Nuccio DiNuzzo – Chicago Tribune

The Indians could not clinch but are still in control. Meanwhile the Cubs suddenly find their dream season on the brink.

Time to see who owned 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 18th.
ALCS Game 4 and NLCS Game 3:

Receiving 1 WOO’s 

Josh Donaldson homered to put Toronto on top and played great defense to help the Blue Jays stay alive over the Indians, 5-1.

Yasmani Grandal hit a 2 run homer and drove in another to lead the Dodgers past the Cubs, 6-0.

Rich Hill shutout the Cubs over 6 strong innings, allowing 2 hits and striking out 6 as the Dodgers took control of the series, 6-0.

Aaron Sanchez kept the Blue Jays from getting swept by Cleveland by throwing 6 innings, allowing 2 hits and 1 run, earning the 5-1 decision.

Receiving 1/2 WOO’s 

Kris Bryant went 2 for 4 but could not be driven in by his teammates as the Cubs fell to LA, 6-0.

Roberto Perez doubled home the Indians only run in their 5-1 loss in Toronto.
