Cleveland Indians vs Chicago Cubs, World Series Game 2: All Your Questions Answered

CLEVELAND, OH - Corey Kluber was masterful in the opening game of the World Series, pitching six innings and surrendering no runs and only four hits, while striking out nine. Then Manager Terry Francona turned the ball over to some guy named Andrew Miller and Roberto Perez crushed two home runs. The rest was, as they say, history. The Tribe cruised to a Game 1 win by a score of 6-0.

On to the next game.

Who is Throwing Out the First Pitch in Game 2?: Former Indians second baseman Carlos Baerga has that honor. Baerga spent eight seasons in a Tribe uniform, making three All-Star teams and winning two Silver Slugger awards and was a member of the 1995 World Series team.

Exactly How Dominant Has Corey Kluber Been This Post-Season?: Very. Take a look at these numbers.

That's scary good.

Did the Cavaliers Win Their Home Opener?: They most certainly did. The defending champions blew out the New York Knicks by a score of 117-88. Kyrie Irving dropped 29 points, LeBron James had a triple-double, and the whole team Rick Rolled to the finish line.

How Good Was Andrew Miller?: This question is getting redundant. He was very good. He was Andrew Miller good.

At one point, he faced a bases loaded situation and then worked his way out of the jam without giving up a run.

Oh, and these are his stats so far this postseason.

The man is pitching at an absolutely insane level.

They're not. We're confirming that they are not. His sliders are currently wanted in at least three states.

Are There Indians Fans in Tennessee?: Apparently, and apparently they like to stay up-to-date with the game while chilling in the Grand Ole Opry and silently watching Kluber mow down hitters.

Are There Indians Fans in Chicago?: Even there you can find the Tribe faithful.

When Are We Supposed to Sleep?: I'm sorry about this, but November. You're going to have to recoup your lost sleep in November. The bright side? These memories last forever...if you're not in a sleep deprived haze.
