Let’s go USA, USA, USA!

58 commercials in a row and still waiting for the game to start.

How in the hell did Lars Nootbar wind up on team Japan?

How in the hell did Lars Nootbar wind up on team Japan?

His mom’s side. Apparently his grandparents still live in Japan.

I was kind of on the fence about the pitch clock but after watching a few of the games, I’m pro- pitch clock in a big way.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Trea Turner is ridiculous

[CubinNY]

Nothing against Japan, but this game would be way more fun if the we’re playing PR or DR.

 

Turner!

Trea Turner is ridiculous

I wish the Cubs had a better owner.

I wish the Cubs had a better owner.

Turns out $300 million is also what it would take for me to live in Philly.

[Derwood]

This game being relegated to FS1 instead of being on FOX is ridiculous

[CubinNY]

That Japanese dude crushed that ball.

As somebody who has spent a ridiculous amount of time in SE PA for hockey reasons the past two months, I’d settle for $275 million.

I've grown accustomed to it faster than I thought I would.

 

However, watching last night's game, I loved the tension that built up between pitches. With no clock running, the excitement really had a chance to grow. I feel like that's an element to the game as a fan that I'll miss...

 

But probably not, since it will be more noticeable during the playoffs, which won't involve the Cubs.

Long ball

[CubinNY]

Time for a come back

Man that was a bad AB by Trout

The catcher’s gear for Japan looks like it’s from 1973.

[CubinNY]

Let’s go Schwarber.

[NOLA]

Man, this has been great this year.

[Derwood]

I'm so salty that Schwarber isn't a Cub

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Schwarber killed that ball until it died.

I'm so salty that Schwarber isn't a Cub

 

 

In this moment I am both happy and sad.

[PackLandVA]

That was two terrible approaches to ABs by Realmuto and Mullins. You have the fastest guy in baseball on first base with one out as the tying run and the next two hitters swing at first pitches. Seriously???

[UMFan83]

Trout due up 3rd down 1 run in the 9th against Ohtani. Amazing drama
