sports director andy baskin is live inside the stadium at progressive field on the field. francona is pulling out corey kluber again to start game seven, andy. >> the way you guys set things one brantley being hurt and wasn't just one arm tied behind their back, it was both arms and both legs. the one thing i learned today especially on my radio show is that cleveland has a calm about it today that i don't know that we would have had in years past. i would say it's primarily because of the cavaliers winning. but it's game seven, you're a little kid, you're getting the pitch, and you hit that big home run that everybody wants you to. that is what g about. it makes people nervous except for today's starting pitcher, corey kluber. >> it's been a blast to think that we've all really enjoyed ourselves, and i think that we can take a lot from the way we've approached it and not treating it more than just each game is another game and trying to go out and win, not trying to look too far ahead or things like that. i think there's value to taking that approach throughout the course
