Blue Jays Manager John Schneider Confirms All Hands on Deck for Game 7 Against Dodgers
Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider has confirmed that right-handed pitcher Max Scherzer will start the decisive Game 7 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. However, Schneider did not rule out any other pitchers from making appearances in the game, saying "Everyone that is active on the roster will be available to pitch."
In a surprising twist, Schneider mentioned that even Kevin Gausman, who pitched in Friday's Game 6 and threw 93 pitches, might still be an option for Saturday's game. The Blue Jays manager emphasized that it would be "all hands on deck" as the team looks to win their first championship since 1993.
Scherzer, a future Hall of Famer, is expected to take the mound in one of the biggest games of his career. Schneider expressed confidence in Scherzer's ability to navigate the emotions and pressure of Game 7, saying "Very confident. Him, everyone. It's the two best words in sports, Game 7."
On the Dodgers' side, manager Dave Roberts has indicated that all pitchers except for Yoshinobu Yamamoto will be available. Tyler Glasnow and Shohei Ohtani are expected to play a significant role in the game, while Blake Snell, who pitched on Wednesday night, is also ready to contribute.
The World Series concludes with Game 7 scheduled for Saturday night at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET. The Dodgers have the opportunity to become baseball's first back-to-back champion in 25 years, while the Blue Jays are chasing their first title since 1993.
