He just thought play would be to first so he didn’t run. It’s a joke he’s still in this game and reflects really poorly on the field manager.


100% correct. He's braindead. You have 1 job when the ball his hit on the ground with 2 out and an open bag, and that's hightail it to your next station. You can't assume anything. He's doesn't think the game.

Maybe they’ll stop trusting Mayza at some point. Pitiful baseball this team is playing.

Schneider pulling a Montoyo by pitching to Ohtani with First Base open. The dumbest move anyone can make.

You expect to see some immaturity from a young team, but you also expect to see improvement over the years. This team is still the swing-for-the-fences-at-all-times, occasionally-brain-dead, fun-trumps-wins team it was two years ago.

The talent on this team is overflowing. We should have a huge cushion in the playoff race right now. And even if we make the playoffs, I have little confidence this team has what it takes to score runs consistently against top flight pitching - may be looking at another sweep. Hopefully Springer is healthy enough to make some things happen.

“We could have gone forever. (Raptors management) kept knocking on the door and I was like, ‘A couple more minutes.’ Because we were really into it."

We're a playoff team (right now lol) like I get a team 30 games under .500 making dumb errors like this. But were right there and the team just couldn't be bothered to try this weekend.

Beginning to look like this team needs more guys that have been there and done it. Maybe more guys that are actually serious about their craft.

Semien’s absence is felt for sure.

Something just isn’t right with the makeup of this team. Starting to think Atkins isn’t the guy to fix it.

I don't know how involved Shapiro is in the management decisions. If he's calling the shots, that's a problem as he isn't going anywhere (Ed loves him and he hired him to lead the stadium renovations, because apparently no one else can do it...). Now, if the GM gets autonomy, then yeah, Atkins needs to be replaced.

Frustrating to see Teoscar playing like it’s spring training, yet we can’t really afford to bench him as he’s an important bat for the team. Maybe he’s pouting for being put at #6 on the team? He’s a better batter than Bo and maybe Gurriel, but his effort is inexcusable for a team in the playoff race.

We have no level of consistent performance except for Springer.
The Manager isnt making all the decisions along with his coaches.
Its like we are being run by A.I. or something,so every win is a fluke.

Love Semien and I'm not even advocating that we should have signed him to that deal as it was and is absurd. Don't know or care what his stats are either. But the leadership and accountability and professionalism he brought and the respect he commanded are really inadequate on this team.

We need a manager that will change the clubhouse culture.

Schneider clearly ain't it. His in-game decisions are baffling more often than not (it's clear he was likely calling the shots when Charlie was here too), and the team is still as lackadaisical as they were under Charlie. We need a commanding presence to keep these guys in line. Schneider is neither a good tactical nor motivational manager.

Finite number of games; vanishing winning percentage.

Neither of them make any decisions when will fans realize this. The tactics comes from the nerds.

We just got swept from one of the worst teams in the league. This team just doesn't want it. They are not built to go far in the playoffs even if they were to make it.
