Got him. Is a base hit. A world series win for the San Francisco giants. Its the night you dream of. At its best. There is no tomorrow. For 1908 two states hoping, wishing, dreaming for the chance to call them sales champions. Game 7. Everything you work for a cos down to this moment. This is the time. This is the game. This is it. . . We welcome you to the Lincoln Motor Company world series pregame show on fox. Our thanks from the hit show empire on fox. Its a doordie game 7 for the indians and cubs. There is francisco lindor. Hes been 18 hits in the postseason, third most by a player under 23 years old. Kris bryant, nice couple of games. Can he and the cubs offense stay hot tonight . We shall see. Whats the scene in chicago . They are all fired up and ready to go. Dorothy, are you they are . The fans in cleveland for at Progressive Field are storming on in, ready to rock. 72 degrees, when did not really a factor. Thats what weve got on tap. Thats what they are playing for, the commissioners trophy. Come on into our set in center field. Game number 7. Frank thomas, pete rose, alex rodriguez, tom verducci, im kevin burkhardt. Game 7 doordie. Pete, you played in a couple. Whats it like . The sixth i will tell you a little hint about this. The three baseball life was winning the world series. Worst days of my baseball life was losing the world series. Thats what a world series means to player. These trickle terkel alex i was nervous and anxious. To me, its a build up. You play 200 games to get to this point. You create a super bowl frank i remember a lot of nervous energy. The worst part is being in the hotel watching your favorite sports program. Once you get into the clubhouse, everything seemed to get back to normal. Pete you didnt have a problem eating that day . Frank not at all. Not at all. Kevin , i think its the biggest game in baseball history. Think about it. World series, nothing bigger than game seven. These two franchises combined have waited 176 years to win the world series. Red sox and reds, 75. 90 years of waiting. This blows anything away of what weve seen. Pete thats the most intelligent thing youve said. I agree with you. Kevin thats the bottom game number 1. Corey kluber amazing in that game. Six shutout innings. Andrew miller, cody allen closed the door. Indians won and want. Kyle schwarber delivered in gam. They try up in the series in in game number 3. Chicago shut out the second time and theories. Coco crisp delivers the games only rbi, giving cleveland a 21 world series edge. Corey kluber would do his thing in game 4 on short rest. Jason kipnis would put the game out of reach with a threerun home run and bring cleveland within a game of the title. Cubs responded in game 5. Kris bryant went deep for the First Time Since the nlds and Aroldis Chapman would get the first eight out innings of his career. Kris bryant in the first, here. That forces tonights game number 7 very cubs looking to join the short list of teams to come back from a 31 deficits. Indians manager Terry Francona looking to avoid all of this. He is standing by with Ken Rosenthal. Ken thanks, kevin. Terry, corey kluber pitching on three days rest. You expect hes going to be fine. Why . Its not because its easy to do. Im not downplaying that part. Thats how much faith in what we think of kluber, his work ethic. Theres not a reason not to feel that way. This guy, for the last three years, has been shouldering being the leader of this rotation. Ken what do you expect will be your most difficult decision tonight . Eighth inning. I get your point. Thats probably the biggest challenge. Because we have our ace on the mound. Hes going on short rest. You dont want to get to him too early but you certainly dont want to get there too late. I would say you err on the side of going to your bullpen. More regardless of when. Out fires. The biggest thing is to get a lead. As weve seen, both teams bullpens have been pretty dominating. Ken thanks. Good luck. Kevin lets look at the pitching matchup for tonight. Its corey kluber. Cant be better than him this postseason. Kyle hendricks has also been very, very good. Lead the majors in e. R. A. This we have a lot of fans, thats for sure. Cubs fans, indians fans. Theyve been waiting for this for a long, long time. That makes for one rowdy atmosphere. We welcome you back to our set. Corey kluber, great postseason. The interesting thing is, hes been exceptional in two different ways. Im curious what we are going to get tonight. Tom cubs have already made an adjustment from game 1 to in game 1, he chewed them up. If you watch closely. Pete, i know you saw this. Look at the lefties. Fowler leading off. He gets a little bit farther away from the plate to give room for that come back twoseamer. He started the game with a double. Two batters later, anthony rizzo, who loves to get on top of the plate, did the same thing. He told me he felt like he was a mile away. A matter of a couple inches but he had a base hit up the middle. Against the twoseamer. My issue is he showed us how well he can spin the baseball. You can take corey kluber in this parking lot in january and hell be