Chapter 1: What were John Schneider's thoughts on the Game 5 loss?
Yeah, there should be some passion. This doesn't have to be boring. You don't get bored by baseball.
Okay, one thing the game needs is more people like you. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You.
Chapter 2: How did pitching decisions impact the game outcome?
You. You. You. You. You. You.
You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You.
Chapter 3: What updates did John Schneider provide on George Springer's injury?
You. You.
Wanted to see that part of the lineup, see different guys, right? We talked about it all series. Little's been one of our best pitchers in big spots. Tough guy to elevate, Cal's a really good hitter. I get it man, after that you gotta settle down and throw strikes too. So that's been part of Little's game, so has strikeouts. So again, I trust every single guy on this roster.
It's hard, no one feels worse than Little, no one feels worse than Sir right now, or me. But I trust every single guy on this roster. Today it didn't work out, but we've won two games in a row a whole lot this year.
Other questions for Schneids? We'll go to Ken and then Mike.
John, how much consideration for Hoffman there, go through closer, against their best?

Chapter 4: What challenges did the Blue Jays face during the eighth inning?
Yeah, I thought about it for sure. Again, I think being, decisions are hard. I think being convicted in a process is important. And you make a decision and you leave it behind you. You know, it's, It's part of baseball. Second guessing is part of it. Thought about it for sure. And again, we've relied on every single guy on our roster to get a lot of wins this year. So could have done that.
And then you think about who do you want in the ninth inning? Who do they have coming up? So yeah, we talked about that situation for sure. And unfortunately, it didn't work out.
Stay over there with Mike.
Chapter 5: How did the team respond after a tough fourth inning?
John, what's happening with Springer right now?
He's got right knee contusion. He had x-rays which were negative, which is a good thing. He'll probably do some more testing tonight when we get home. George is about as tough as they come. And I think he'll have to really, really be hurting to not be in the lineup on Sunday. So we'll see how he is. On that note, I know this is an awesome atmosphere to play in.
And it's really, really cool to play here. And I think the fans that were booing him should take a look in the mirror and understand what kind of player he is. And I'll stop there because when a guy gets hit in the knee and is in obvious pain and you have 40,000 people cheering, not the right thing to do.
Well, second row on your left, Schneids. You were able to come back in the fifth and the sixth with runs after a tough fourth inning. You had the bases loaded, nobody out. What'd you see happen in the fourth there?
Chapter 6: What is the significance of home field advantage in the series?
It's a weird way to not score with nobody out and bases loaded. Tough at bat from Varsh, didn't get on top of the heater or the split then in the dirt. I don't know, man. We had traffic all night. There's not a guy you went up with Ernie with the bases loaded to make contact.
So really, I feel like it was kind of one of those games, you know, up to that point, you scratch and claw, you get the lead and then didn't work out in the eighth inning. But I thought, man, we we played our game, had opportunities to score, you know, and we just didn't do it. And they did today. From your right, Schneids, Greg.
Hey, John, what's the message to the guys after a result like that, taking two out of three in Seattle and heading home now? Yeah, I mean, we still have home field advantage, you know, and as cool of an environment it is here to play here, I know that our fans are going to be ready for us to get home on Sunday. So I've said it all along, it's a seven-game series, you know what I mean?
And we did our job coming in here, taking two out of three, and we're going to go home and we're going to definitely be ready to play. You know, it's... Again, it turns from a seven into a five into a three.
Chapter 7: What messages did Schneider convey to his players after the loss?
It's a two-game series. We've won two games in a row a whole lot this year. That's what we expect to do starting on Sunday.
Third row on your right, Mitch. John, I'm just wondering if you talked to Brendan and Sir Anthony after the game, if you gave them any kind of message after that?
Yeah, pat on the ass, keep your head up, you know what I mean? Everything gets magnified at this time of year, you know? Decisions get magnified. Pitches get magnified. I get it. You know what I mean? It is what it is. But these guys will bounce back. Everyone on our team bounces back. And they're going to be asked to be in big spots again.
Chapter 8: What adjustments does Schneider believe the team needs to make for future games?
And I want them to be ready for it. So all we can do is enjoy the flight back to Toronto. Enjoy our beds and our homes.
our families and and we're gonna get after it on sunday you know what i mean it's i don't want these guys to crawl into a hole that's not who we are you know so we'll get after it on sunday we'll be ready to play i wouldn't have it in the way with this group you know our backs are going to be against the wall great we don't give a so um i hope those guys don't give excuse my language but
It's going to be fun, you know, and I hope these guys are ready for it. I know they'll be ready for it. And it's nice to get two out of three here. We played really well here this entire season.
A couple last ones. We'll finish with Mitch. we've seen the bullpen being really solid for like extended stretches during the season. There's stretches where you said they've had to throw more strikes. When you look at how they've kind of played in October, is there anything the group collectively, you want them to kind of change or get better at?
I mean, I think just as a whole, you look at our season, including the postseason, you want to limit walks, limit damage. This team is built around home runs you know and today that they out slugged us for sure so uh it just comes down to executing starters relievers everybody being ready for a situation and executing pitches that's it so um these guys be ready to do it on sunday
