>> home to the world series, the big ten, and pac-12 championship. the daytona 500, the u.s. open championship, the fee for world cup, and super bowl li. the world's biggest events are on >> we are fox sports! >> they say those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. and though to get a second chance must take advantage. in the world series, there is n

game one the indians of dominating performances on the mound and a power surge. now the cubs have their work cut out for them. to avoid depression of an 02 hold. on this stage, the little things are crucial and second chances are few and far between. tonight in game two. game 2.

>> we welcome . welcome you to the lincoln motor company world series pregame show on fox. star of empire, you can see that show on fox. game to i have the world series, it is the indians and the cubs here from progressive field on a cold night. rain in the forecast. they moved the game up from 8:00 to 7:00. hopeful that will rain will stay away. because of that. hitting the case of earlier today. wilson has been hitting all season long. hit in the last two games, he's the starting catcher tonight for the cubs. bower is the starting pitcher for the indians.

cleveland. the fans are fired up and why not? because they're indians have a 1-0 lead in this world series as we head to game two, frank thomas. let's put ourselves in position of the cubs and if this is a must win. >> i go back to your experience in the 09 world series. cliff lee in the phillies and got shutdown, how di i for you going into game two >> cliff lee was -- he looked like sandy kofaks. tonight, like 2009 we won 103 games like the cubs. he pitched a gem in came two. that's exactly what they have to do.

they got to win four out of five. i don't know if there's too many teams in the world in that pitching staff t four out of five >> you got the 2015 cy young award winner on the mound, they lead seven strong innings. he's been up and down all year, need them to show up big to hand the ball off. i like their >> you're right. there is no panic. they go 1-1 and go back them to. they feel the match-up you talked about. it's not a must, win, game three back at home, they give the ball to kyle hendricks and he's been amazing at wrigley field. only grover cleveland alexander was ever better. that was a long time ago >> tonight's starters look like, it is last year's cy young award

his injured pinky is stitched up. uncertainty for indians seeing how the pinky and finger holds up. then for arietta. you go back to the 2016. the pitch was awesome. since then his starts have been rather -- it's the old, a rietta. is he still in there >> not consistently, because the difference bet this year is has been very inconsistent. the guys that caught my attention when he pitched against the dodgers on the road in the nlcs. the dodgers thought when he got in trouble, the game sped up on him. that was shocking to me that a guy this good, the game would speed up. he should have buried a breaking ball through a singer over the plate. something to watch for if he gets in trouble again tonight >> see if either one of these

i'm going to ask tom would the cold weather have anything to do with the slider >> stay warm in between innings with all the leftys the indians have, he's got to get the pitching in. >> let me ask you, what are we getting from marietta tonight? >> throw strike one, when he's ahead, he can finish you, he needs his work ahead in the count tonight against indians >> it's a really big game for jake, reestablishing himself as one of the premier pitchers. now pitching game two, first pitch is most important for him. >> when he doesn't have that, it sensible a different pitcher. that is for sure. so tonight will he carry the torch for chicago? we will find out. these fans in cleveland are doing their things. does it matter if going to rain, they're here supporting their

indians. >> he's struck out more than half the batters. he tells rodriguez what it was like being treated mid season, i'll have a sit-down conversation coming up >> yes. >> there's trevor bower, will it be his field of dreams tonight? we shall find on it? indians are hoping. >> kevin cosner. iowa. ? ? ??

>> kind of like this movie? >> look, this year, he tears it up until romo comes back. behind the best line in football. cowboys feast on the nfc league, they're going to the super bowl and you'reab >> horrible plot management.

the fox world series pregame show sponsored by the lincoln motor company in the new 2016 mkx. who can forget the move major i got a couple of bobble heads. >> it was like a little trow. >> blanket in there. >> whatever we can give him. >> get our bats on head, we donate that. >> great movie. parks of course, you're talking about when you're here in cleveland, only showed a quick shot. we were able to get a close-up

>> frankie. >> i'll tell you what, those days, movie, i had cigarettes and i was smoking hitting the major league and they're very important >> every one of these pictures your head gets bigger and bigger. >> >> the cubs, in the games they've hit, big time, six runs game, when three times in this post season now. and that is what we're looking at. wondering why the cubs offense is so inconsistent with the talent they have, third in the league this year. >> frank, i know you would like to see the lineup different >> you want to make change, joe madden has this new guy who make this lineup a deeper. i would like to see him go something like -- rizzo by

really do their thing, get runs out there. because it's important this time of year to drive runs in. >> i don't disagree with frank. i'll tell you what. because joe madden know his lineup, he knows his players better than anybody else in this world. he got a lineup tonight. he's got a reason for it. why this guy is hitting the lead-off, fifth, sixth, he knows what he's games and he's not going to change >> they're helping pete. that's the only reason i said you can make changes when you're healthy. the lineup is great. get table setters for these big boppers. >> i got down to the bottom of the lineup. >> i'm with you, pete. i really don't care about lineups. who are we to tell joe madden what to do. he got a team won 103 games. to me, it's get back to small

dodgers was a humble bunt. >> one word that comes to mind to explain this inconsistency of the cubs, spent. this is a team that loves velocity and getting beat by curve balls. they have one of the best curve balls in baseball. drops bound nine inch, you'll see a lot of that pitch tonight. >> and the cubs this year against that breaking ballit you would expect a lot more of that coming tonight. we know that talk about breaking balls. whatever, no one -- no one been more dominate than andrew miller. and former team mate alex rodriguez. what it's like.

