Blue Jays manager reveals if any pitcher is off limits for World Series Game 7

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.
 
Game 7 is gonna be lit ๐Ÿคฉ! I'm hyped for Max Scherzer and the Blue Jays as they take on the Dodgers. Schneider's right to keep everyone ready, you never know what can happen in a game like this. The Blue Jays have been so close before, but this could be their year ๐ŸŒŸ. With Kevin Gausman being an option too, it's like all hands are on deck - literally! And let's not forget about the Dodgers' chances of becoming back-to-back champs... it's anyone's game at this point ๐Ÿ˜‚
 
OMG ๐Ÿคฏ this is gonna be a crazy game! Scherzer as the starter makes total sense tho, he's a pro and can handle all that pressure ๐Ÿ’ช. But Kevin Gausman coming out of the bullpen? That's a wild card! Can't imagine how intense it'll get with both managers trying to strategize ๐Ÿค”. The Dodgers are gonna bring their A-game, no doubt about it ๐Ÿ˜Ž. Tyler Glasnow and Shohei Ohtani, tho... those guys are on fire ๐Ÿ”ฅ. I'm all over this World Series finale ๐Ÿ†!
 
OMG, I'm so hyped for this Game 7!!! ๐Ÿคฉ It's gonna be insane with Scherzer on the mound! The energy is gonna be electric and I love how Schneider said it's gonna be "all hands on deck" - like they're all in this together ๐Ÿ’ช. I mean, it's been a crazy season and these guys have worked so hard to get here... fingers crossed for the Blue Jays ๐Ÿคž! Can you believe it's gonna be their first championship since 1993?! ๐Ÿ™Œ
 
idk what's going on with these Game 7 pitching decisions... like scherzer's a no-brainer but you gotta give kevin gausman some love too? it's all hands on deck for the blue jays tho ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’ช i just hope they can keep up the momentum from game 6 and take out the dodgers. max scherzer's gonna be under so much pressure, but he's got this... or at least that's what everyone's saying ๐Ÿ˜…
 
omg can u believe max scherzer is gonna pitch game 7? ๐Ÿคฏ he's like the ultimate guy for this moment!

i heard kevin gausman might still be in the mix too... would love to see him throw some heat on saturday ๐ŸŽฏ what do u think happens if the blue jays win their first title since '93?! ๐Ÿ†
 
idk what kinda pressure max scherzer is gonna be under lol ๐Ÿคฏ he's been carrying that team all playoffs but now it's game 7 and the whole league is watching... hope john schneider has a solid game plan in place ๐Ÿ“โ€โ™‚๏ธ, gotta give props to kevin gausman for throwing like crazy on fri tho ๐Ÿ˜… 5 p.m pt/8 p.m et, who can sleep tonight? ๐Ÿ˜ด
 
I'm so hyped about Game 7!!! ๐Ÿคฉ It's gonna be intense! I love how John Schneider is keeping all his pitchers on high alert, it's like a team effort to win that championship! ๐Ÿ† Max Scherzer is gonna bring the heat and with Kevin Gausman possibly getting in the mix too, the Blue Jays have got this! ๐Ÿ˜„ The Dodgers are looking fierce but I think the Blue Jays' energy will take them all the way. It's gonna be a thrilling game, I can already feel it! ๐Ÿ’ฅ Bring on Saturday night at 8 pm ET! ๐Ÿ“บ
 
๐Ÿค” think its weird theyre sayin all hands on deck but then not rulin out any pitchers... sounds like theyre tryin to psyche us out ๐Ÿ˜ or maybe its just a clever move by scherzer himself, makin everyone think hes the sole hero when really he's just part of the team ๐Ÿคซ

also gotta wonder why kevin gausman is still an option for game 7 after throwin 93 pitches in game 6... is this just another ploy to wear him down or what? ๐Ÿคฏ
 
