The question in context stems from last April when Raleigh hit two home runs against the Blue Jays in a 10-8 comeback win. Schneider's remarks about Raleigh following that game are relevant here.
"He's not very tough to pitch to when you execute your pitches. He's hitting .200. I know he's done damage against us and I think if you execute, he's obviously got big damage potential and he's got a lot of strikeout potential, too, and when you execute your pitches, you usually get the job done." - Schneider
It didn't seem that Raleigh took the comments that personal, but maybe he just prefers to do his talking with his bat who has a career 1.091 OPS against Toronto.
"His comments aren't surprising and I don't have much to say. If you don't have anything nice, don't say it at all I guess, if you don't want it to come back on you. Like I said, he's got a lot of beef with people in the league and he kind of did it to himself."
