In the last night they should o the cubs most of the cubs are really good in the indians are still preparing including trevo bauer, who is recovering from a injury, but he says no worries, is good to go as p. J. Ziegler continues team coverage. This is the moment of truth if his finger is healed after that drone accident. Is a tough act to follow after corey kluber, trevor bauer pitching for the First Time Since removal and the alcs with toronto with his bloody taking. Did have some stitches last week and perhaps we will see Danny Salazar for the first time this postseason. Trevor bauer says he knows that im not concerned about anything. They are very talented. On about the red sox were also talented. Goes out to executing game plan that is nothing i can do to change the outcome i have done everything i can to now execute to the best of my ability and what it will be. We dont know what we will get. He just a few in toronto, site we dont know which trevor baue will get. If you cannot go, what will the game plan b . I think i would use Danny Salazar. To abc Andrew Miller again just maybe also bring in someone out of the bullpen. Now the starting lineup. The word is jake arrieta has not pitched well in bad weather had to keep an eye on that. Rain or shine, fans still have the world series spirit an tonight as they head into Progressive Field. D. Melissa reid joins us from Gateway Plaza stuff th called but do not care, here at Gateway Plazaca as they head in the game, less than one hour from game time. You can see everybody is so excited.

What do you , after we got the big win last night how much pressure is on the cubs into th how the momentum . Its a big night. You want to get the first two games, it will be a big game for both ballclubs. We start off lots of games you can come back, but at the indians can win tonight it is a huge boost. Last night was throwing corey kluber was spectacular also Roberto Perez was incredible. The early lead really was the key. They put up a statistic that th indians were eight and zero postseason. It was really good. Regarding pitcher like corey kluber. If he gets the lady knows how t protect it. Sure that he has plans it is not want to get far past pla. I think that its been a while since trevor bauer pitched in toronto, i think that they have banned all drone flights for the next month. Is it your birthday today . It is. Fox 8, we need to roll out all the stops, happy birthday. Thank you very much, thats awfully nice. Any special plans . Going to put all my had a keep warm. Congratulations. Thank you very much. As a kid, you dream to be in the world series. In for the major league players, he would dare to have the king that Roberto Perez did tuesday night. In his first world series game, he hit two home runs, as john telich asked him how key in the team were able toto get to much adversity. It was exciting. It was my first playoff experience. World series experience and jus having fun. Did a good job to control my emotionss ju and i described to take it one game. The both great managers. Experience in the playoffs and allaround. The gets going to fun. Rebutted looking forward to the series. How is the teen gown through to believe in itself a dork voice you ike it wasua confident bunch when he began the year but it seems lik some things as the year has gon on that it is solidified more you believe in one another . The bottom line is we stuck together the whole year, no matter a family have gone through some injuries and guys would step up. We are like a family. Every day we get closer and this time of year, you are dreaming about the world series and all that and thats what you work for the whole yeara especially offseason with spring training game the right wayay and find a way to win the games and have each others back and just having funv we dont put pressu on ourselves, if you look around, everybody is smiling an thats what you want on the team. We display, one game at a time and just got to continue to hopefully when to bring home the trophy to cleveland. Call that he has another big night trevor bauer wellbeing behind the plate, Lonnie Chisenhall in my field,b tyler naquin centre coco crisp merrifield, mike napoli at first and jason kipnis at second,ap Francisco Lindor at shortstop and another star, was a romero said third, last night they did something that few hav done to shut out the cubs. Was a great place indians or Something Else that silence the bats. S was a result of the curse of the bill goat. It stems from a tavern owner wa upset that hehe was kicked out of wrigley during the 45 world series,kit and its fans who com progressive over the past several days with billy goats eager to keep it from ending on their watch i think it is crazy by the works, do it again until it doesnt. Sixzero win like we did yesterday then brin the goats. Zz cubs fans eventually made up of the tavern owner and try to break the curse but some say that is still lingers nd. Last night, i think it was corey kluber. The end ends and cubs are looking to and the world series drought tonight a trip back to the last time brought home the brain and how bring it back when to keep people away. Earlier was walltowall. They are bursting with excitement again, for game two of the world series. If you follow trevor bauer and social media you probably notic he has ab good sense of humor. He tweeted this pc drone this afternoon with the message, high turnover, go cavs from jason mollett. Is remember, trevor bauer had