For the first time since 2009, a team other than the Giants or Cardinals will represent the National League in the World Series. And the Cubs have people in Chicago dreaming of their first World Series appearance since 1945. Meanwhile Clayton Kershaw forgot it was the post season.

Time to figure out who owns October!

Each winning team for every post season game gets a pitcher and a hitter who earn a full WOO (Who Owns October.)

And at my discretion, I award a 1/2 WOO’S to a worthy player on the losing team.

At the end of the post season, we will see who had the highest WOO total as a pitcher and a hitter.

A complete description of the rules can be found HERE.

From October 13th. NL Division Series, Game 4:

Receiving 1 WOO’s

Clayton Kershaw changed the narrative with a dominating 7 inning, 3 hit, 1 walk, 1 run, 8 strikeout performance and earned the season saving 3-1 decision for the Dodgers over the Mets.

Hector Rondon became just the fourth Cubs pitcher in history to clinch a post season series as he threw the final scoreless inning and recording the Division Series ending save over St. Louis, 6-4.

Kyle Schwarber got 2 hits including a towering homer to help the Cubs clinched the Division Series, 6-4 over St. Louis.

Justin Turner smacked a 2 run double that was the difference in the Dodgers 3-1 series tying victory over the Mets.

Receiving 1/2 WOO’s

Bartolo Colon pitched a pair of shutout innings in relief to keep the Dodgers from padding the lead. The Mets bats went silent and they lost 3-1.

Daniel Murphy hit a home run that accounted for all of the Mets scoring in their 3-1 loss to the Dodgers.

Stephen Piscotty reached base twice including a 2 run homer. But in the end it was not enough as the Cardinals fell to the Cubs 6-4.
