Ex-Blue Jays coach Don Mattingly says there's one World Series play he wants back Mattingly, who stepped down from his role as bench coach with the Blue Jays following the end of the season, was a recent guest on MLB reporter Jon Heyman's podcast. Mattingly was asked if there was anything that stood out that the Blue Jays as a team could have done differently and Mattingly picked out that particular play.

Gausman pitched well for the majority of his outing against the Dodgers. His first inning was about establishing his fastball, which he did. Freddie Freeman stroked a double in the first inning and later scored on a Will Smith single, putting the Dodgers up early. After the first inning, Gausman sailed through the Dodgers' lineup, utilizing his four-seam fastball with solid command. The fastball cuts into right-handed hitters, jamming most bats and missing barrels.

"Obviously, it's the World Series for a hometown team, and it's awesome, but I guess this whole postseason and like any start this season, I think if you go and you just handle what you can and simplify it in your workday and simplify it while you're out there on the mound, I think a lot of the other stuff is just kind of noise.

The Blue Jays are turning to their only starting pitcher with the World Series experience entering this postseason in 41-year-old Max Scherzer. While the biggest question surrounding the game is, " Will the Blue Jays win tonight?", the second biggest question is arguably, " What does Max Scherzer yell at John Schneider when he goes to take the ball from him tonight? " Tonight will mark Scherzer's second start this postseason.

And for a guy like me from Puerto Rico, kind of swam against the current my entire life, to be sitting in this position is pretty special. But at the same time, I haven't really wanted to reflect too much on it because there's going to be a time for that once I'm done playing, and I'm going to have a lot of years to reflect on it.
