“George Springer brought sign stealing to the Jays”

The World Series opener between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays on Friday lived up to expectations at the Rogers Centre.

The Dodgers took a 2-0 lead after scoring a run in the second and third innings. However, the Blue Jays came back strong as outfielder Daulton Varsho crushed the two-time Cy Young winner. Blake Snell for a towering two-run home run in the bottom of the fourth inning to make the score 2-2.

Fans accused the Blue Jays outfielder of stealing signs after his game-tying hit.

“Springer brought sign stealing to the jays, I’m sick.”

“Spreading the truth 10/10.”

“Has to compete with the sign-stealing Dodgers.”

“It’s clear that this is sign stealing.”

“All the comments about stealing signs are killing me, it's not 2017, you American idiots are looking for another excuse 🤣🫵”

The Dodgers wasted a scoring opportunity in the fifth inning after Bets on Mookie had chosen a single to start the inning. It came back to haunt the Dodgers when Blake Snell hit Varsho to load the bases with no outs for the Blue Jays.

Snell was removed from the game after pitching five innings, giving up eight hits with five earned runs and four strikeouts. It was the first time the All-Star ace failed to pitch more than six innings in the postseason.

With the bases loaded after Blake Snell's pitch to Daulton Varsho, the Dodgers sent Emmet Sheehan to the mound. Ernie Clement hit an RBI single to give the Blue Jays a 3-2 lead.

Nathan Lukes walked Sheehan to make it 4-2 before Andres Giminez gave the Blue Jays a three-run advantage with his RBI single. Sheehan was replaced by reliever Anthony Banda with the bases loaded for Toronto.

Addison Barger, pinch hitter for the Blue Jays, took Banda deep for a bases-clearing home run. Barger's grand slam was followed by a two-run home run from Alexander Kirk as the Blue Jays scored nine runs in the inning to take an 11-2 lead.
