October 27, 20169 yr Christopher Kamka @ckamka 59m59 minutes ago Since the last #WorldSeries game at Wrigley Field in 1945, there have been 405 World Series games at 45 different ballparks.
October 27, 20169 yr Well, that's a lot more defensible than the Nats and Strasburg at least. Probably puts Jeyward, as Maddon calls him, back into the line-up unless he's just there as pr and defensive replacement.

"Just too much risk," Theo Epstein said. Thats too bad. Watching him attempting to catch the ball when he is healthy is comedy. Just imagine the in the park homers that he is saving by not playing the field.
October 28, 20169 yr Interesting. The white Sox out rated the Cubs in WS game 2 http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...1027-story.html

Yes, but this is just local and it is the Cubs. You know all those Cubs fans who never even think about the White Sox. Edited October 28, 20169 yr by Dick Allen

October 28, 20169 yr My dad was a little kid in 1945, and his cousin had just returned from the war and was visiting. His cousin took him to the WS at Wrigley. The bought tickets at the box office the day of the game. My dad has the trifecta, attended WS games at Wrigley, Comiskey, and USCF. I wonder how many people can say that right now.

The Cubs are in the World Series and they are wasting time on things like Joe Buck and what Sox fans aren't rooting for the Cubs.

October 28, 20169 yr Author QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 27, 2016 -> 02:40 PM) Gusts up to 40 mph blowing out tomorrow. They should just start Otero tomorrow with his sinker. Winds still forecast in the 25-35 mph range blowing out. Over/under holding steady at 8. What am I missing here? In the regular season, it would be at least 10 no matter who is on the mound.

October 28, 20169 yr I was thinking this morning that this whole WS thing might be a good thing. Expose the fan base for the tards that they are.

Those are good points, probably why I don't really gamble anymore. A classic 12-10 Wrigley game in the World Series would be pretty funny though.
October 28, 20169 yr Don't think I've ever seen a o/u of 10 in baseball but I do think over is play tonight. That said don't think wind affects Hendricks too much.

Apparently Tomlin has been throwing more curveballs recently too (over 40% against the Jays) and the Cubs aren't very good against them. With that said, I'm still seriously considering taking Cubs - 2.5 +180

That said don't think wind affects Hendricks too much. Every game at Coors Field is in the 10.5-11.5 range, and the occasional Wrigley wind blowing out game. But yeah, those are the only outliers.
