Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider set the record straight in his post game scrum with the media on Wednesday.
The Blue Jays grip on the top spot in the American League East weakened Wednesday with a second straight loss to the Boston Red Sox during a crucial final homestand.
It was a bleak night for the Jays, who got a rough first inning from Max Scherzer, were dominated by Boston ace Garrett Crochet, and saw star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. ejected all during a costly 7-1 loss..
Blue Jays starter Max Scherzer gave up three runs in the first inning and allowed a Masataka Yoshida solo shot in the fifth.
Carlos Narvaez iced it with a three-run blast in the eighth inning off reliever Jose Berrios.

John Schneider spoke to the media after another crucial loss to the Boston Red Sox.
Visibly frustrated he didn't hold back on his thoughts of the state of the team.
John Schneider on the state of the Blue Jays:
«It feels like the sky is falling right now and it's fucking not. We've got 90 wins, we're in the playoffs and if the season ended today we're winning the AL East. I want them to come in and not press. I want them to play confident.»

He also insisted that the umpires have nothing to do with their latest skid.
John Schneider: "We're not losing because of umpires. We're losing because we're not scoring enough runs ... I don't want to feed into the narrative that the umpires are screwing us because they're not. We're not scoring enough runs."
The Blue Jays will close out this series with Red Sox on Thursday before the Rays come to town on Friday for the final three games of the regular season.