able to spend the baseball. To me, thats the key. Cubs have to make sure that the curveball is in the zone. Out of the zone, there is no way they can hit it. Pete break down that tape, big boy. The five corey kluber is still one of the most underrated assets in the tale of two pitchers. Game one, he was all power. Reminded me of kevin brown. Game 2, completely different story. Touch, finesse, wipeout slider, reminding me of david cohen. Which corey kluber do we get tonight . Pete a two pitch mr. Kluber. He can throw fastballs, breaking ball. Im not worried about rest. They are not asking him to go havent seen any pitcher go eight innings. If he gets to five or six, cleveland, they are going to be hard to beat. Frank im worried about rest. Facing a team three times is a difficult job for any pitcher. Tonight i expect him to struggle until bit more early in the game. Pete rest is just like weather. It will have nothing to do with tonights game. Alex maybe he still has control of the game. How quickly does he push the button . Thats going to be fascinating. With everyone else, the quick hook is there. Is he going to be as quick with kluber . Kluber trying to do something that hasnt been done since 68. Starting pitcher went three games. Mickey lolich, they last started to do that. That is one storyline here cleveland fans have waited a long time. 52 years for a championship. Cleveland legend will explain what a win for the indians means tonight. We will hear from jim brown only come back. Thats jim. General manager, president of the cubs. foot steps . . crickets chirping . . jet engine . water splashing rain drops engine revving tires on wet road . . announcer vo the new pixel phone by google.

The new lincoln mkz he. Kyle schwarber. There is petes buddy. Pete cincinnati boy. Kevin cubs and indians, game number 7. As we know, prior to the cavaliers winning the nba title in june, the city of cleveland hadnt won a championship since the browns in 1964. The star of that team, the the city to have the indians and mack a 16 year drought tonight. Cleveland indians won win away from their first world title since 1948. Its been an impressive ride through this postseason for Terry Franconas bunch. When you look at the cavaliers and the joy they brought to the city and you see how close the indians are to backtoback, it would energize the people tremendously. Baseball fans, football fans, basketball fans. Great fans. They deserve it. When you realize the indians were underdogs, it makes it sweeter. This is a team with a chip on its shoulder. They believe they are going to be the world champs. They are going crazy at we might have a world champion. After the cavaliers won the title, lebron james said this is for you, cleveland. This one is also for you, cleveland, tonight. Kevin cubs get plenty of attention for their world series drought. Indians are third longest in the cubs and the arizona cardinals. Its been a long time for both teams. Here is lebron james, who knows a thing or two about game 7. Last year, cavs beat the warriors. The two greatest words in sports, game 7. Live in the moment and the game will play itself out. Fans here in cleveland, they are ready to rock. How can you not be ready . Game number 7 for crying out loud. Got to be fired up. The commissioners trophy. The indians have been great. We know that. They seem to be set up for you have your ace on the mound. Bullpen is arrested. If you had to look at a concern for cleveland, what would it be . Frank falling behind early. Take the home crowd out of the ball game and not being able to get the ball to Andrew Miller early enough. Its key for them for kluber to hand the ball off to miller. Pete i think its the offense. You have to score some runs on the ball club in cleveland and they dont want to lose the world series. Probably needs a little more into a veteran player than those young kids over there. They probably think im going to get back here several more times. Alex its clevelands defense. Concerning last night. That defense can be contagious. To me, its obvious what Tito Francona values putting rajai davis out there. World series because they couldnt catch a high school popup. Tom i think they have been pressing as the series starts slipping away. Kipnis swinging the bat great. When you give the ball to corey kluber, whos been your ace, especially october. Doesnt matter how bad you are feeling. Thats chicken soup. You start feeling really good. World series. The play last night didnt go as an error. We will see if that gets cleaned up tonight. This will be the fifth time theres been a world series gam. We take a look back at some of the alltime classic game sevens when we come back as we look at ben zobrist. Hes hadnt thought of a redhot world series. Zobrist, another big game last here in cleveland, these fans ready to go. We are too. Back with game number 7 on fox. 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 by switching to geico. Look, im in virginia. Im in tennessee. Virginia. Tennessee. And now im in virginessee. Insurance. Or am i in tennaginia . Hmmm. Youre here to buy a used car, truck, suv. Thats smart.

