    That was a nice play by Chipper. That was a lot closer than I thought it would be.

    You think so? I think it's been pretty sloppy and uninspiring, like a AAA all star game or something. Close and interesting, yes, but good? It may not be the tightest game, but Panama is a pretty significant underdog and it's been nothing but back and forth in the late innings. They're finding new ways to hurt themselves.

    Shoulda started DLee at 1st. :oops: I'm sure Lee's groin and leg muscles could use a break after the terrible throws he had to dig out yesterday. He got a workout.

    Yup. And quite painful ones, too. I love the WBC. I don't really care about seeing the US team since I can see those players all the time (except the Cubs players, of course. I love watching them play), but to see teams like Japan, Korea, Cuba, etc., that's fun.

    Back-to-back triples for Canada.
  6. Jon
    Man. This is a good game.

    And lee goes down swinging on a fastball up and over the outside corner. Wow. A first pitch HBP to tie it up. #6 of the game.
  8. Jon
    Piggy, Coats, and Sing in.
  9. Jon
    Panama is really fighting to stay alive. 1-run ballgame.
  10. Jon
    First pitch, too.
  11. Jon
    Lee walks on a 3-1 pitch. Bases loaded with one out for Chipper Jones.
  12. Jon
    Nice bunt, bad defense.
  13. Jon
    Very nice DP turned by the Cuban second baseman.
  14. Jon
    That's a loooong sac fly off a hanging slider to tie it up.
  15. Jon
    Go Cubs!
  16. Jon
    Looks like it went well:
  17. Jon
    Pie with an outfield assist!
  18. Jon
    Buck Martinez denied that request.

    Z wasn't overthrowing like he can. His fastballs were about what you want (93-97) and for the most part, his 2-seamer had pretty decent movement. There weren't that many 98+ fastballs. The problem is that because of the strike zone, he couldn't throw his 2-seamer for strikes and had to rely on the the heat and slider. His slider just wasn't that consistent and Alou and Beltre took each took advantage of hangers. But you wouldn't expect his breaking stuff to be there at this point in the spring. The results sucked, but I think he pitched just fine. I look forward to seeing what he does when he starts instead of coming out of the 'pen.

    Rest hit the HR to make it 4-3.

    i posted your box score in the DR/VZLA thread Thanks! Only 10k in attendance? Wow. As Damon pops out. It was played in a small park and SROs were sold out. I'd imagine it was by far the most popular WBC game in the first round. There we go, Lee!
  22. Jon
    You'd certainly want him to throw more than 23 pitches.
  23. Jon
    Thanks, Bruce.
  24. Jon
    That has really got to hurt. Tempers starting to flare a bit. Put Z back in there.
  25. Jon
    Wow. What are the odds of that happening?
