John Schneider has harsh message for Toronto Blue Jays as AL East race heats up.
Jackson Roberts from Newsweek recently reported on the impact of the loss for the Blue Jays against the Red Sox last night. The race for the AL East was all but won for the Blue Jays last week, but with some poor results over the weekend, the race with the Yankees is getting closer and closer.
Manager John Schneider had some things to say regarding the tight race.
"«We know it's going to come down to the wire, and we'll continue to stay focused on what we have to do rather than anyone else," Schneider told reporters, per Keegan Matheson of MLB.com. We've got another tough pitcher tomorrow in (Garrett) Crochet, so you've got to come ready and not say 'woe is me' about anything. Every game is going to be important.»
The Blue Jays had a 5 game lead on the Yankees just last week but after losing 5 of their last 6 games, that lead has dwindled down to only one game.