a drone related incident in slice finger, he says, its great to know that thee cubs fans love me , how nice of them to send me a gift. T. The roles, and the championship is a little different than today as john telich takes us down memory la with a look at the man who had front seatat. Joined longtime newspaper veteran roger jones for a stroll down memory lane, back when the city last won a world series in 1948. In those days if you want something you got a ring s father, was a baseball write and broadcaster for over 30 years. Ba this video. He was a call for individual , he had the city under his spell he got along great with the media. When the club while the world serieses spread the love. It went to not just people who are on the field but were part of the extended this whole graduation rate. There is one diamond, on this, it is kind of simple in a simpler timeki. The 2,016th, Terry Francona would think hehe was missing ou if he were managing in 1948. With the approach to the postseason with the excitement but there werea o differences w the game was played versus today. Especially that he goes to the bullpen so often. N. A look at the game stories throughout the six games of the 1948 world series. And he did not go to the bullpe wants in the first four games. 8 long days of rest was not part of the 1948 tribe. He pitched into the world tiebreaker versus the red sox and did that on one days rest. And he pitched the entire game. He had partners like the cat grant and herb score, for a kid growing up it was like a fantas world. You brought the game home, he would bring some people home every once in a while, they would have a clambake. And some people would be in our house was a kid it was like mr. Donovan. Enjoyed look up to these fellows it was an interesting way to learn baseball. They took in game one, no doubt a great night and hope to the 2016 world series, john telich fox 8 news. Your mother was at the world series. She is here tonight, she is in the club seats. Want to let everyone know that fox will not broadcast the first p but will be on our facebook page. O we will be at available at fox 8. Com. , so stay tuned for game two o the world series coming tp fox 8. Stick with us at the game for complete coverage will be back tonight i did not email any, um, classified material. Really . The fbi said there were 110 classified emails that were exchanged. Hillary lied. And another lie . I respect the second amendment. But behind closed doors, hillary told liberal elites. The Supreme Court is wrong on the second amendment. Hillary will lie about anything to get elected. The nra institute for legislative action world cup, and super bowl li. The worlds biggest events are on fox sports. We are fox sports they say those who dont learn from history are doomed to repeat it. And though to get a Second Chance must take advantage. In the world series, there is no . . In game 1, the indians had dominating performances on the mound. Number 28 is on. Millers dominance continues. And the power surge from their battery mate. What a game for perez. Now the cubs have their work cut out for them to avoid the pressure of a 02 on this stage, the Little Things are crucial, and Second Chances are few and far between. Tonight, game 2. We welcome you to the Lincoln Motor Company world series pregame show on fox. Our thanks to the star of empire. Game 2 of the world series. Its the indians and cubs here from Progressive Field on a cold night. Rain in the forecast. Temperature at 43. 90 rain. Give some credit to major baseball. They moved they came up from 8 00 to 7 00, hoping to avoid the rain coming later. Hopefully that rain will stay away. Because of that, hitting in the cage earlier today, willson contreras. Hes been hitting all season long. He is the starting catcher tonight for the cubs. Trevor bauer is the starting pitcher for the indians. We will see if that finger can hold it together. Cleveland. The fans are fired up. Why not . Their indians have a 10 lead in this world series as we had to game 2. Frank thomas, pete rose, Alex Rodriguez, tom verducci. I am kevin burkhardt. Away we go. Shut out by cleveland last night. Here we are. Lets put ourselves in position of the cubs. I go back to your experience in the 09 in the world se number two . 66 he looked sandy koufax. Tonight, we won 103 games just like the cubs. We were confident. A. J. Burnett was lights out all season. He pitched a gem. Frank i dont look at a mustwin unless the opposition if the cubs go down 02, i dont know if theres too many teams that can be the indians four out of five games. 2015 cy young award winner. They need seven strong innings out of jake arrieta. Hes been up and down all year. They need him tonight. You are right. They should win because of the matchup you talked about, frank. Not a mustwin. Game three back at home. They give the ball to kyle hendricks. Hes been amazing at wrigley field. Only Grover Cleveland alexander was ever better at wrigley field. Not even pete faced Grover Cleveland alexander. Tonights starters look like this. Last years nl cy young award winner, jake arrieta. He will face trevor bauer. He left game three of the alcs. His injured pinky started bleeding profusely. You have some uncertainty for bauer, see how the pinky holds up. For arrieta, the question is, you go back to 2015 playoffs. He dominated pittsburgh. Was awesome. Since then he starts in the postseason have been rather pedestrian. Its the old arrieta, is he still in there . In there but not the difference between last year and this year is the slider. Its been inconsistent. What caught my attention when he pitched against the dodgers on the road, the dodgers thought when he got in trouble, the game sped up on him. That was shocking to me that a guy that is good, the game would speed up. He should have varied a breaking ball, threw a singer. Something to watch for. Gave up a couple home runs. Know anything about pitching. Im going to ask tom. Will the cold weather have anything to do with the slider . Stay warm in between innings. With these lefties the indians have come hes got to get that pitch in on their hands. What do you know about pitching . Nothing. Thats why i asked tom. What do we get from arrieta tonight and what to the cubs need . More swagger. He needs to work ahead in count against the indians. Its a really big game for jake, reestablishing himself as one of the premier pitchers in the game. Last series, number three. Now his pitching game too. First pitch is most important. When he doesnt have that, its a different pitcher. Arrieta tonight, with a carry the torch for chicago . We will find out. These fans in cleveland are doing their thing. Doesnt matter if its cold. Doesnt matter if its going to Andrew Miller has struck out more than half the batters hes retired retire this postseason. He tells former teammate what it was like being traded midseason. The sitdown conversation. Looking forward to that. Thats coming up. Field of dreams. Trevor bauer, will it be of dreams . We shall find out. Indians are hoping so. Kevin dyersville, iowa. . . Lease a 2016 lincoln mkx for 349 a month. Only at your lincoln dealer. Im here in bristol, virginia. And now. Im in bristol, tennessee. On this side of the road is virginia. And on this side its tennessee. No matter which state in the country you live in, you could save hundreds on Car Insurance look, im in virginia. Im in tennessee. Virginia. Tennessee. And now im in virginessee. See how much you could save on Car Insurance. Or am i in tennaginia . Hmmm. You should masterpass that, now. Hey dude. Xxxl i masterpassed it. That was fast. The fox world series pregame show is sponsored by the Lincoln Motor Company in the new lincoln 2016. Who can forget the movie majorleague. Like a little troll looking doll. Whatever we can give him, we donate that. Great movie. When you are here in cleveland, we only showed a quick shot but really see it. [laughter] frankie. Frank to relate to the movie, i had that in the locker room. Very important. Kevin in every one of these pictures, your head gets bigger and bigger. Talking about the cubs bat. They have hit big time. When theyve three times in this postseason now. That is what we are looking at and wondering why this cubs offense is so inconsistent with the talent they have. They were third in the league. Frank, you would like to see their lineup different. Frank you win 103 games. Joe maddon has Kyle Schwarber more table setters out there. So that rizzo can do his thing. Its important this time of year to dry runs in. Pete i dont disagree with frank but i disagree with frank. Joe maddon knows his lineup, his players. Hes got a lineup tonight, hes got a reason for it. Why this guy is hitting leadoff, this guy hitting fifth, hitting sixth. He knows what hes doing. He won 103 games. Hes not going to change. Frank you can make some changes when you are healthy. Get some table setters in there for these big poppers. Bat took heyward out of the lineup play thats a big change. Alex i am with you, pete. Who are we to tell joe maddon what to do . To me, the key is get back to what got them going against the dodgers was a humble bunt by ben zobrist. Tom one word that comes to mind. This is a team that loves velocity. Clayton kershaw, rich hill, corey kluber and trevor bauer has one of the best curveballs in baseball. A teardrop one. You will see lot of that pitch tonight. Breaking ball hit. 189 in the team, worst in the league. You expect more of that tonight. Talking about breaking balls, fastballs. No one, no one has been more dominant than Andrew Miller. He will tell his former teammate Alex Rodriguez what its been like. What . Is he gone . . Finally, i thought hed never leave. Tv character why are you texting my man at 2 a. M. . No. If you want someone to leave you alone, you pretend like youre sleeping. Its what you do. If you want to save fifteen percent or more on Car Insurance, you switch to geico. Its what you do. Tv character taking selfies in the kitchen does not make you a model. Robert kearney i fought for my country in kosovo and iraq, ve been a republican all my life. But im the father of three girls. I cant stand hearing donald trump call women pigs, dogs, and bimbos. And i sure dont want my daughters hearing it. I want my girls to grow up proud and strong, in a nation where theyre valued and respected. Donald trumps america is not the country i fought for. So, im voting for hillary clinton. Hillary clinton what are you doing . Getting your quarter back. Fountains dont earn interest, david. You know i work at ally. I was being romantic. You know what i find romantic . A robust annual percentage yield thats what i find romantic. This is literally throwing your money away. I think its over there. That way . Yeah, a little further up. What year was that quarter . What year is that one . 