The Blue Jays benched Davis Schneider’s hot bat then mustered up one hit. There were multiple ways the Jays could have inserted Schneider into the starting lineup for Wednesday’s loss. They didn’t choose any of them. #Opinion by @GregorChisholm https://t.co/IliC8ClYMS

Twice in a three-game span, the Blue Jays were outplayed and borderline embarrassed. On Monday, it was a no-hitter. Then, on Wednesday, they were shut out once again. (@bnicholsonsmith) https://t.co/LNo6PX7pQA

What a performance by the Astros. Beat the Jays 8-0. Great pitching by Javier and the bullpen. Alvarez belts two home runs. Altuve and Peña with one each. Won 2 of 3 over Toronto. Headed to Arlington. Can’t wait!
Blue Jays set franchise records for the fewest hits (9) & batting average (.106) in a 3-game series Previous lows were 10 hits & a .112 AVG in a 3-game set vs the Red Sox from Sep 29-Oct 1, 1978
The Jays end the series with another rough loss. 😬 https://t.co/bv7FKobmxB

John Schneider on why Davis Schneider is not in starting lineup: “He’s a big part of what we're doing.. six games in, you want to just stay consistent.. So there does come a time where you don't want somebody to sit too long.. it’s like him, and Vogey (Vogelbach).” #BlueJays
While Davis Schneider isn’t in the lineup, John Schneider says Blue Jays are open to seeing Davis earn everyday at bats. Today, Jays like the matchups for IKF & Biggio so that’s how they’re starting the game. John Schneider spoke to Davis pre-game to check in.
#BlueJays -#Astros rubber match. No Davis Schneider. Daulton Varsho returns to starting lineup in LF, batting 5th https://t.co/RqTEewYfIp
Davis Schneider is not in the lineup tonight and I'm sure this will go over well with Blue Jays fans.
