Playoffs in Cleveland? Bosio’s been there
- Updated: October 25, 2016
CLEVELAND — Game 1 of the World Series at Progressive Field will have something of a familiar feeling for Cubs pitching coach Chris Bosio. He started Game 5 of the 1995 American League Championship Series in this stadium for the Mariners against the Indians.

“We were just talking about that,” Bosio said before the Cubs’ workout on Monday. “Walking in the clubhouse, I saw David Ross in the hot tub, and he’s like, ‘Man this thing’s hot.’ I said, ‘You’re going to appreciate it tomorrow when it feels like it’s 40 degrees.'”

Temperatures were in the 60s for Games 1, 2 and 6 of the Cubs’ NLCS win against the Dodgers, and they reached the 90s for the three games in Los Angeles.
Tuesday’s forecast for Cleveland calls for a daytime high of 51 degrees with a low of 41.

“You’ll be warmer than you think in the atmosphere,” Bosio said. “The crowd here can get really loud. They’re right on top of you. They’re ferocious.
