3 Cubs and an Indian owned the 2016 World Series
David Richard, USA TODAY Sports, Jason Miller – Getty Images
Wows indeed.
My tally for Who owns the World Series had one hitter and 3 pitchers with the lead. And how strange is it that the ACTUAL World Series MVP, Ben Zobrist, was not one of them?
Ah the strangeness of a daily tally!
Kris Bryant’s late surge put him past Jason Kipnis, MVP Zobrist and Rajai Davis. Arrieta’s two starts were not dominant but took the evening. Kluber shut down the Cubs for a pair of games while Lester redeemed his bad Game 1 start with a win as a starter and a solid relief appearance.
Let’s look at the final totals.

Who Owns October and Who Owns the 2016 World Series (#WOO and #WOWS) Tallies Updated For November 1, 2016
Brian Cassella / Chicago Tribune
It all comes down to one game. Does it get better than that?
So who owned October and the World Series?
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.
But the World Series deserves its own stats. WOWS (Who Owns the World Series.)
At the end of the post season, we will see who had the highest WOO total as a pitcher and a hitter. The WOWS total will be kept separately. Each game now counts towards both tallies.
A complete description of the rules can be found HERE.

Gregory Polanco Had A Great 2016 Season, but 2017 Could Be Even Better
Gregory Polanco made huge strides in 2016, but this Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder could be in store for an even bigger 2017 season. At only 25 years old, Polanco made significant improvements to his swing and approach at the plate in 2016. He finished the season with a .258/.323/.463 slash line, 34 doubles, four triples, 22 home runs, 86 RBIs, 79 runs, and 17 stolen bases. Out of all Major League hitters this year, only 14 had more than 20 home runs and 15 stolen bases. Out of those 15, only five are 25 years old or younger (Gregory Polanco, Bryce Harper, Mookie Betts, Mike Trout, Wil Myers). As you can see, Polanco is in a very elite group of young talent, but after looking more into his numbers, his game could explode in the upcoming seasons.

@sullybaseball As you’ve often said, MLB blackouts bad, but never worse than last night: #Giants #Cubs on MLB Network, blackout on MLB app.

I had issues with my washing machine and MLB Blackouts. At least the Red Sox were rained out.

Only one game played today and holy cow was there a series of unlikely heroes tonight.
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 8th.
NL Division Series Game 2:
Receiving 1 WOO’s
Dexter Fowler doubled, scored and provided some sparkling defense to help the Cubs top the Giants, 5-2.
Travis Wood earned the 5-2 Cubs victory by recording 5 outs, striking out 2 Giants and hitting the first post season homer by a relief pitcher since 1924.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – October 6, 2016
I decided to watch Game 1 of the Division Series between the Red Sox and Indians at The Dutch Goose in Menlo Park, California.
There I saw the reverse of the Tyranny of the Save, hated pinch running and met a guy from Massachusetts named Bill.

Have you noticed that Marco Estrada is putting together a terrific October resume? I thought Cole Hamels was going to be a playoff hero. Nope. Turns out a new hero is emerging. And suddenly my pick to win the World Series could be on their heels.
Meanwhile Jason Kipnis wants to be beloved in Cleveland and Terry Francona showed how a bullpen is handed.

The post season has begun with two classic games and a manager blunder for the ages.
Buck Showalter lives by the motto “If you have to go down, go down with your 7th best pitcher!”
Meanwhile I entered a fold in time and space for the Connor Gillaspie homer.

Fellow Red Sox fan and comedian/writer/YouTube star Nick Stevens rejoined the podcast to play a fun nostalgic game.
I mentioned each year the Red Sox made the post season that we remember watching and we each said our first memories of that team.
Some memories were silly. Some were poignant. All were honest and from the heart… or from the HAHHHHT in New England.
It is a memory lane episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
