Davis Schneider's dad had enough of Sid Seixeiro's comments about Myles Straw.
He fired back online after Seixeiro called Straw a moron, and he didn't hold back.
"This guy calling Myles a moron? Honestly wish he showed his face at a game and go down on the field during BP and face the guys he insults," he wrote.
He closed with a blunt final line, calling Seixeiro a coward for making the comment without ever facing the players directly.
That's a real family member defending a teammate, not just a fan reacting to sports talk.
Straw has been part of an unusual stretch for Toronto lately, even pitching an inning during last week's blowout loss to the Royals.
Whatever specific performance triggered Seixeiro's original comment, it clearly struck a nerve inside the Blue Jays' orbit.

Why these clubhouse-adjacent reactions carry weight
Parents of players speaking up publicly isn't common, and when it happens, it usually means something crossed a line.
Seixeiro has been outspoken about this Blue Jays team all season, previously making headlines with comments about Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s Hall of Fame case too.
Sports talk commentary is built to be blunt, sometimes deliberately so, to generate exactly this kind of reaction.
But when a player's own family responds directly, it shifts the conversation from media criticism into something more personal.
There's no indication Straw himself has responded to any of this.
For a Blue Jays team already dealing with a tense stretch on the field, this kind of outside noise is one more thing playing out around them rather than in the dugout.
Whether Seixeiro addresses the pushback on a future show, or lets it pass, is the next thing worth watching in this back-and-forth.
Was Davis Schneider's dad right to call out Sid Seixeiro over his Myles Straw comments?
