Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays fans have had Monday\u2019s date circled since November.<\/p>\n
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week, we\u2019ll get a rematch of the 2025 World Series when the Boys in Blue travel to the Canada.<\/p>\n
Monday will be the first time the teams face off since Miguel Rojas\u2019 game-tying home run in the ninth inning of Game 7 and Will Smith\u2019s game-winning homer in the 11th.<\/p>\n
Dodgers Stars Expect Hostile Reception in Toronto<\/h2>\n
Speaking with Sonja Chen and Keegan Matheson of MLB.com<\/a>, players for both squads are expecting more than a typical regular-season atmosphere.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not like playing in front of our fans, it\u2019s playing in front of the whole city that was hopeful to win a World Series,\u201d Rojas said. \u201cI\u2019m expecting, for the first time in my life, to get booed when I play there.\u201d<\/p>\n Dodgers\u2019 starting pitcher Justin Wrobleski is also expecting a less-than-warm welcome<\/a> after a heated confrontation with Andr\u00e9s Gim\u00e9nez during Game 7.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s gonna be great,\u201d Wrobleski\u00a0told SportsNet LA\u2019s Kirsten Watson<\/a>. \u201cThey\u2019re gonna boo me\u00a0and\u00a0it\u2019s gonna be really awesome. That\u2019s what makes sports great, I think. If you pull for a team and I were a Toronto fan, I probably wouldn\u2019t like me either, so I completely understand. It\u2019s what\u2019s cool about sports, the passion that the fans have. I think it\u2019s what makes sports great, the passion the fans have for the teams. That\u2019s what makes you want to go out every day and perform. I\u2019m super excited. It\u2019s a great place to play. They really love baseball over there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n Some Jays have tried to downplay the importance of this series.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s just another series that we really have to win, honestly,\u201d said Ernie Clement.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s all it is. Last year is last year and it doesn\u2019t have any merit on this year,\u201d added George Springer.<\/p>\n Manager John Schneider also rejected World Series comparisons.<\/p>\n \u201cI was joking with the guys that it\u2019s not a three-game rematch of the World Series, it\u2019s just three games you\u2019ve got to cover and try to win,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Do you think the Blue Jays\u2019 stoic strategy will help them, or will the Dodgers prevail in a hostile environment, perhaps in their new blue jerseys<\/a>?<\/p>\nWhat Are the Blue Jays Expecting?<\/h2>\n
