but he's willing to try and learn. That's pretty much all you can ask. On top of that he believes in his players and empowers them which gave us the emergence of guys like Ernie, Barger and Luke's. I love that about him and hope he doesn't change. I'm sure this past journey will make him a better coach moving forward.

Jomboy exonerates IKF's lead, but the slide is still a problem.

9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

I mean in hindsight, sure. But Smith was effectively blocking/standing over the 3B side of the plate when IKF began his slide motion (with his leg only being brought back over for the throw) and the natural inclination in that spot is also to slide to break up any possibility of a double play.

Just not sure it is quite so simple as to say run through the plate in that moment.

I really think we would've got a Santander pinch hit grand slam to walk off the world series if he was healthy

Yeah right, he was going to be almost as bad as varsho. He hadn't been Healthy all year, and performed the worst in his career, wouldn't count on him for anything this past year. Hopefully he'll be a good bounce back candidate cause I'm certainly not expecting the same kind of performance from springer, Clement, etc
