Who Owned October (#WOO) – Tallies Updated For ALCS Game 2, October 13, 2019

Karen Warren/Houston Chronicle Staff Photographer

Well look what we’ve got here! We have ourselves an ALCS! The Astros won a thriller and will go to New York with the series tied and their ace on the mound.

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.

But the World Series deserves its own stats. WOWS (Who Owns the World Series.)

At the end of the post season, we will see who had the highest WOO total as a pitcher and a hitter. The WOWS total will be kept separately. Each game now counts towards both tallies.

A complete description of the rules can be found HERE.

From October 13
2019 ALCS Game 2:

Receiving 1 WOO

Carlos Correa hit an RBI doubkle in the second and a walk off homer in the 11th to give the Astros a dramatic 3-2 victory over the Yankees.

Justin Verlander was not his sharpest but he did pitch into the 7th, allowing 2 runs over 6 2/3 innings, striking out 7 Yankees and setting up the Astros 3-2 walk off win.

Receiving 1/2 WOO

Aaron Judge hit a 2 run homer in the 4th to give the Yankees all of their scoring in the 3-2 loss to the Astros.
