Cubs bats woke up again last night, this could be a good one. For my money, I'd like to see the Cubs knock Kluber out and take this thing. It's been a lot longer since they've won PLUS, an early rout would SHUT JOE BUCK UP!! Last nights game was bearable because once the Cubs got the early lead I didn't have to hear about the immortal Indians pitchers "spinning it" to get outs nearly as much. I do have to say that whoever attempted to find an annoying replacement for Tim McCarver did a great job when they came up with Buck and Smoltz. Smoltz saying how the extra days take a toll on Chapman, and hinted at losing velocity. He lost a little last night throwing 99 and 100 more often than not, I think he was just trying to keep it in the strike zone. Either way, he's throwing harder than Smoltz ever did. One thing about it, I think it's the best manager matchup in the World Series perhaps ever!
