Blue Jays manager John Schneider has his players back even in the midst of a dreadful season.
After Orioles closer Craig Kimbrel went up and in on a fastball that hit the Vladimir Guerrero Jr. between the numbers in the seventh inning Monday, Schneider quickly walked out of the dugout, seemingly angry, and said something inaudible to Kimbrel and catcher Adley Rutschman.
“Guerrero looks at Kimbrel and shakes his head. And why is John Schneider coming out now?” one of the Orioles announcers said on the MASN television broadcast with Toronto ahead by four runs.
“Maybe he’s just coming out to check on Guerrero and have a few words with Craig Kimbrel on the way.

“I don’t know why Craig Kimbrel would throw at Vladimir Guerrero Jr. there, but obviously John Schneider is protecting his player, and he’s upset about it.”
