Not too worried about Springer being out, 3/11 in the series isn't terrible but visually since game 7 he's not really looked sharp in the box for me and I like Bo's bat better, he's reached base in 6/13 ABs which is crazy considering how long he was off - also Bo has looked even weaker in the field than usual with his bum knee and he was probably already the weakest link defensively.

But I also don't love Schneider being put in. .234 in the regular season and .180 in the playoffs.

And I get the lefty righty thing but interestingly, while Lukes average was lower against lefties in the regular season, his OBP was actually 20 points higher than Schneider's against lefties! He works the count so well.

Maybe Davis is due for a big game though and he is also good at working the count and drawing a walk too just hasn't done it as well as Lukes yet. Loperfido hits better than either of them for my money though obviously not an option. And it's too bad Tony Taters has been such a useless waste of money and isn't available, though he'd probably just strike out 4x haha

Lukes will go in at some point later in game.
MLB SXM radio guys were sure Schneider would play tonight, because lefty, but weren't sure he would lead off.
Hopefully he works the count, gets on somehow.

Make Snell pitch strikes to you. We did well to get him out as soon as we did in game 1. I don't expect another grand slam to put the game out of reach, but let's make it hard for him to get his game going.

I like Schneider being in - I predict a big hit from him.

And I think it's smart to keep Springer out, since it's 2-2. If they're down 3-1, you get some duct tape on him, and get him out there. But since we're tied, and going back to T.O. regardless, let him have 2 more days off so he can contribute in game 6.

Same applies to Bo as DH.

Most guys on the team have provided a huge contribution or at least one signature moment on the way to bring us to this point. Even IKF.

Do any of these singers actually know the Canadian anthem?

This is how an anthem is supposed to be sung. (US one)

Why can't people do the anthems properly? We just need to get rid of it.

I question how "Canadian" these singers actually are.

Deborah Cox is from Toronto. She sang the anthem accurately but like many singers tried to turn it into a song.

The other two I've never heard of.
