Oct. 29 Corey Kluber, Jason Kipnis postgame interview

Q. I know you know you have to win four. At the same time, can you talk about how you must feel right now? You’re one game away. You’re very close. Three-games-to-one lead, only four teams have not won a series when they’ve had a three-games-to-one lead. Talk about how you’re feeling right now. COREY KLUBER: I think it’s business as usual.

But in retrospect, it wasn’t because they were hitting the ball over the yard or anything.Q. Can you describe what was going through your mind there when you’re rounding the bases and hit a three-run home run in your hometown in a World Series? It’s pretty hard to top something like that. JASON KIPNIS: Probably can’t say the words that were going into my mind. Kids are watching this channel, but it’s just excitement. I had a lot of …
