WHO OWNED OCTOBER (#WOO) – TALLIES UPDATED FOR NLCS GAME 7, October 18, 2020

Robert Gauthier / Los Angeles Times

And here we go! We have a World Series match up.

Who owned October on October 18?

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 18, 2020 –

GAME 7 of the NLCS

Receiving 1 WOO

Cody Bellinger reached base 3 times and launched the tie breaking home run in the 8th to help seal the Dodgers pennant clinching 4-3 win over the Braves,

Receiving 1/2 WOO

Mark Melancon kept the Dodgers off the board in the 9th to give the Braves a chance in the 4-3 loss.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – September 21, 2013

Your pal Sully at Ralph’s

While buying milk late at night at a Ralph’s in South Pasadena, I figured it was a good time to record The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

The Red Sox won the AL East.

I said they were going to stink. I was wrong. And MAN I am glad to eat crow about THAT one. And I do eat crow with pleasure.

But the Pirates are making big mistakes, and none bigger than keeping Mark Melancon in the closer role.

Jon Lester, Torii Hunter, Matt Adams and Jordan Zimmermann all owned baseball on September 20, 2013.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – September 21, 2013

Have you learned your lesson, Mark Melancon?

My kids sometimes get into trouble. And when they do, I’ll send them to their room and let them think about why daddy is mad.

And after about 20 minutes or so, I’ll go into the room.

Usually the first thing I will say is “Have you learned your lesson?”

I think the same can be said to reliever Mark Melancon. The Red Sox traded 2008 Division Series hero Jed Lowrie for Melancon to be a contributor in the bullpen.

He saved 20 games for the lowly Astros in 2011. He must have been able to do something in Boston.
And he did. In 4 April games, he had a 49.50 ERA, lost 2 games and let up 5 home runs in 2 innings.

Not 5 runs. 5 HOMERS! He let up 11 runs in 2 innings.
He let up 2 walks and 4 hits (including 3 homers) in his final game on April 17 in Texas. He recorded zero outs.

He was sent to Pawtucket, just like my kids are sent to their room.

Now he has pitched a month in Pawtucket.
He has pitched 13 innings in as many games. He has struck out 21 batters in those 13 innings and walked none. He has allowed only 9 hits and has a 0.00 ERA for the PawSox, saving 5 games.

It is safe to say that he is better than a AAA pitcher right now.

He’s learned his lesson.
He said he is sorry.
He will finish his spelling homework and not hit his brother.

The Red Sox need a good arm in the bullpen.

Let him come out and play.
