3/18 WBC Semi-Final: Cuba vs. DR - 2 PM CT ESPN

[Jon]

Anyone else flipping back and forth?

 

The game is scoreless after 2.

[Shilzzz]

they have this on the tv at work. still scoreless through 5(i think its 5 at least.). it's been a real pitchers duel.

[Jon]

Marti leaves. Great job pitching by him.

[Laura]

The game is scoreless after 2.

 

I am now.

 

I missed the Fuld play in the Cubs game, though. :(

[Jon]

Pujols grounds to third with men on first and third and nobody out. The third baseman gets the guy going home. First and second, one out for the DR now. Still scoreless.

[Jon]

Wow. That was a strike.

 

Nearly a great DP, but the non-strikeout costs Cuba 90 feet.

[Jon]

Wow. Routine grounder to second, he boots it, and then airmails the first baseman on a lollipop throw.

 

But trusty old Alou grounds out weakly to second on the first pitch to end the inning.

 

1-0 DR.

[Shilzzz]

2nd and third no outs for cuba in the top of the 7th... colon still in for dr, nevermind, same hair cut, different pitcher... perez? i guess.

 

one run scores on a fielders choice as the batter grounds out 4-3. runner advances to third. one out.

[Shilzzz]

after a pitching change cuba scored another run while i wasn't looking, making the game 2-1 in favor of the commies. still top of the seventh

[Shilzzz]

hit and run gets cuba runners at first and third still one out

[Shilzzz]

another pitching change for dr. julian tavares in.

[Shilzzz]

some guy on cubas bench has the biggest stache i've ever seen!

 

cuba's #8 is really battling with tavares.

 

a phone call came in here at work, but i'm assuming #8 walked because the bases are loaded, still one out.

[Shilzzz]

Ramirez(#21) for cuba is up vs. tavares

 

sac fly to center, one run scores. 3-1 cuba, runners still at first and second, two outs in the top of the seventh(this half inning has been going on forever).

[Shilzzz]

Perez (#2) for cuba up vs tavarez.

 

force at third, three outs. at the end of 6 1/2 cuba leads dominicana 3-1

[Shilzzz]

i don't know if anyone is paying attention, but i just came back from break. not sure what happened, however dominicana didn't score in their half of the seventh.

 

top of the 8th, cuba has runners at first and second, and dr is taking tavarez out of the game

[Jon]

I wasn't paying close attention just now. But Julian didn't fair too well.

[Shilzzz]

#14 for cuba is up to bat.

 

sac bunt up the third base line, advancing runners to second and third, one away

[BWcubs21]

I really haven't been paying to close attention to the WBC other than the a few US games, but who is in first?

[Shilzzz]

#24 for cuba is up, and is intentionally walked. bases full, one out.

[Shilzzz]

I really haven't been paying to close attention to the WBC other than the a few US games, but who is in first?

 

i'm not sure who is even left. i think korea plays japan later on tonight, though

[Jon]

The two games today are the semi-finals. The winners play each other on Monday for the championship.

[Shilzzz]

#56 is up for cuba.

 

anyone know who the manager is with the mustache for cuba? i want that as my avatar.

 

 

okay, well one call later, i think there was a strike out, then a ground out 5-3. after 7 1/2 its still cuba up 3-1 on dr.

[Shilzzz]

so who do you have winning, mr davis?

 

i really like the way cuba and korea have been playing. that would be a great game

[BWcubs21]

hmmm, interesting. Well I have to say Korea all the way!!!! Were they even predicted to go this far?

[Shilzzz]

99 on the hill for cuba. #2(willie tavarez?) is at bat for dominicana.

 

these battles are brutal. i wish the cubs would stay in there they way these guys are.

 

single to left. one on, no outs.
