Beebs needs to step up. Really only Bassitt was lightly used today.

Assuming Springer is out (hopefully only for today?), I'd have Bichette DHing and leading off, shifting  a chunk of the lineup up 1 spot and inserting Schneider as the second baseman batting 7th.

DH    Bichette
LF    Lukes
1B    Guerrero
CF    Varsho
C    Kirk
RF    Barger
2B    Schneider
3B    Clement
SS    Giménez

Psychologically i think we come out of last night really well tbh. LA knows they're in tough this series.

But the uphill battle of being down a game and down springer is a lot to overcome for sure.

Let me get this straight:

Jays need to beat Ohtani with Bieber
Jays need to beat Snell with Yesavage
Jay's need to beat Yamamoto with Gausman or Glasnow with Scherzer/Bieber

Jays need to win these next two games as they likely won't beat Yamamoto down 3 games to 1. They will likely have to face Ohtani on short rest in a game 7. I don't know a lot about Ohtani the pitcher.

If we've got a sadomasicist here who isn't falling asleep at work this morning, why not do a trip down memory lane about the Jays failed pursuit of Freddie Freeman in the 2021-22 offseason? I am not your huckleberry.

Luckily if they face Yamamoto, it won't be 3 to 1. He's pitching game 6 (if necessary)

Yes we have to beat a very good team 3 more times. That's the job description.

Right, you're right. So they would have to beat him down 3-2 or up 3-2. What a big game that was to win for the Dodgers.

Psychologically i think we come out of last night really well tbh. LA knows they're in tough this series. I am at the complete opposite end of this spectrum. 4 er in last 27 innings is the key stat to me.
