Obviously a bad call.
But let's say the ump makes the correct call. The DR doesn't win the game. Just means they have men on the corners with Tatis up to bat. Has Tatis been their best hitter in the WBC - sure. And he's a top-notch MLB hitter every year. But he's still got a less than 50% chance of getting a hit. And he's also facing an elite reliever. So I would still say the odds are he does not tie/win the game.
DR fans, and many/most baseball fans in general would've preferred that AB to happen. But a lot of people (not here) make it seem like the victory was stolen from the DR when that's just not the case. And they had multiple opportunities and didn't capitalize.
Posting random photos of players from the practice fields. I’m assuming just about all of the players I’m seeing are minor leaguers.
interestingly to watch them do some drills like running leads from second, outfield ball location, etc.
So pitchers and catchers report in less than a week. And then the position players a few days after that. I've lived in southern AZ for the past 6+ years but have not had the opportunity to go to Mesa to see the Cubs practice (before the spring schedule begins). I am going to make a concerted effort to drive up once or twice before their first game and go to the practice fields.
Anyone ever watch them practice? Tips?
