Optimism for George Springer

He's feeling better than yesterday and could well play tomorrow.

George Springer is “feeling a lot better than he did yesterday,” says Blue Jays manager John Schneider.

Springer had a CT scan Friday night that returned negative. He's receiving treatment at Rogers Centre today and Schneider's optimistic he'll be able to play in Game 6.

Tomorrow, many pitchers will be available, including Max Scherzer.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider says “everyone will be available that is physically available” to pitch in Game 6.

“You'll see some guys that you normally don't see available in the bullpen.”

Ernie Clement: where you want to be

The Blue Jays aren't afraid of adversity.

Ernie Clement:

“It's right where we want to be. That was our goal coming here, to get back to Toronto. Obviously, we wanted this game to go a little different, but I think we're in a great spot. I'd say we're in a great spot. We've got a chance. That's all we need.” #BlueJays

John Schneider is also confident.

John Schneider:

“We're going to fucking get after it in Sunday.”

“We've won two games in a row a whole lot this year. That's what we expect to do starting Sunday.” #BlueJays
