During game 1 of the World Series, Donaldson was on the Baseball is Dead live stream to talk about the game and give his feedback throughout the game.
In the 6th inning,
Varsho was hit in the shoulder by a pitch from Blake Snell to which Donaldson stated that he wanted Varsho to charge the mound after being hit.

While no of the Blue Jays look to have been targeted so far in the playoffs when hit by a pitch, it certainly has been quite a bit over the last few weeks as it seems like they get hit every few games.
Springer is a perfect example as he got a bad pitch to the knee against the Seattle Mariners which almost took him out of the playoffs then last night took another one to the hand.

Donaldson was obviously kidding when he said this but when thinking about it, having one of their players get upset at one of these pitches might get the Dodgers pitchers to back off a little bit.
Snell is a perfect example as he was continuously going high and inside on the Blue Jays in game 1 but did not see any push back from the players or umpires.
