Blue Jays-Dodgers World Series Game 1 Thread: Trey Yesavage vs. Blake Snell

GO JAYS GO!!!

 

Let's win game 1 that would be F'n amazing 

If George is playing any games in outfield, make most of them at home please.  Spare him a bit of the heckling at dodgers.

We're such underdogs in most people's eyes 

Win the first one and make everyone take notice 

"It's a little bit of a leap," Schneider said about Bichette potentially making his second-base debut in the World Series. "He's pretty realistic about how he feels and how he will feel if he's out there. So it's something we got to continue to work through. I think that if he feels comfortable doing it, I'm going to listen to players and trust them."

I think he DH's

They better not f*** us and post a dramatic video of him last minute shaking his head sitting between first and second 

Just play it safe and put Bo at DH for the first game.  If hes able to last the entire game and feels good then make the switch to Springer at DH.  

LET'S GO!!!

VAMOS BLUE JAYS!!!

Game 1 is against Snell.  He torched us in the regular season and he's even better now.  You have to throw everything out the window.  All the most recent stats and how guys are running do not matter.  We have to get him out of the game.  Stack righties, bring in the lefties once we get into the pen.

Springer RF, Schneider 2B, Vlad 1B, Bo DH, Kirk C, Clement SS, Lukes LF, IKF 3b, Varsho.

Schneider batting 2nd not Clement.  Clement swings early and often and Snell won't put anything in the zone and clement puts the ball in play off balls outside the zone.  Schneider has better pitch recognition and might work a walk. He'll see more pitches.  Lukes lefty righty splits weren't that significant.  He's making good contact this post season, so he's in.  Varsho is an auto out.  He's been better against lefties this year.  Most i leave him 5th or 6th, but he's an auto out against Snell.

Interesting lineup but have we ever seen Varsho in the 9 hole?  I don't believe so.

Varsho is due for one of his hot streaks where he hits a bunch of bombs.  Tomorrow would be a great time to start.

You don't remember September 16, 2023?

No way do they put Varsho in the 9 hole, he scuffled in the LCS, but that ain't happening. He's either batting 5th or 6th, which is fine considering his power.

Varsho has a higher OBP against lefties than he does righties this year.  SSS alert though.

I still can't believe I get to watch the Jays play in the Freaking World Series tonight!

I'll be playing this on repeat today.  Lol.

Literally who woulda thought at the start of the year the Jays would be in the World Series with home field advantage. One game at a time, lets get it boys

I have been fiendishly refreshing my browser for the last 15 minutes waiting for this roster.

LFG Boys.  What an incredible day to be alive.  All positive - all day - all series!  Let's shock the world.

I hope you live alone. 

Bo/Ty France on and Loperfido/Rodriguez off the roster

I don't know what the stats say but to my eye y-rod has been bad so glad they left him off

LFG Bo

Unfortunately I'm going to end up missing the biggest game in 32 years due to prior commitments. 

f***ing tough task for the boys, Snell is particular looked unhittable when we faced them in Los Angeles, there's no sugar coating the task at hand with their starters. 

Good luck to the boys. A game one win would be absolutely massive to set the tone and announce our presence.

Let's Go Blue Jays!

All RHH lineup is possible today with France and Bichette on the roster.  Will they do it?

Springer RF

Schneider LF

I don't see any scenario in which Varsho and Giminez don't play. Those are your everyday guys regardless of pitcher.
