The Toronto Blue Jays have enjoyed a strong start to the season, sweeping the Athletics in their first series and earning a win against the Colorado Rockies shortly after news surfaced that starter Cody Ponce would miss at least a significant portion of the season with a knee injury.<\/p>\n

And while some wins to open up the campaign are always valuable for a team with World Series aspirations, fans of the Blue Jays can\u2019t help but look ahead in the calendar to an upcoming series with the Los Angeles Dodgers.<\/p>\n

The last time the teams faced off was in Game 7 of the Fall Classic, which reached extra innings before the Blue Jays ultimately fell to the Dodgers as they won their second straight championship.<\/p>\n

Now the team is looking for better results when the Dodgers visit Toronto in the upcoming series. But at least one key member of the Dodgers\u2019 pitching staff doesn\u2019t expect to be fazed by any hostile reactions from the crowd.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s gonna be great,\u201d Justin Wrobleski said when asked about the team\u2019s upcoming series against the Blue Jays in Toronto during a segment with SportsNet LA<\/a>. \u201cThey\u2019re going to boo me and it\u2019s going to be really awesome. But that\u2019s what makes sports great, I think. If you pull for a team, and if I were a Toronto fan, I probably wouldn\u2019t like me either. So I completely understand. But yeah, it\u2019s cool, what\u2019s cool about sports is the passion that the fans have.\u201d<\/p>\n

The last time the Blue Jays saw Wrobleski, he enjoyed a surprisingly strong performance under some significant pressure. In four World Series games, he gave up just four hits and no runs, logging six strikeouts across five innings of relief.<\/p>\n

Blue Jays players might also remember Wrobleski for a controversial moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cBenches and bullpens cleared after Blue Jays shortstop Andr\u00e9s Gim\u00e9nez was hit in the right hand by a fastball from Dodgers left-hander Justin Wrobleski in the fourth inning (of Game 7),\u201d AJ Cassavell wrote for MLB.com<\/a>. \u201cWrobleski came inside on Gim\u00e9nez on the previous pitch as well, and Gim\u00e9nez appeared to motion his hand toward the ball as it rode up and in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wrobleski\u2019s debut this season hasn\u2019t been as strong as his World Series performance, as he gave up three earned runs in just four innings against the Cleveland Guardians on Monday. But he seems optimistic about facing the Blue Jays and returning to the place where he enjoyed some postseason success.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s super cool, I\u2019m super excited, it\u2019s a great place to play, they really like baseball over there,\u201d Wrobleski told SportsNet LA. \u201cAnytime you can perform when the team puts you in big spots like that, it\u2019s big\u2026 Them showing the trust in me was super helpful for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
