Shot in Toronto in the mid-80s, Youngblood was a hockey movie about life in the sport\u2019s junior ranks, one of many movies Lowe starred in on his way to being a TV regular in shows such as The West Wing and Parks and Recreation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Another actor with links to Canadian sport was also present at Dodger Stadium, with Jeff Goldblum taking in the occasion.

They\u2019re squeezing 50,000-plus, lightly buzzed fans (for now) through corridors that weren\u2019t built to accommodate that kind of traffic. Getting to the place is equally chaotic.

The No. 3 starter in L.A.\u2019s rotation has allowed one run over two starts (three appearances).<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">\u201cHe\u2019s got an elite fastball,\u201d said Blue Jays infielder Andr\u00e9s Gim\u00e9nez.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Glasnow will need little introduction to Blue Jays fans, having made 11 starts against Toronto since his MLB debut in 2016.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Most irritatingly of all though, will be the memory of the right-hander helping to end the Jays\u2019 season in 2020 in the playoffs\u2019 wild-card round. Glasnow struck out eight over six innings to propel the Tampa Bay Rays to a 2-0 series sweep.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">That post-season outing aside though, the 32-year-old hasn\u2019t been all that convincing against the American League champions, having posted a 1-4 record with a 5.82 earned-run average in the regular season. And he got a no decision in his one start against the Jays this year, when Ernie Clement\u2019s home run capped a come-from-behind victory at Dodger Stadium in August.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">He\u2019s picked up his game this post-season, with a 0.68 earned-run average over two starts and three appearances, though he\u2019s yet to register a victory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Leadoff hitter George Springer has dominated Glasnow at the plate over the years, owning a .462 average across 13 at-bats against him, with one home run and a pair of RBIs, while Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has gone a respectable 6-of-17 against him, going deep once with 3 RBI.<\/p>\n<p>10\/27\/25 18:00Starting lineups for Blue Jays and Dodgers<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">&#8211; Jamie Ross<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Here are the starting lineups for tonight\u2019s game:<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Toronto Blue Jays<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/player\/george-springer-543807\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" title=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/player\/george-springer-543807\">George Springer<\/a>\u00a0(R) DH<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/player\/nathan-lukes-664770\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" title=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/player\/nathan-lukes-664770\">Nathan Lukes<\/a>\u00a0(L) LF<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/player\/vladimir-guerrero-jr-665489\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" title=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/player\/vladimir-guerrero-jr-665489\">Vladimir Guerrero Jr.<\/a>\u00a0(R) 1B<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/player\/bo-bichette-666182\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" title=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/player\/bo-bichette-666182\">Bo Bichette<\/a>\u00a0(R) 2B<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/player\/daulton-varsho-662139\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" title=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/player\/daulton-varsho-662139\">Daulton Varsho<\/a>\u00a0(L) CF<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/player\/alejandro-kirk-672386\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" title=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/player\/alejandro-kirk-672386\">Alejandro Kirk<\/a>\u00a0(R) C<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/player\/addison-barger-680718\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" title=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/player\/addison-barger-680718\">Addison Barger<\/a>\u00a0(L) RF<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/player\/ernie-clement-676391\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" title=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/player\/ernie-clement-676391\">Ernie Clement<\/a>\u00a0(R) 3B<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/player\/andres-gimenez-665926\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" title=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/player\/andres-gimenez-665926\">Andr\u00e9s Gim\u00e9nez<\/a>\u00a0(L) SS<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">L.A.

But we made it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">The word \u201cintent\u201d set people off. Does Dave Roberts really think Canada controls Pearson Airport? And what does Roberts mean by \u201cinternational stuff?\u201d Does he mean having a passport? Does carrying I.D. and being asked to present it qualify as \u201ca bear\u201d in Dave Roberts\u2019s life?

A couple of little moments involving a starting pitcher left to hang around too long decided both games. Each team has shown ruthlessness when required.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">So what\u2019s going to be the difference? Ohtani, still.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Since everything must constantly be unprecedented, though nothing short of an alien invasion is, a lot of people want to crown Ohtani the greatest player of all time. He isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">He\u2019s the greatest talent ever, but best \u2018player\u2019 suggests that you have mastered the game. Joe DiMaggio won nine World Series. Sandy Koufax was the MVP of the World Series twice. Those are the benchmarks for all-time\u2019itude.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Ohtani\u2019s got a ways to go.

This time it\u2019ll be against his former team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Scherzer, a two-time World Series champion and a three-time Cy Young Award winner, is famous for his intense preparation and comportment, earning the nickname Mad Max. That persona was on display during his crucial start in the ALCS in Game 4 against the Mariners, his first game of the postseason after being left off the Jays\u2019 ALDS roster.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">He pitched 5 2\/3 innings that night, allowing three hits and two earned runs on the way to an 8-2 Jays victory. That performance helped Toronto bring the series back to an even 2-2 split, and they went on to win it in seven games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">It also included a made-for-TV moment when Blue Jays manager John Schneider came out for a mound visit in the fifth.
