This one stings, especially amid the Jays slump
When it rains, it pours.
With starter Alek Manoah putting together a relatively strong outing into the sixth inning, Schneider trotted out to the mound to talk strategy with his ace. However, Schneider had forgotten that pitching coach Pete Walkwe had already made a mound visit in the inning, and since MLB rules state that a second mound visit in an inning must accompany a pitching change, the Jays manager had no choice but to pull Manoah out of the game.
"I f***** up," the 43-year-old admitted. "But I think, regardless of my f***-up, it was the right time to get him out."
