The Toronto Blue Jays went into Sunday's doubleheader against the New York Yankees holding a 13-13 record, good for third in the American League East, but sat just two games behind the division-leading Yankees.
Blue Jays fans want John Schneider fired.
After losing their last three games, the Blue Jays currently sit fourth in their division, 4.5 games behind first place.
Athlon Sports reports that had they won both games Sunday, the Blue Jays could have pulled even with the Yankees in the standings, but that opportunity slipped away after a tough start by Kevin Gausman. He lasted only 2.2 innings, giving up six earned runs before being ejected from the game.
"Gausman was not the only person in Toronto's dugout who saw his day end early. Blue Jays manager John Schneider was also tossed from the first game of Sunday's double-header after storming towards the home-plate umpire and making his displeasure known." -Athlon Sports
Fans are taking to X to voice their frustrations with the current bench boss.
I really thought we were gonna get a new version (perhaps his actual authentic self and not Shatkin's puppet version) of John Schneider, but 9 games in and this is still the same old John Schneider. Fire him now. Worst manager in baseball.
Fire John Schneider! The team no longer believes. It's been 1.5 years too long. Grow a pair and fire him.
Someone fire John Schneider. How do you not put Raleigh on base there? His decisions put this team in shitty places #BlueJays
We'll have to wait and see what happens but if the Blue Jays continue to lose games in this fashion, it's safe to assume that Schneider's job will be in jeopardy.
