The leaves turn, the weather gets colder and Madison Bumgarner is unhittable. It must be October for an even year.

Not too hard to see who owned October tonight!

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 5th. NL Wild Card Game:

Receiving 1 WOO’s 

Madison Bumgarner was his typical dominant self, throwing a complete game 4 hit shutout striking out 6 Mets and pushing the Giants to the Division Series in a 3-0 thriller.

Conor Gillaspie got 2 hits including a dramatic 3 run homer in the 9th that was the difference in the Giants 3-0 Wild Card win over the Mets.

 

Receiving 1/2 WOO’s 

Noah Syndergaard kept the Giants hitless into the 6th, finishing with 7 shutout innings with 2 hits and 10 strikeouts. He would not get the decision as the Mets were blanked 3-0.

Curtis Granderson did not get a hit but made a dramatic catch to end a Giants rally in the 6th inning. In the end the Mets season ended with a 3-0 Wild Card game loss.

The Pirates won 98 games. Their reward? Jake Arrieta and a one and done Wild Card loss.

If they wanted to avoid that, they could have won 3 more games over the course of the season.

Essentially they lost this game in early April.

Let’s bring on the Division Series on this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

The post season has begun! And with the Yankees out of it, there really is no team I truly dislike in the playoffs.

The Astros could be very dangerous if they win one of two in Kansas City.

I make my predictions and I talk about why I am rooting for the Pirates over the Cubs.

All that and more on this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
