This game 5 talk reminded me on how great the Verducci book is, and especially the analysis of Game 5. The talk about how the Cubs couldn't do anything with all the curveballs, and then for some reason KB got a fastball and donged it and Rizzo got one and doubled and then then Zobrist got a 3-0 count which Cleveland's scouting report noted that "He had seen 413 pitches in his career at 3-and-0 and swung at only 11 of them, only 5 of which he actually put into play. He had not had a hit on a 3-and-0 count since September 27, 2013, more than three years before". Bauer grooved a fastball and Zobrist singled.