98 thats the one. You got it nothing stops us from doing right by our customers. Ally. Do it right. Kevin there is Andrew Miller. Third longest score list streak to start a career in the game. The guy is great, thats for sure. Hes been awesome. I know alex, you know him well. You were teammates. Alex hes one of my favorite teammates. He cares. He speaks up in meetings. With what i think is the x factor in this years world series. Andrew miller virtually unhittable. Alex we were teammates. You dealt with trade rumors. Cleveland indians went out and acquired are regulated the best lefthander in baseball, and or miller. Getting traded midseason is tough. You get to go to a place, this what hes doing is history making. Alex you have the most dominating slider in the game. Can you show us the grip . Two seems pretty i want to feel the seem on the outside of my middle finger. Trying to throw it for a strike, i can change the shape. If i want to back door it, i want a lateral break. Getting the swing all the little ultimately its just one pitch. Miller. Such a violent break. Alex pitching all over the place in the postseason, fifth, eighth. Take a three or mindset. There are a handful of guys that have been closers. Theres a Comfort Level there. Most of us in the bullpen, we start as the long guy, work your set up guy. You give them whatever they ask. Alex ninthinning, seventh game here in cleveland. Is there one hitter you dont want to face . Figure thats a long ways away. Its only a few days but its a long ways away. Itll be an incredible battle. What a special experience that would be. Im confident. The guys are confident in my ability. I would like to be i situation. Kevin nice job, alex. I know you love him. Give me the top reason why. Alex hes an assassin. He works hard. Hes intelligent but he went to north wind. He does his homework. He watches videos at 3 00 in the morning when we are going crosscountry. Her to marry Andrew Miller. Kevin wow. How about hitting against him. Frank, is it easier as a lefthander than a righty . Frank i dont know. Kevin easy is a bad term. Frank he has one pitch but he has a feel for the batter. Its a tough challenge for any guy. Velocity on the fastball. Thats what makes this guy very good. The eight 610 and went to North Carolina but how come he didnt play basketball . Alex i think he is tougher against lefties. He has a fourseamer away, fourseamer in. Wipeout slider. Kevin hes tough against everyone. He threw 46 last night, a lot of pages even for him. Whats his availability, tom, most in five years. I can tell you this. Terry francona got here at 11 00 a. M. Andrew miller already was here and he was already getting treatment to prepare to pitch tonight. I can guarantee you if cleveland has a lead late, he will be in the game, especially on Anthony Rizzo or Kyle Schwarber. Not for 46 pitches, but for one, two, maybe three batters. Kevin maybe not two innings. The most hes pitched pitches. He did that in september. Hes got one or two in him, thats for sure. Plenty more to do as we take you to game number two of this world series from cleveland. Indians with a shutout victory last night. The cubs turned to jake arrieta tonight. They need a good performance from the former cy young award winner. Arrieta will get it here in cleveland on a chilly night. Alex did a great job with that feature but after i read the jet engine . . heart beat . . water splashing rain drops engine revving tires on wet road . . Lease the exhilarating 2017 lincoln mkz for 349 a month kevin tonights aerial coverage over cleveland is brought to you by directv. If you call yourself a sports fan, you got to get directv.

[cheers and applause] game number 2 here in cleveland. Cold. Rained earlier. Theres a good chance of rain eater today. For now, the weather is going to hold off. Baseball to move this game up an hour and started at 7 08 eastern time. Hopefully the storm stays away. Right now, it shouldnt be a factor. Pete, lets talk about this. Lets say it does start to rain, how can it play into this . How can it be a factor . Pete two or three innings and your starter has to sit down. Some come back out, some dont. That means you have to go to your bullpen early which neither manager wants to do. Weatherby, frank . Frank you worry about overall defense. Miscues in a world series. Alex something to watch tonight, as much as cleveland likes to run with the wet and soft ground, and it may neue the running game. Kevin all games must be completed through nine innings. If we get rain. Theres no such thing as a rainshortened decisn. Crazy weather pattern. Hopefully we dont have to worry about anything like that tonight. How about this game 2 . We saw the indians come through, a shutout last night. How about tonight . Will the cubs get back in it . Tom i think they will. Im putting it on the shoulders of jake arrieta. Alex i think jake arrieta i expect him to pitch well, win and go to chicago 11. Pete i think he will pitch a great game but clevelands bullpen. Kevin going for a 20 indians lead. Frank i think we see vintage jake arrieta. They need seven strong innings, handing the ball to chapman. Kevin everybody likes arrieta tonight. Not you, p pete i love jake arrieta. But i think its clevelands year. Kevin we see if this offense for the cubs can get going tonight. The question is, against bauer, i dont know about this bullpen but can they get it going against the bauer . Tom they can. The key, make sure they score first. Especially true with the cleveland bullpen. Alex the thing to watch, they are having big problems hitting breaking balls
