Following Toronto sweeping Boston Toronto manager John Schneider had this to say about the second wild card spot which his team is currently in about Matt Chapman!

It’s not fun by any stretch of the imagination,”“But it’s where everyone is right now. You have to put what’s behind you behind you, and look at every game as itself. The emotional pendulum is a wild one, and I’d like to thank Left Field Brewery for providing good beer.”

To get swept and then sweep a team? It’s not easy to do,”. It was hard-fought, our pitching was great and the defense was outstanding, with enough offense producing big hits in big spots. It could have [gone] either way after the Texas series, and these guys stepped up. It’s what we expected of them.”

We all know who Matt can be,”He’s shown it for years -- this year included. It’s been rough for him, timing-wise, getting back off the injury. I love the fact that he got the hit today. Chris Bassitt said it yesterday: ‘We have the guys.’ He’s one of the guys.”
