Sat Mar 29 20:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Blue Jays Manager Schneider’s Heated Exchange with Umpire Goes Viral
**Toronto, ON** – Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider’s expletive-laden disagreement with home plate umpire Will Little during Friday’s game against the Baltimore Orioles has gone viral. The incident occurred in the first inning with the score tied 0-0 and runners on first and third. Blue Jays second baseman Andrés Giménez, facing a 2-2 count, was called out on strikes for a swing umpire Little deemed to be a full swing. Giménez protested, believing the pitch grazed him, leading to Schneider’s heated outburst. Apple TV+ microphones picked up Schneider’s incredulous reaction, “How the f— are you gonna call that?” Despite the heated exchange, Schneider was not ejected.
While the first inning remained scoreless, the Blue Jays went on to defeat the Orioles 8-2, with five players recording two hits each. The win marks Toronto’s first of the season. The two teams will face off again Saturday at 3:07 p.m. ET.
