Wednesday night marked yet another disappointing start for the Toronto Blue Jays as they were shut out by the Houston Astros. The final score was 8-0.

Following a night where Davis Schneider saved the day for the Blue Jays, the team decided to sit him. This proved to be a huge mistake for them. According to Major League Baseball stats, the Blue Jays only managed one hit in the entire game.

Now, analysts are discussing what is wrong with this Blue Jays squad. Moreover, fans are looking for answers from the team's manager, John Schneider. After all, he is the one making a lot of these big decisions.

While speaking with Sportsnet, Schneider continued to downplay some of the issues that the team has had. He still has confidence in his guys, and for him, all that matters is Friday's game against the Yankees.

"That (Houston) pitching is good. You don't want to say it's early because every game matters. It's not for a lack of effort. It's not for lack of anything. These guys can hit. We have a really talented group. We have all the confidence in the world they're going to hit. It's a tough series. You know don't want to make any knee-jerk reactions. These guys are professionals and they're going to be ready on Friday.»

On Friday, the Blue Jays will be back in action against the New York Yankees. This will start a three-game series in New York before the Blue Jays come back home for their first match of the season in Toronto.
