Schneider's in-game management of the pitching staff is puzzling to just about everyone who follows baseball closely. It has cost them games this year and is a major reason why they got eliminated in the playoffs as you mentioned. I also wonder how much responsibility the head coach assumes for poor base running decisions. Merrifield should have been sent home on a fly ball at that depth in that situation no matter who the fielder is. Biggio should have moved to second on the long fly ball as soon as it was obvious that the throw from the outfield wasn't going to a cutoff man. I remember being taught these things as a teen. These guys are pros. It doesn't matter that he stole second later. An opportunity was wasted. Not smart baseball!

"White knuckle" Romano always with the dramatics, they should go all in for Shohei at the deadline. He will provide the much needed left handed thump in the 3rd spot and drive in some needed runs, this offense is awful. He's also a top end starter in the rotation, immediately #2 behind Gausman if not ahead of him. Can also be a valuable arm in the pen in a playoff series.
So essentially your getting 3 players in the trade.

He wants to stay on the west coast........But he doesn't want the attention that L.A. brings.
So I heard it could be Seattle where he wants to go. I'm talking long term here.
There's also a thinking that he might return to the Angels once he hits free agency.
He's said he wants to win though....
What is he now, 27 of 30? 90% save rate? I can white knuckle that.
Which trade is this? Which players? This is a 2 month rental.
So he'll be a starter and a reliever?
Only fair, Brian Woo hit two Jays batters, Vic Romano did what he had to do. Danny Jansen has a left forearm contusion, could miss a few games. Last month El Gran Capitan got hit on the wrist, enough is enough.
Blast from the past.
You really think he hit the batter as payback in a one run lead 9th inning save situtaion?
Elite or not elite. Who cares about adjectives?
27 out of 30 is what counts.
Can he keep it up? I hope so, but I don't know. He might blow every save the rest of the season. I'm just saying, so far...so good.
You have to send a message plus have confidence in your stuff. If Romano didn't, he'd be pitching at Christie Pits now.
Anybody in the farm system they want, even Manoah if they want him. Obviously this going to be a rental, no way the Jays sign him long term nor would he sign with us. His next contract is going start at half billion at a minimum with a capital B.
He's more valuable as a starter, he can used as a arm in the pen on short rest in a playoff series. Did you see how he led Japan over USA in WBC ?
OK.
I wonder if the Jays have enough in the entire farm to pry him away.
As well, I think that LA will want something that will help them now. The team is already bad and without SO and nobody in return to help them now, I think the fans would revolt. The Jays are trying to win now. Who would they give up as reasonable compensation from the current squad?
What scares me is Schneider being really well insulated with the administration. He is so not the guy.

Just wait to see if you'd feel the same way if Jays re acquired him and he started flubbing plays in the OF again!
