Well, as mentioned the firing on a long weekend would get lost in the long weekend media/news cycle, same goes for the GM crawling out of the hole on a Saturday morning of the long weekend.
Though him backing him is a kiss of death to Schenider, this just starts the public clock starting to tick on the need for his words of a "massive" turnaround.
After these Tampa games they have the putrid White Sox 6 of the next 10 games, with a Detroit series in the middle of those.
That stretch really well be the fate of Schneider, certainly if they come up even close to just .500 against the White Sox. Again, the long weekend timing and the notion of 6 games in the next 2 weeks vs the worst team in baseball, sets the deadline on when things have to better or else.
