Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider spoke to the media Saturday afternoon dropping hints of who will start in game 2 and 3 of the ALCS.

Schneider announced earlier today that Kevin Gausman will get the start in game 1 of the ALCS.

Gausman shares his thoughts on preparing for the Seattle Mariners

«I said this before: anytime you're handed the ball for what is the most important game up to this point, you're always going to be fired up and ready for that. And so, I'm excited to see what tomorrow night is going to be like here, and I'm ready to go.»
«I'm a little bit different than most guys. I'm not Chris Bassitt. I don't have seven pitches, so I don't have to do as much deep diving. (I'll) definitely take a look at their tendencies and what they've changed if I think they've changed their approach at all,» Gausman said.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider talked about ALCS game 2, 3 starters and the Savage move he pulled on the Yankees

Not confirmed, but John Schneider says it's a «definite possibility» that Trey Yesavage would start G2 ALCS followed by Shane Bieber G3.

Schneider also notes that "Trey wasn't pitching in Game 4" against the Yankees. He was a decoy.
John Schneider says that Trey Yesavage and Shane Bieber likely line up for Games 2 and 3, but nothing is official.

«For the record, Trey wasn't pitching in Game 4 I don't know if I said that.» #BlueJays
