Both teams had lineup choices to make as the Series shifted to Chicago. While the Cubs went conservative -- correctly so -- in keeping Kyle Schwarber off the diamond with the DH not available to them, the Indians have elected to stick Carlos Santana in left field. The Indians were in the worst possible spot for an AL team, with fixed DH/1B slots in Santana and Mike Napoli. Having enough trouble getting his team to score runs -- 3.4 runs per game in the postseason -- Terry Francona went offense over defense in asking Santana to do that which he's done for four innings in the majors: play left field.
