infinitebook Verified Member Posted September 17, 2023 Posted September 17, 2023 For all the hate JS gets, his decision to pinch hit Biggio for Chapman, single handedly saved the game for the Jays today. Score a win for Schneider today. He made all the right moves. Chapman looked pissed too, but these are the tough decisions that good managers make, even if it pisses off a veteran player. While I agree that was a great move, I thought he still made some questionable decisions. Letting Espinal hit in the 8th felt like a wasted opportunity to tie the game, and he really played with fire leaving Bassitt in as long as he did.

Olerud363 Old-Timey Member Posted September 17, 2023 Posted September 17, 2023 Cito's a f***in' Dingleberry, lol. I feel the Birds should've won 100+ games from 91 to 93, lol. Analytics win 100+ with those teams. Not just sitting Olerud for Carter, but for old Pat Tabler and Jacob Brumfied. Sitting Shawn Green for Ruben Sierra and Juan Samuel. Picking fights with the Media, calling them racists. I remember when Ricky Henderson was acquired. The Jays could have had 4 guys with an average .440 on base percentage in the top four spots. If they had hit Carter 5th behind them, Carter would have 100% won an RBI title that year (he was close and missed by 6 or 7). Instead out of 'respect' he had to keep White and Carter ahead of Olerud and Molitor. You had Molitor and sometimes Alomar hitting 6th. Decisions like this made no sense at all. He Cost the Jays 100 wins. Cost Carter an RBI title. So exactly how is this decision benefitting anyone? Then later overworking Guzman, Hentgen, Duane Ward. Also apparently fighting with Roger Clemens. Then apparently wanting to fire Larry Hisle (hitting coach who had the Jays with the top 3 averages in the AL). I think people who were young or not born in 1993 just can't relate to how bad 95-97 were. In a time where the game was just starting to really embrace analytics, the Jays were terrible. OK. Some posters will be pissed I'm going on about Cito again. But I don't care. The guy took 100 wins teams and made them 95 win teams but even worse took what should have been young 90 win teams and made them old 75 win teams.

Been watching this team since inception and don’t mind it. FTR I don’t think you are a lunatic like Dick does lol. Maybe a touch of an acquired taste with a unique posting style and insights/humour I often enjoy.

I think analyzing how a manager managed 25 - 30 years ago is never going to make sense, so…why bother? How and why games are managed the way they are is different. Cito had his pluses and minuses like every other manager

Captain_Obvious Verified Member Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 All this time I thought John Schneider was just a big leprechaun who sucks are managing baseball teams. Turns out he was playing 3D chess and setting up the team for the best chance to succeed in the playoffs.
G-Snarls Community Moderator Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 He was Garb. And had a stacked team

Grant77 Old-Timey Member Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 This year's Blue Jays were the first team in MLB history to beat every other team in a season. The Orioles also did it, but a bit later. That's a cool stat. I never noticed or heard anything about it.
Grant77 Old-Timey Member Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 I like Kikuchi, I really do, but this is one of the worst moves in Blue Jays history. I say that before any runs score.
