for the cubs, magnified. it doesn't get any better than this right here. look at that move by chapman. he takes a while to the plate. the difference for chicago is they've got willson contreras behind the plate who can really throw it. and we've seen the tagging abilities by javier baez down at second. >> joe: chapman calls time out and wants a new baseball. for the indians to be in, up three games to one, even though they're down one run in this game, they can afford to be aggressive, they can afford to take chances, put the heat continuously on the cubs and hope for a mistake. hope for a crack in the armor of the cubs but at this point it's all about chapman being able to throw strikes. finishing the job. >> joe: contreras is active behind the plate. runner at first if he gets the chance. >> joe: kipnis. ball one. season high in pitches for chapman, 36. career high, 44 last july with cincinnati. >> joe: after that ball bounced over to first, the indians were saying "check the ball." joe west alerted the home plate umpire, tony randazzo. they got chapman's

let's put ourselves in position of the cubs. i go back to your experience in the '09 in how did it feel going into game number two? 66 he looked sandy koufax. tonight, we won 103 games just like the cubs. we were confident. a.j. burnett was lights out all season. he pitched a gem. >> frank: i don't look at a must-win unless the opposition if the cubs go down 0-2, i don't know if there's too many teams that can be the indians four out of five games. >> 2015 cy young award winner. they need seven strong innings out of jake arrieta. he's been up and down all year. they need him tonight. >> you are right. >> they should win because of the matchup you talked about, frank. not a must-win. game three back at home. they give the ball to kyle hendricks. he's been amazing at wrigley field. only grover cleveland alexander was ever better at wrigley field. not even pete faced grover cleveland alexander. >> tonight's starters look like this. last year's nl cy young award winner, jake arrieta. he will face trevor bauer. he left game three of t

indians appeared to be ready as we see the cubs in the world series. jon leicester for the cubs. of ace corey kluber. he was the winning pitcher in the all-star game which meant the american league got home field advantage. how is it the corey kluber wins the all-star game and pitches tonight? we will talk about a key injury. it appears jason kidd this is healing well after a celebration injury suffered in toronto. kipnis sprained ankle during his jumping up and down celebration with lindor. will be worried about his ankle. >> trust me, if we win this one, i won't be worried about it. it was a freak accident. when you add the blood pumping and sweating going on, if there was some good swelling coming from it. hopefully it will look like it never even happen tomorrow. >> reporter: let's hope so. to show you the interest, espn is reporting this morning someone has bought four tickets behind the plate for game four saturday night for wrigley field for $64,000. i bring in will ujek now and i hope you enjoyed your trip to chicago with those tickets. >> reporter: holy cow, john. i would
