Paul Hoynes reports the news on Friday Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona will go with right handed pitcher Trevor Bauer to start Game Five Of the 2016 World Series versus the Chicago Cubs on Sunday October 30, 2016 at Wrigley Field in Chicago Illinois. Bauer was the losing pitcher in Game Two of the Fall Classic on Wednesday October 26, 2016 at Progessive Field pitching in 3/ 2/3 innings giving up two runs in the Cubs 5-1 win over the Indians. To put it mildly, Indians fans are upset that Francona has decided to go with Bauer if the Cubs win the next two games at home to take a commanding 3-1 series lead over the Indians. But then again it depends on who wins the next two games of the 2016 World Series to determine if Bauer has a chance to pitch the series clincher or be the starting pitcher to save his team from having the season end or the other scenario is be the starting pitcher in a game to decide which team will have a three games to two edge. In my view Francona believes that Bauer had an off night in Cleveland in his latest start and will rebound in Game Five of the World Series.
