tony zarrella is in toronto and is encouraging all of us tribe fans just to relax. right, tony? >> tony: well, the champagne is on ice and it will have to stay that way for at least one more night. maybe it is the law of averages. the indians rattled off six straight wins in these playoffs. they are not going to win every game. we thought they might, but the bluejays are still breathing and they will live to see another day. i can tell you that after talking with the tribe after the game there is no one in that room that is panicking. that said the numbers have to be better. they weren't awful. he went three innings on three days rest. but that big mistake cost him, the solo homerun and klubber five innings. then it got away in the seventh. brian shaw throwing the ball away and that opened up the inning for the bluejays. they capitalize on encarnacion's two-run single. see you later, put it in the books, 5-1. they have to come back in game five and be better. >> they out played us today. that's how i felt. itself plain -- it is plain and simple. they deserved to win. >> thisy ar

so let's head to tony zarrella live at progressive field. tony, a little different weather -- wrigley. little different weather than what we saw game two, huh? >> reporter: spectacular. i don't know if you get credit it's a beautiful night here at wrigley field. it's everything you would expect this to be in their first world series in 71 years. it feels like the entire city is outside this ballpark partying right now. and inside the energy, you can feel it. even four hours away from game time. by the way, the tribe has made the move. terry francona putting carlos santana in left field and he will lead off. he's going for it. it could turn off if that bat comes alive. you look at pitching. kyle hendricks goes for the cubs. season. he's been great. especially in the playoffs. we got josh tomlin on the hill. i'm going to give you a stat here because he is well rested and ready to go. when josh tomlin pitches this year on six days rest or more, he is 5-0 with a .225 era. he comes into tonight on 12 days rest. they love his control. he won't walk

time now to talk to sports director tony zarrella who is joining me live downtown. tony, you feeling good about game one tonight? >> reporter: i'm feeling great about game one because of corey kluber. he was tremendous. 7 or 8 scoreless innings against the red sox. now, with trevor bauer being pushed back because of the cut on his pin key finger after he was repairing a drone, you can't make it up. another hit to the rotation. but they're hopeful of going game three, ro. and we have to get strong starts now in games one and two out of kluber and then josh tomlin looking ahead to tomorrow. >> romona: tony, you probably heard me talking to gary the numbers guy. the browns 0-5, josh mccown is not going to be around for the titans. >> tony: well, i look at it like this. c cody kesler is the 26th starter for the browns since he came back. 2 and 6 add up to 8. martin is number 8 for the tennessee titans. i don't think we can beat him on sunday because of that. >> romona: already. lebron -- [ laughing ] >> romona: let's talk about him. he's chilling on the sidelines eating

. >> nichole: sports director tony zarrella is north oft border this morning. he talked about bouncing back. >> reporter: i never liked the talk of a sweep to begin with. i thought it would be s maybe seven. i thinked indians have a better shot to put it away in six than seven. they need to avoid getting rattled, clean the slate and come back and get back to work. trust me, i talked with members of the tribe after game four, and they were not rattled. >> we have to gooma tomorrow and play our game, you know. we have to try and do things right and be ourselves and see what happens. you know, of course, we wanted to finish it today, but that we have a lot of games to be played. >> do you leave the building and come back tomorrow? >> absolutely. they got this one. tomorrow is another day. come back tomorrow, play hard and hopefully get it. >> they have life every game. they're playing at home. that's not an issue. we treat every game the same, win or loss and how we prepare. guys take care of their bodies and nobody is pouting. they're ready to go tomorrow. >> tha

tony zarrella begins our indians team coverage. santana walked into the tribe's clubhouse before game five and said to mike napoli, i am going deep today, which, of course, carlos did in the third inning. that was huge. they had the 1-0 lead on napoli's double, but that gave a second run to ryan merritt, who is making only his second major league start. it's incredible. he handled it so well, but that gave him a cushion and merritt took it from there giving the tribe everything they needed. >> terry told me that i don't have to go out there a to the ninth inning, you know. go out and pitch as hard as you can until he comes out and taking a ball from me and that was my main focus. keep as many runs off the board as i could until he took the ball out of my hand. >> he worked ahead with an 86, 85-mile-per-hour fastball. he beat their barrel a number of times. he didn't let them get to him. he was phenomenal, and i'm sure when it's all said and done a game like this will go light his mature. >> reporter: merritt may be the latest surpr

although rogers centre, i'm tony zarrella, cleveland 19 news. >> tia: pull out your brooms early. on social media you saw all the gifts about memes about trevor bouwer. this is one created for trevor bouwer's drone. the #bow tweets. we have more media reaction at 6:35. >> nichole: today at 4:08, the windians play the blue jays in game four of the series. if they win, they will heading to the world series for the first time since 1997. those clevelanders out there remember that series well, and jose mesa and corey kluber will pitch for the indians today. you can guarantee all the bars and restaurants downtown and really around northeast ohio later today. you can go to our cleveland 19 mobile app. we have posted information on the official watch parties in the area. we will also continue to bring you live team coverage from toronto and from right here in cleveland. >> tia: not only is this story frightening, it's really posing a lot of questions at this point. this is breaking news that we are checking into this morning. cleveland police say they found a bag of human remains yesterd

