Who Owns October and Who Owns the 2016 World Series (#WOO and #WOWS) Tallies Updated For October 24, 2018
Maddie Meyer/Getty Images
Now David Price can’t STOP winning post season starts.
He gave the Red Sox good old fashioned quality start while Mookie Betts and company shrugged off a 2-1 hole in the game to put the Dodgers down 2 games to none.
Was this the last game played at Fenway this year? It could be.
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.
From October 23
2018 World Series Game 1:
Receiving 1 WOO and 1 WOWS
Mookie Betts went 3 for 4 with a double and a run scored to lead Boston’s offensive attack to a 4-2 win over the Dodgers.
David Price gave the Red Sox 6 strong innings, allowing 3 hits and 2 runs while striking out 5 Dodgers and earning the 4-2 decision.
Receiving 1/2 WOO and 1/2 WOWS
Yasiel Puig singled home a run that briefly gave the Dodgers the lead. The Red Sox would come back to take the 4-2 final.

Who Owns October and Who Owns the 2016 World Series (#WOO and #WOWS) Tallies Updated For October 23, 2018
Bob DeChiara, USA TODAY Sports
Wasn’t that supposed to be a pitcher’s duel? Neither Sale nor Kershaw went 5 innings, despite a great first inning by Boston’s ace.
Instead, we had a back and forth offensive battle where Andrew Benintendi piled up the hits and Eduardo Núñez put the game away with one swing of the bat.
And remember when the Red Sox bullpen was a weakness? Not anymore. Los Angeles is now in a hole and need to figure out how to stop the Boston attack tomorrow.

Who Owns the World Series (WOWS) is Back for the 2018 Fall Classic

It is not enough just to own October… One must own the WORLD SERIES!
In the regular season, I had “Who Owns Baseball?” aka WOB. The explanation is here.
Then the post season came about and thus was born “Who Owns October?” aka WOO. A full explanation is here.
The player and pitcher who each winning team gets a WOO. If someone on the losing team has an admirable performance (I’m looking at YOU, Justin Verlander), then they would receive 1/2 a WOO.
But the World Series is different. People complain that postseason stats and World Series stats are combined, resulting in Bernie Williams and David Ortiz‘s stats dwarf Mickey Mantle‘s and Babe Ruth‘s because of the additional rounds.
So back in 2013 in my Twitter feed came this suggestion from one of my most loyal readers and listeners.
@sullybaseball will woo he supplanted by wows next week?
— brain wash (@BrainWash1) October 19, 2013
You got it. “Who Owns the World Series?” or WOWS.
I am going to continue to keep track of WOO to see who has the best tally for the entire Postseason.
But it is also time to keep a separate list for the World Series. Will the leader of WOO also lead WOWS?
There is only one way to find out… keep track like a maniac!

Who Owns October (#WOO) Tallies Updated For October 20, 2018
(Robert Gauthier / Los Angeles Times)
Yasiel Puig has a tendency to talk a big game. But guess what? He backs it up. And with one swing of the bat he turned a potential Game 7 thriller into a foregone conclusion.
Meanwhile a parade of Dodger relievers kept the Brewers off of the scoreboard after Yelich’s first inning homer.
Dodgers are off to play the Red Sox. The Brewers came oh so close.
So who owned October?

NLCS Game 7:
Receiving 1 WOO
Ryan Madson threw 1 2/3 clutch innings of shutout relief, allowing just 1 hit, striking out a pair of Brewers and earned the pennant clinching 5-1 decision for the Dodgers.
Yasiel Puig got 3 hits, including the back breaking 3 run shot, that put the game out of reach as the Dodgers clinched the pennant in Milwaukee, 5-1.
Receiving 1/2 WOO
Josh Hader kept the Dodgers off the board with 3 dominating shutout innings, striking out 4. It was too little too late as the Brewers lost, 5-1.
Christian Yelich homered in the first inning to send Milwaukee into a frenzy. It would short lived as the Dodgers rallied to clinch the pennant, 5-1.

As the Red Sox kick their feet up, relaxing from their pennant clinching yesterday, the NLCS is down to a Game 7. I guess it is appropriate after the regular season ended with a pair of Game 163 match ups that the National League title is undecided until the last possible moment.
The Dodgers homered in the opening batter, making Milwaukee wonder if they were done. 4 runs in the first changed all of that.
So thanks to Jesús Aguilar and company, the National League will be decided on Saturday. And Corbin Burnes made sure Josh Hader is rested and ready for Game 7.
So 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.)

Corbin Burnes finished the 7-2 game with 2 perfect innings, striking out a pair of Dodgers and preserving the Milwaukee bullpen for Game 7.
