World Series Game 7, November 1, 2025 - Dodgers @ Blue Jays, 8PM

[Mehar]

Do we think Schneider will do what Roberts did and change his lineup and move the struggling hitters down. Varsho and Lukes absolutely can't be in the top 5 with the way they've struggled.

Read on Twitter

No way Randle's hero and Man Crush Varsho should be hitting 5th tonight, based on his atrocious hitting numbers since Game 2 against the Yankees in the ALDS. I do no care about his supposed "bad luck" swinging at balls out of the strike zone. He sucks right now at the plate. If this team had any quality production from your Number 5 hitter- this team could have won the 18 inning Game in LA, and yesterday's game also (based on the number of men Varsho left on base).

Like I mentioned earlier my lineup is Springer at 1, Vlad at 2, Bichette at 3, Barger at 4, Kirk at 5, Lukes at 6, Clement at 7, Varsho at 8, and Gimenez at 9. Regardless, get both Varsho and Lukes out of the top 5 in the final game of this season for once.

Why would you bat Varsho 8 and willingly give the Dodgers a LHB window with him and Gimenez to exploit with Snell/other LHP.

I appreciate your misguided hate for one of our best players but it should probably be tempered by some kind of actual sense as well

Misguided hate? I hate that fact your hero has sucked at the plate since Game 2 of the ALDS against New York. However, given how much of a Varsho Fan Boy you are- you believe he is perfectly fine hitting 5th, and choking like a dog with men on base on a regular basis. Swinging like a fool at balls out of the Strike Zone, which you think is "bad luck". No bad luck. This is how he has always been. Any quality production from a typical Number 5 hitter, and the Jays win yesterday and possibly the 18 Inning game in LA.

Varsho will hit the occasional home run, which he can do hitting in the bottom of the order. You do not want him hitting 8th, fine put him at 7. But get both Lukes and Varsho put of the Top 5 for once. I just want to win, and Varsho hitting 5th with his awful hitting numbers on the tweet I posted, needs to be in the bottom of the order. Hopefully Schneider learns from Dave Roberts and makes that move.

All starters and high leverage arms are going to play
Despite that I feeling it’s going to be high scoring game

Varsho is batting 5th or 6th it just makes the most sense with the way the lineup is constructed lol Barger probably takes Lukes spot today and that might be the only change we make. We need to split up the lefties and Lukes has been worse than Varsho this series anyways lol.

Springer
Barger
Vlad
Bo
Varsho
Kirk or Clement
Lukes
Clement or Kirk
Gimenez

Or

Springer
Vlad
Bo
Barger
Kirk
Varsho
Clement
Lukes
Gimenez

Are my best guesses at lineups and either way its Varsho hitting 5th or 6th lol weve never stacked our lefties together all season and were not doing it kn game 7

123 wRC+ on the season and a 110 wRC+ in the playoffs

Cry if you must but he’s been one of the team’s best hitters all season and he’s not getting moved down to 8 lol

Yeah the great ones have done it and Yamamoto is absolutely one of those.

Again, that early pull yesterday rather than burning him for 120 pitches gives them the option to go to him again today.

Roberts says he's not available, but wouldn't be the first time he's lied.

Yeah if you listen to the presser he started off by saying everyone was available

It was only when someone specifically asked about Yamamoto that he said no, not him but there’s no reason to tell the media he’s available if you don’t have to

I think we should put all our lefties 7/8/9 just to make things easier for the Dodgers today lol

Those numbers are so bad man.

Varsho Fan Boy Randle thinks they are MVP numbers, and does not want his hero and man crush to be moved down from 5th in the order. It is simply "bad luck"according to him that his hero Varsho has sucked for three weeks at the plate since Game 2 of the ALDS.

GO JAYS GO! LETS GO JAYS! WE GOT THIS! #TEAM POSITIVEPOLLY! ALL ABOARD! CHOO CHOO! ! ! !

I feel good about tonight! Leafs will sacrifice & lose so Jays can win!

[Asianiac_24]

I might swap Bargers spot with Lukes, to break up the righty lefty bats.

[HangTime]

I would still consider having Bo bat 2nd.

Springer
Bo
Vlad
Barger
Kirk
Lukes
Ernie
Varsho
Giménez

Consider some bunting at the bottom of the order.

[Madvillainy2004]

Line up in Barger and Varsho swapped. No idea why Lukes is still in the 2 hole hopefully a Springer IBB late in the game doesnt cost us.

[LoveMyRaps]

Lukes is killing the flow of the offense rn.

Call me crazy but I’d move Barger up to #2

Springer

Yeah that was my lineup pick today. Lukes 2 spot is silly despite his ability to work walks and get on base. Just man I hope he comes through today were gonna need 5+ runs to win

We can't be batting lefties back to back, and putting 3 of them in a span of 4 hitters. Why make Roberts job easier when he will be likely trying hard to slot in one of his lefty relievers somewhere for an inning tonight.

Switch Barger, Lukes and Varsho around all you want, but one of them has to bat 2/3, one 5th, and one 7th. I would be good putting Barger in the 2/3 hole.

I am perfectly fine with this lineup. I know Randle might be upset that his hero is now hitting 7th, but well done Schneider.

Later in the game, you can pinch hit Davis Schneider for Lukes if need be in case a Lefty like Snell comes in. I am surprised and happy this front office and manager made the right move for once.

Oh well. He’s been solid all season and has had plenty of clutch hits. Hope he comes through tonight.

[Winterfrost]

Love to see Barger moved up in the order

[NinjaBro]

If it was up to me this is the world series winning lineup order

Clement
Springer
Vladdy
Bo
Barger
Kirk
Lukes
Gimenez
Varsho