Come on, you guys are really counting on Scherzer to be the sole ace for Game 7? Like, no pressure or anything? ๐Ÿ˜‚ Schneider knows what he's doing, of course, but still, it'd be awesome if they gave Gausman another shot after throwing 93 pitches in the last game. I mean, who needs a one-trick pony when you've got a whole roster, right? ๐Ÿค” Max Scherzer is an all-time great and all, but Kevin's been on fire too! And don't even get me started on the Dodgers' bench โ€“ Tyler Glasnow's supposed to play a big role in this game, so I'm hyped. The Blue Jays need this win for their fans and for the city of Toronto โ€“ it's time for them to celebrate that championship! ๐ŸŽ‰
 
idk man... i think scherzer is gonna be fine, but at the same time, gausman might just get a chance to shine? idk why schneider said that tho... maybe he's trying to psyche out the dodgers or something ๐Ÿค” but on the flip side, gausman did throw 93 pitches in game 6, thats kinda crazy ๐Ÿ˜ฒ. i think it's cool that everyone's gonna be available to pitch though, just means there are more options for schneider... but what if he ends up starting the whole team out? ๐Ÿคฏ that would be wild ๐Ÿ˜‚
 
This game 7 thing got me thinking about how it's all just a series of moments that lead up to this one moment of truth... ๐Ÿคฏ max scherzer is gonna be the man, but can he handle the weight of expectations? and what if he doesn't? would the team still find a way to win, or would it all come crashing down? and then there's kevin gausman, who's been pitching like crazy, maybe he's got something to say about game 7 too... ๐Ÿค” but what does it even mean to 'have all hands on deck' anyway? is it just about throwing caution to the wind, or is there more to it than that?
 
I'm so hyped for Game 7! It feels like this has been coming for weeks ๐Ÿคฉ. The Blue Jays need a miracle to win, but with Max Scherzer on the mound and all hands on deck, they've got a good shot. I'm rooting for them because it's about time Toronto gets back in the championship mix. But those Dodgers are not going down without a fight ๐Ÿ˜ฌ. Can't wait to watch it on Saturday night!
 
aww man, can u even imagine how nervous max scherzer must be feeling right now?? he's like the ultimate game 7 guy, but still, it's a huge pressure to perform ๐Ÿ’•... and i gotta say, kevin gausman was SO brave pitching 93 pitches in that game 6 ๐Ÿคฏ... if he's even considered for game 7, that means schneider trusts him completely, which is amazing ๐Ÿ™Œ... can the blue jays do it?! ๐ŸŽ‰
 
omg i'm hyped for game 7 ๐Ÿคฉ but idk how max scherzer is gonna hold up mentally its gonna be so intense he's been saying all the right things but we've seen pitchers crack under pressure before gotta keep an eye on that ๐Ÿค” also can't forget about kevin gausman, who's been throwing a lot lately might be a good surprise bench option for game 7 ๐Ÿ”„ meanwhile dodgers have their own drama going on with tylerglasnow and shohei ohtani being key players in the game ๐Ÿ’ช it's gonna be a wild ride
 
I'm getting so nervous about this game 7! My kid was at a game last year and now they're all hyped up again ๐Ÿคฉ๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ. I hope Max Scherzer can calm everyone down with his presence on the mound, he's like a superstar ๐Ÿ˜Œ. As a parent, it's hard not to imagine my little one in that situation, cheering or crying... either way, I'll be glued to the TV ๐Ÿ“บ๐Ÿ‘€. The Blue Jays need all hands on deck and I'm hoping for a magical ending after 32 years of waiting ๐Ÿ”ฎ๐Ÿ’ซ
 
the game 7 drama is on ๐Ÿ”ฅ and i think max scherzer being the starter makes total sense - he's a future hall of famer for a reason! ๐Ÿ™Œ but at the same time, kevin gausman's pitch count in game 6 was crazy high... i feel like he might need a breather in game 7, especially if it gets intense โฐ. what do you guys think? should scherzer be the sole ace or will we see some bullpen shuffling? ๐Ÿค”
 
lol @ john schneider being super casual about max sherzer pitching in game 7 lol like it's no big deal or something! ๐Ÿคฃ but seriously though, with kevin gausman still an option, you gotta wonder what kind of strategy the blue jays are gonna bring to the table. I mean, do they wanna go with a full-on bullpen or keep sherzer on for as long as possible? and can't wait for game 7, it's gonna be EPIC! ๐Ÿ’ฅ
 
Game 7 is gonna be EPIC! ๐Ÿคฏ I'm low-key nervous for Max Scherzer though - that guy's got a ton of pressure on his shoulders. But if anyone can handle it, it's him. Still weird to think about Kevin Gausman being an option, tho... like, he threw 93 pitches in the last game? ๐Ÿค” Either way, I'm hyped for this one! Can't wait to see how all these pitchers bring their A-game ๐Ÿ’ช
