Box Score 10/26: Miller, Florence, LeBron and Crosby

A late good morning to you and welcome to the YB Box Score, what we're reading while we wait for Game 2. Don't forget campers, the start time was moved up an hour to 7pm ET/4pm PT to avoid rain.

• Over at ESPN, there is a debate if David Ross doesn't know who "THIS GUY" Corey Kluber was last night during the World Series. Is it possible that ESPN has forgotten THIS GUY is the highest paid talent at ESPN and is famous for putting THIS GUY into the sports lexicon every Monday night and it could be an homage? [ESPN]
• Diana Moskovitz makes an compelling argument about how 'zero tolerance' stances in sports makes it harder for domestic violence victims to come forward. [Deadspin] 
• The WTA has announced its move into the digital space to expand its coverage of women's tennis. [Excelle Sports]  
• We're just going to watch John John Florence videos all day to celebrate his World Surf League title. [World Surf League]

"Watching Harden play, it looks like he is more concerned with getting the foul rather then getting a clean look at a shot. But after averaging 10 foul shots and 27 points per game since 2013, it is hard to argue with the results." - 10 signature NBA moves to watch for this season

"Andrew Miller is turning in a virtuoso performance for the ages, which has pundits questioning how a bullpen should be aligned going forward. Behind him, Bryan Shaw and Cody Allen have been strikeout producing machines themselves. The late game trio has pitched 25 innings, while striking out 38 and allowing three runs total. Get the game into their hands, and it has had a predictably good outcome for Cleveland." - 2016 World Series: The tale of the tape between Indians, Cubs

"The Cavs might even survive a natural disaster at this point. Teams like Toronto and Boston might entertain the idea that they can compete against Cleveland in the East. The Raptors won two games against the Cavs in last year's Eastern Conference Finals (but feel free to look up the overall point differential in that series). The Celtics are on the rise especially with the acquisition of Al Horford." -  Barring natural disaster what keeps the Cleveland Cavaliers from repeating in 2017?

"We are going to start with Cleveland because Cleveland is currently on top of the world. The king of Cleveland, LeBron James, posted this photo to his Instagram, which highlights himself as Prince, Kevin Love as Jackie Moon (Will Ferrell's character in the movie Semi-Pro), Matthew Dellavedova as a doctor and J.R. Smith as an unnamed baby. We can guess that Smith wanted to be a baby for Halloween because babies aren't required to wear shirts, but that is only an educated guess." - 30 athletes (and friends) who've done Halloween costumes right
