Through 7, and one runner has gotten past second base.

Did anyone see Iwamura get thrown out at home? Was it close?

Toshiaki Imae replaces third baseman Akinori Iwamura, batting 5th for Japan. He wasn't able to score and he won't be able to continue in this game after being hobbled by the collision at home.

Bottom of the 2nd - Japan Batting

The game's first big play: Tomoya Satozaki swings at the first pitch and singles to right, but Japan fails to score as Iwamura is gunned out at home on a beautiful strike by Jin Young Lee to catcher Sung Cho who did an excellent job of blocking the plate. Korea, and Team USA, dodge a bullet.

 

 

Sounds close!

[Brian]

HAHAHHAHA Ichiro yelling at fans.

[Brian]

YES! THINGS ARE HAPPENING BESIDES OUTS!!

[stitchface]

[BCVM22]

About damn time! Team Japan drops the ball! :lol:

Korea has 2nd and 3rd, 1 out, 2-3-4 due up.

 

so Lee's on 2b, Lee is batting, with Lee on deck. Kim is in the hole and he is followed by Lee. And I'm not kidding.

HAHAHHAHA Ichiro yelling at fans.

 

Really??? ichiro yelling at fans what for?

[Andy]

This may be the only time I ever root for a Korean team, so let's make it count!!!!

[Brian]

HAHAHHAHA Ichiro yelling at fans.

 

Really??? ichiro yelling at fans what for?

 

He tried to make a catch at the wall and jumped into the wall and he didn't make the catch and he blamed fans (think Alou/Bartman but less animated), and it wasn't the fans fault.

[Brian]

Watching that guy being so excited for that hit makes watching this worth it, even though his celebration made him get thrown out at 3rd.
