The (Last?) World Baseball Classic Game Thread

[We Got The Whole 9]

Javy does that sick tag and throw DP again. So slick.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

The only thing missing is a mega-dong and bat flip.

I was slightly worried that Javy tweaked something during his last AB, but that double play and celebration showed he's just fine.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Nice bunt, Yadi.

[We Got The Whole 9]

I love Benny but the Baez/Russell tandem has a chance to be legendary

[bukie]

I wonder how long the Netherlands waits to use Jansen.

 

EDIT: Not long, apparently.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Is it the uniform or does Jansen look thinner

[Transmogrified Tiger]

lol Balentien lost his mind on a high and inside fastball and benches momentarily cleared, Javy was not impressed

Hmm... it seems like someone should have foreseen this issue.

The solution is obvious, just start the inning with the bases loaded and one out.

Home run derby, 3 players get 5 swings off the bullpen catcher most home runs wins.

 

or you have to take 3 defenders out of the game

I'm sure there's a couple of MLB teams that are pretty stoked these guys are playing in a nice steady rain

the WBC is insanely good

[bcl412]

the WBC is insanely good

 

I would love for it to be something closer to the World Cup of soccer just because some of these games deserve more than half empty stadiums. That and more star players would just add to it. This is the first time I've watched it and I've enjoyed it, something is just missing to keep me from getting completely invested. Hope Mojo is wrong about it being the last one as I really think this could build into something.

[Bote McBoteface]

I like Japan's uniforms a lot. I dont like USA's much at all. Thats my takeaway so far.

[Brian]

woo

[Sammy Sofa]

These games just keep justifying the WBC over and over again. So horsefeathering good.

[Brian]

lol vasgersian thought that was all the way out of the stadium

[Brian]

USA!

 

Alright USA wins it, or the Puerto Rico Javy's. I won't be upset at either scenario.