The twins are going to win the world series. A liner. Into center field. The florida marlins have won the world series. Center field. The diamondbacks are world champions. About all you can say for madison bumgarner, wow. World series win for the San Francisco giants. Their hero, madison bumgarner. Maybe jason kipnis will be a hero tonight for his indians. Three hits and a home run last night. See what hes doing in this world series. We look at the fans at Progressive Field on a nice, temperature is the pricing how warm it is but we will take it. We welcome you on back to our set. Game number 7. Frank thomas, pete rose, alex rodriguez, tom verducci. Im kevin burkhardt. We showed you jason kipnis. How about Ken Rosenthal . He is standing by with one of the cubs team leaders, anthony rizzo. E time in nine days you have faced corey kluber. How much do you think the familiarity will help . I think it will help a lot. At the end of the day, youve got to hit pitches he makes mistakes on. If we do a good job making him throw his pitches over the plate and not expanding. I think the guys seeing him for the third time and however many days, its beneficial. We still got to go out there and score some runs. Playing game seven of the world series. What is it like that the moment is here . Weve got to win. We have to score runs and get the lead and hold on to it like no other. Its going to be fun atmosphere. Im grateful to be part of it. Ken thanks very much. Kevin thinks. Heres the cubs lineup for game number 7. Like it was in game 6. If it aint broke, dont fix it. Th and did just fine. Bryant has a four hit night. Contreras, heyward, baez. This cubs team, they are going to be shut out one night and dropped nine the next night. Definitely some adjustments last night. Alex last night they were cubs happen to be in the national league. To me, they are an American League team. One of their best hitters, kyle schwarber. They get to put him in the lineup and not sacrifice their defense. Frank more confident, more relaxed. That goes a long way in a short series. Ever since kris bryant hit that home run at wrigley. You saw what happened last night. It was a 92 ball game. Pete the team woke because bryant woke up. Four hits last night. Dont expect 11 hits from two, three, four, five tonight. Its not going to happen. Tom i havent seen corey kluber hang his curveball the whole season. The difficulty with the breaking ball is it moves so much that you convince yourself to be disciplined. Its harder to do. Today they get the varsity in corey kluber. Kevin they are chasing out of the strike zone 40 of the time. Against kluber and game number 4, they chased 51 of his pitches. You cant win doing that. Frank remember that. More relaxed cubs hitters. Kevin why does it translate . Frank when you feel confident. Thats what you saw last night. Pete you said eight words. Frank are you a mathematician . Pete they are not the big red machine. They looked like the big blue machine. What stops an avalanche is great pitching. Fourth pitcher in Major League History to win the e. R. A. Title kevin you are telling tom. We cant hear it . Pete you know everything else. Kevin lets look at the cubs bullpen and Aroldis Chapman. Hes been used quite a bit. 62 pitches thrown. Obviously it was interesting last night with a huge lead coming in. That is going to be fascinating tonight. If we get to a situation where hes needed, how hes used, how much he can give you with all the innings hes pitched. Aroldis chapman. There are so many storylines in this cubs bullpen. Indians, we kind of know where its going. With the cubs, how long can chapman go . Are going to see lester and arrieta and lackey . Tom im glad you asked. Ive got the script. Kyle hendricks, 90 pitches. Jon lester, two innings. Chapman. The issue is, lester cannot come into a game with runners on base. He needs a clean inning. Between hendricks and lester. Probably montgomery or edwards. To me, chapman is the key. I think despite throwing 20 pitches in game 6, 42 in game 5, i think you can go all bumgarner on game 7. I used that as a verb. Bumgarner. Pitch count out the window. Pete i think that is what joe is thinking. Kevin three innings . Pete at least two. Obvious with the strategy. He doesnt trust anybody unless they have the last name chapman or montgomery. Jon lester is interesting. I wouldnt use him unless i had a tworun lead. Frank tonight should be all hands on deck. Game 7 of the world series. Your next game is in march. What ever you have to do. Joe maddon will have to get it done. Im looking for a long ball game with a lot of pitching changes. Kevin talking about lester and a tworun game. Thats the other thing. You can bring in lester in a clean inning but as soon as somebody gets it its different if you are starting in the seventh. Tom i think lester and a onerun game, thats scary. David ross would have to come in. Lackey is more of an extra inning guy. Kevin you like lackey. Frank i like john lackey. He will drop down, do whatever it takes to get hitters out. Pete who is lackey . Alex john lackey. Before i am curious if that clip is available. A lot more to do here on this pregame show. You wonder, what is 108 years of waiting due to the psyche of a cubs fan