is he gone?? finally, i thought he'd never leave... tv character: why are you texting my man at 2 a.m.? no... if you want someone to leave you alone, you pretend ke you're sleeping. if you want someone 's what you do.alone, if you want to save fifteen percent or more car insurance, you switch to geico. it's what you do. tv character: taking selfies in the kitchen does not make you a model. robert kearney: i fought for my country in kosovo and iraq, and i've been a republican all my life. e father of three girls. i can't stand hearing donald trump call women pigs, dogs, and bimbos...and i sure don't want my daughters hearing it. i want my girls to grow up proud and strong, in a nation where they're valued and respected. donald trump's america is not the country i fought for. so, i'm voting for hillary clinton. hillary clinton: i'm hillary clinton and i approve this message.

getting your quarter back. fountains don't earn interest, david. you know i work at ally. i was being romantic. you know what i find romantic? a robust annual percentage yield that's what i find romantic. this is literally throwing your money away. i think it's over there. that way? yeah, a little further up. what year was that quarter? what year is that one? '98 that's the one. you got it! nothing stops us from doing right by our customers. ally. do it right.

welcome to nlb tonight. >> there's drew miller 22 innings in post season career, it's the third longest scoreless streak. it may be a difference, the guy is great. that is for sure. he has been awesome and i know alex you knew him well. you were team mates with andrew miller >> he's one of the my favorite. he speaks up and yes had an what i think is the x factor in this year's world series. >> virtually unhad itible. >> >> when you get trade, you get traded to a good team.

p. >> miller. such a violent break. >> alex: pitching all over the place in the postseason, fifth, eighth. take a three or mindset. >> there are a handful of guys that have been closers. there's a comfort level there. most of us in the bullpen, we start as the long guy, work your way back, maybe the specialist.

. you hear how the team embraces you. you give them whatever they are. 9th inning. seventh game of the world series here in cleveland. is it one hit over there that you don't want face. it's only a few days, it's a long ways away. i think, indeed, an incredible battle. i can't imagine how loud that would be and what a special experience that would be. i'm confident and the guys we got are confident and i'd like

easier as a left-hander than a righty? >> frank: i don't know. >> kevin: easy is a bad term. >> frank: he has one pitch but he has a feel for the batter. it's a tough challenge for any guy. velocity on the fastball. that's what makes this guy very good. north carolina but how come he didn't play basketball? >> alex: i think he is tougher against lefties. he has a four-seamer away, four-seamer in. wipeout slider. >> kevin: he's tough against everyone. he threw 46 last night, a lot of pages even for him. what's his availability, tom, for tonight?

most in five years. i can tell you this. terry francona got here at 11:00 a.m. andrew miller already was here and he was already getting treatment to prepare to pitch tonight. i can guarantee you if cleveland has a lead late, he will be in the game, especially on anthony rizzo or kyle schwarber. not for 46 pitches, but for one, two, maybe three batters. >> kevin: maybe not two innings. the most he's pitched back-to-back games is 54 pitches. he did that in september. he's got one or two in him, that's for sure. plenty more to do as we take you to game number two of this world series from cleveland. indians with a shutout victory last night. the cubs turned to jake arrieta tonight. they need a good performance from the former cy young award winner. arrieta will get it here in cleveland on a chilly night. alex did a great job with that feature but after i read the

[cheers and applause] >> game number 2 here in cleveland. cold. rained earlier. there's a good chance of rain eater today. for now, the weather is going to hold off. good job by major league hour and started at 7:08 eastern time. hopefully the storm stays away. right now, it shouldn't be a factor. pete, let's talk about this. let's say it does start to rain, how can it play into this? how can it be a factor? >> pete: two or three innings and your starter has to sit down. some come back out, some don't. that means you have to go to your bullpen early which neither manager wants to do.

weatherby, frank? >> frank: you worry about overall defense. miscues in a world series. >> alex: something to watch tonight, as much as cleveland likes to run with the wet and soft ground, and it may neue the running game. >> kevin: all games must be completed through nine innings. if we get rain. there's no such thing as a rain-shortened decision. the game with philly and crazy weather pattern. hopefully we don't have to worry about anything like that tonight. how about this game 2? we saw the indians come through, a shutout last night. how about tonight? will the cubs get back in it? >> tom: i think they will. i'm putting it on the shoulders of jake arrieta. >> alex: i think jake arrieta has a lot to prove tonight.

and go to chicago 1-1. >> pete: i think he will pitch a great game but cleveland's bullpen. >> kevin: going for a 2-0 indians lead. >> frank: i think we see vintage jake arrieta. they need seven strong innings, handing the ball to chapman. >> kevin: everybody likes arrieta tonight. not you, pete. >> pete: i love jake arrieta year. >> kevin: we see if this offense for the cubs can get going tonight. the question is, against bauer, i don't know about this bullpen but can they get it going against the bauer? >> tom: they can. the key, make sure they score first. especially true with the cleveland bullpen. >> alex: the thing to watch, they are having big problems hitting breaking balls. bauer, the league hits .134
