3/13 WBC: Venzuela (Z!) vs. Puerto Rico (Pineiro) 8EST ESPN

[ToupeeOnFire]

1-2-3 inning for Baez. So, does this guy have a future?

[EricG]

Is Z in line for the win?

[Jon]

2-6-5 DP...and an odd one, at that.

 

nice tag by cabrera.

It was.

 

Baez manages to pitch a 1-2-3 inning despite being hit hard.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Is Z in line for the win?

 

Yep. Though I think Puerto Rico got hosed on that play on Valentin.

[stitchface]

Is Z in line for the win?

 

not if you have to pitch 5 innings.

Oops, I forgot about that. I always thought that was a stupid rule.

[stitchface]

the rules on wins are just plain stupid in every aspect.

[Jon]

1-2-3 inning for Baez. So, does this guy have a future?

Not really, I don't think. None of his numbers have been that impressive at any level.

 

With the pitch counts, I'm guessing that the rule regarding wins is the same as a spring training game. They probably don't have to get to a certain number of IP to qualify.

GRAND SLAM Victor Martinez

 

6-0 Venezuala in the 8th

[ToupeeOnFire]

Good night Puerto Rico.

[Jon]

A monster grand slam by Victor Martinez and Venezuela goes up 6-0. Looks like we'll have four 1-1 teams going into tomorrow.

 

Z looked awesome in that black shirt.

[Jon]

Z gets the win as Venezuela beats Puerto Rico 6-0 to hand the home team their first loss of the WBC.

 

Should be a real good day of baseball tomorrow (bad for studying). Puerto Rico plays Cuba and Venezuela plays the Dominican Republic. The winners of each game advance while the losers are done.
