What will happen is this: Joe Maddon will come out to the mound. The pitcher will flex his shoulder and wince. Maddon will summon the trainer. The trainer will poke at the shoulder and look very grave. Maddon will declare that the pitcher has strained a muscle and can't continue. The Red Sox will demand a review. Three physicians will be flown in from the Mayo Clinic. At 2:00 a.m., they will declare that the pitcher is fine. The 109 fans left in the park will watch him strike out the next three batters to end the inning and clinch the World Series for the Cubs.
Rob Manfred will announce his resignation as commissioner to become president of Yale, whose former president will have just been fired for the admissions cheating scandal.
