3/16 WBC: U.S. (Clemens) @ Mexico (Perez) 6:30 CT on ESPN

[Monco]

Teixeira 0-15.

[Diffusion]

Perez pitched pretty well although his fastball was at 86mph. He was able to throw in the mid 90s just two years ago.

 

He was able to throw mid 90s last year!

[Fro]

Has there been a successful sacrifice bunt executed by any team in this tounament? I swear, every game I've watched, the sac bunt has failed every time it has been tried.

 

I've seen Japan, Korea, and Cuba all do it quite successfully on a regular basis.

[Monco]

AM I WATCHING DA COBS???

 

1 run 3 hits and an 8 pitch inning,seems like it.

[Blueheart05]

Wow. The US is lucky to get this far.

 

If life was fair the US would have already been eliminated with losses to Korea and Japan. Instead, team Japan is holding its collective breath hoping Mexico wins this game.

I don't want to see Bud Selig for 20 minutes, I want to see the game

I don't want to see Bud Selig for 20 minutes, I want to see the game

 

I want to see Barrett go to the mound again!

[Monco]

I don't want to see Bud Selig for 20 minutes, I want to see the game

Hes gonna go talk to Bob Davison about getting us a couple of runs.

[UMFan83]

I don't want to see Bud Selig for 20 minutes, I want to see the game

 

I want to see Barrett go to the mound again!

 

He's just trying to get his face time since hes not getting it at the plate

At this rate it just might happen.

[Brian]

this is dustyball at it's best (worst).

[UMFan83]

3 more outs until we have to hear a week of why the US disapointed in the WBC

[BCVM22]

A week? We'll be lucky if that's all we get.

[Brian]

Griffey

Jones

Rodriguez

 

That's about as good as it gets for this team I'd say.

 

Hopefully Teixeira doesn't come up with an opportunity to win or lose it.

[Blueheart05]

Griffey Jr goes down swinging. 1 down

[Transmogrified Tiger]

PINCH RUN

[Blueheart05]

Chipper takes a walk

 

Ayala is coming in to face ARod

[OleMissCub]

I never ever thought i'd be pulling for A-Rod...but c'mon baby

[Transmogrified Tiger]

WHY IS CHIPPER STILL AT FIRST BASE?

[Omar]

Is Lee available to pinch hit/run?

[Blueheart05]

This better not end on a DP

[Omar]

A-Rod walks. 1st and 2nd with 1 out.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

You're pinch running for A-ROD? What is wrong with you Martinez? Are you that paranoid of the order coming back around to the pitcher's spot in the 11th inning?

[Omar]

This better not end on a DP

 

Those things to end of the game just are plain heart-breaking.

[Blueheart05]

Is Lee available to pinch hit/run?

 

 

He can't do any vigorous activity for 48 hours.
