Davis Schneider family affair: Sister Madeline claps back at criticism against his leadoff role; Blue Jays star teases dad about 'dumb' Meta glasses

Davis Schneider wasted no time making his presence felt in Game 5 of the World Series with a solo moonshot. The Toronto second baseman jumped on the first pitch he saw from Blake Snell and sent it over the left field wall. It set the tone in the Blue Jays' 6-1 statement win over the Dodgers on Wednesday.

While the on-field fireworks was a big part of the celebrations, the internet buzzed for a different reason. One fan on X questioned John Schneider’s decision earlier in the day to bat Davis leadoff.

"Davis Schneider leadoff is a f***ing choice LMAO," the fan tweeted.

Davis' sister, Madeline Schneider, fired back with a single-line reply that broke the algorithm.

"The right one I guess?" Madeline tweeted.

Her playful clapback went viral, with fans and media outlets praising the perfect timing. It was the kind of family moment that perfectly matched Toronto's unexpected October energy, confident, grounded and quietly fearless.

Davis was asked after the game about another viral moment: his dad’s reaction to the leadoff homer. Steve, wearing a pair of Meta smart glasses, captured the scene from the stands, and the video made its rounds online. Davis couldn’t resist poking fun at him.

"Yeah, I mean, his Meta glasses are a little bit, they’re kind of dumb," Davis told reporters. "I don’t know why he wears those all the time. But it’s great having my family here. It’s their first time experiencing the World Series. We’re from a small town, so this means a lot."

It was a lighthearted, genuine moment, the kind that makes fans love the team more. Between the viral sister clapback, dad’s Meta glasses cameo and Davis’ first-pitch blast, the Schneiders have become one of the most relatable families this postseason.

Davis Schneider’s ever-changing batting stance keeps everyone guessing

Davis Schneider isn’t afraid to experiment at the plate. He has copied the setups of Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Bobby Witt Jr. and Will Smith during the World Series, searching for the right feel.

"I might switch it next game, so you never know," Schneider told reporters on Wednesday. "Sometimes my hands are in a different spot and I need to change it. I’ve been doing it my whole career, and I’m not going to stop now."

Before his leadoff homer off Blake Snell, Schneider revisited a stance from his 2023 Triple-A season when he hit 23 homers for Buffalo. The tweak worked, and moments later, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. followed with his eighth postseason blast. It continued his .415 tear with 15 RBIs in 16 games.
