Who Owned October (#WOO) – Tallies Updated For NLCS Game 3, October 14, 2019

Tommy Gilligan, USA TODAY Sports

Something that has not happened since 1933 could be clinched tomorrow. A Washington World Series? Stephen Strasburg wants to make it real.

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 14
2019 NLCS Game 3:

Receiving 1 WOO

Howie Kendrick doubled three times, driving in 3, to lead the Nationals to a commanding 8-1 victory over the Cardinals.

Stephen Strasburg dominated St. Louis over 7 innings, allowing 7 hits, 1 unearned run and no walks while striking out 12 to earn the 8-1 decision for Washington.

Receiving 1/2 WOO

José Martínez continued to be the Cardinals’ only reliable bat, collecting 2 hits and scoring their only run in the 8-1 loss to Washington.
