Who Owns October in MLB Playoffs 2016 (#WOO) Tallies Updated for October 19, 2016

Thomas Ondrey/The Cleveland Plain Dealer
One series is over while the other is all knotted up after four games.
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 19th.
ALCS Game 5 and NLCS Game 4:
Receiving 1 WOO’s
Francisco Lindor collected 3 hits and scored the first run in the 3-0 Cleveland victory that clinched the pennant in Toronto.
Ryan Merritt threw only his second ever major league start and made it count. He pitched shutout ball into the 5th inning and allowed the Indians to tap into their bullpen, who finished up the games, series and pennant, 3-0 over the Blue Jays.
Mike Montgomery threw a pair of shutout innings out of the bullpen and stopped the Dodgers from getting back into the game as the Cubs poured it on, 10-2.
Addison Russell woke up from a nasty slump to go 3 for 5, including a 2 run homer, to lead the Cubs past the Dodgers, 10-2.
Receiving 1/2 WOO’s
Jose Bautista singled and hit a double in the 9th inning but was stranded as Toronto was eliminated in the ALCS by Cleveland, 3-0.
Justin Turner reached base twice and drove in the Dodgers only 2 runs as they were blown out in Game 4 by the Cubs, 10-2.

The Giants season is over and it was a crushing surreal game. Meanwhile super fan Cubs Fan with an 8 (@CU8SFAN ) asked an interesting question.

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.

Alfonso Soriano is calling it a career. And it was indeed a fine career.
But if Nomar Garciaparra had accepted a contract extension from Boston, Soriano would have been a revered Yankee legend.
Trust me. It makes sense in this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

@sullybaseball if you were tapped to produce a “true story” baseball movie, what story would you like to see told?
— Nathaniel Wakeman (@wakemanna) September 5, 2014
What movie would I want to see?
Maybe a colorful and complicated brawling manager… or a woman who ran a powerful Negro League team… or a pitcher who could have been brilliant and insane… or the least likely World Series clincher of all time.
I put on my movie producer hat on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast. is a direct response to a Twitter follower.
I gave Who Owned Baseball to Julio Teheran over Adam Wainwright. Not everyone agreed.
@sullybaseball How do you not pick Waino for #WOB? 9IP, 1H, 0BB, 9K, 115pitches/86 strikes. Tehran: 9IP, 6H, 2BB, 8K, 128 pitches/83 strikes
— Steven Paul Hines (@HinesIs2nd) May 21, 2014
It was a tough call. But the main difference was the fact that Teheran pitched against a first place Milwaukee team and Wainwright pitched against a horrible Diamondbacks squad.

The Milwaukee Brewers have the best record in baseball. And with Carlos Gomez, Matt Garza, Ryan Braun and Francisco Rodriguez doing well, they have some of the hardest players to root for in the game.
