3/15 WBC: Korea (Kim) vs Japan (Watanabe) 9pm CT

[Andy]

1 out...

[stitchface]

Ugh. Korea vs. Japan should not feel like a Cubs game.

 

haha - I thought the same thing.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

If they score, it better be a game 6 NLCS 8th inning style output of 8 runs.

 

the most they can end up with is 5 . . .

 

6 actually, but it's not enough either way.

[Brian]

I wonder if Asia has the concept of a closer?

 

I think they said that the guy in the bullpen was a top closer last season.

I think the fact that it does feel like a Cubs game is what makes this WBC so great.

[UMFan83]

Everybody stand!

[stitchface]

if the gun is right, I have no idea how this guy gets people out. 89 mph fastball and 83 mph change?

[Brian]

that was freaking scary

Greg Maddux syndrome?

 

Of course if that is true, watch out if he misses his spots...

[Brian]

[WindyCity]

Yes!

[Andy]

STRIKE THREE AND THAT'S THE GAME!

 

You know what to do now, Rocket, so get out there and do it!

[UMFan83]

Is there some scenario that if we lose to Mexico, we still get in? Like runs tie breakers or something?