jim thome and tony zarrella, guys. take it away. >> reporter: well, listen, they said to me who do you want to hang out with just before the game. it would be like sitting t little bit. [ laughing ]. >> reporter: i said it has to be tony zarrella and indian slugger jim thome here. this does not get any better? >> reporter: first of all, the kredibility on the set just increased significantly. second of all, i've never done a show with a guy that's a statue. [ laughing ] >> yes. i'm here with you guys. the credibility is with you guys. [ laughing ] >> so it's all great. >> reporter: jim, i asked you before we came on the air, does it feel like yesterday that '95 and '97 happened and what were >> oh, my gosh. the excitement. the joy of the city. just everyone you could genuinely as a player you could feel the passion and the excitement every day. and we as players fed off of that every day. all of the playoff games leading up to that, you know. you would come down here on 9th street and people would be lined up. you know

at first energy stadium, tony zarrella, cleveland 19 news. >> thank you, z. here was the thing we were thinking lydia maybe we would get vengeance on that team up in new englandit sox maybe going down today. unfortunately didn't happen. >>lydia: no it didn't happen because of weather. mark schwab is in boston. mark, we're told the weather is going to get better tomorrow, so hopefully they'll get in that game when they rescheduled it. >>mark: tomorrow, 6:08. it rained all day here in boston. finally just stopped about an hour ago. they couldn't have played today. they could've sat around for hours and hours. had to bump game three until tomorrow. so same pitching matchup as buc holtz for the red sox. i think this rain out helps the red sox if they get it to a game four because it changes how they use rotation. fourth starter won't come into play this too. game four would have rick porcello, back on the mound on four days rest. game 5 if there is one, david price would be on the mound. he was never supposed to come back into play in this series but that's what

tony zarrella is live from the windy city. tomlin has been phenomenal the last two starts. can he do it again? >> tony: he can do it again. in a place like wrigley field he needs somebody who won't get rattled and he believes he has the right person for the job. cubs fans, you probably know about the guy who dropped 64,000 on four tickets behind for tomlin it is about one specter. his father. he was paralyzed following an illness. doctors don't know if he will walk again, but he was released pr a rehabilitation center and he is here in chicago. they were expected to meet at the team hotel with other family members. he won both games, one against the red sox and one gyps the bluejays -- one against the bluejays. now it is in front of his biggest supporter. >> he is here. he will be -- i don't know when he is flying out, but he should get here later tonight. it is good to see him later tonight and have dinner with him and then get to work tomorrow. >> what will it mean to have your dad here tomorrow night? >> it means a lot. he hasn't been to a game in quite awhile. it wasn't

cleveland 19 sports director tony zarrella had an opportunity to get in the winning it's fun when they win. he spoke with the players who were part of that rally. >> the ball flew out the park, especially that way and especially in the third inning when the indians went deep three times in four at-bats. perez and kipnis and lindor. i talked with lindor about how they turned the game around in the third inning. >> i was trying to continue the rally. he told me to stay short. couldn't be happier after it went out. >> after the first one it was exciting. after mine it was getting nuts in there. the third one, our dugout was kind of losing it. we play with a lot of energy and emotion. that's the way our team goes. we've got up and down the line-up 25 guys who are baseball players that love to compete, and we ride the waves, and that was a high one that started with roberto, a great at-bat. >> it was exciting to watch. when they scored, we came back and scored. you knew it was going to be a good game. >> both teams go deep three times in the game combining to tie the alds record with a tota

let's go live to chicago, sports director tony zarrella. they're done there i guess either way tonight. they're coming home. they might as well bring a trophy home with them, right, tony? >> reporter: i agree with you. i'd lack of to see them wrap it up for multiple reasons. the lineup if they go back to cleveland. get it done. they have trevor bauer on the hill and other moves, terry francona is making tonight, mike naply back at first base and brennan geyer jumps into right field against the lefty jon lester as for lindor, of course, he'll hit third. francisco lindor, in case you haven't looked at the numbers, hitting it .467 in this world series. he's been incredible throughout the playoffs, but especially on baseball's biggest stage. i caught hours ago. now knocking on the door here. the cubs might be surprised. you can put it away tonight. >> we're going to continue to play hard. we're going to go out there tonight and give it our best. they've got a really good team. really good pitcher. and we don't give our best. >> reporter: franky

[ laughing ]. >> reporter: he is becoming a master. when he's not doing that, he is going deep. to stun the chicago cubs in game one.
