so what just happened... I don't have access to the game and have just been watching gameday... all I saw was caught stealing, and a bit later another caught stealing ;

CS - catcher unassisted

Yes.

 

[BigJonsson]

Haha the seagulls are going to feast

 

[Blearth]

The seagulls!

The season is soooooo close!

 

[The Frankman]

That dude is going to have to commit suicide when he gets back to Japan.

[Blearth]

Ball was fair as fuck.

 

[The Frankman]

oh that didn't hit him at all! WTF?

 

[Prade]

Fuck you ump.

 

[The Frankman]

effing Japan, what happened to having honor? He should've admitted that he struck out and walked back to the dugout.

 

[Windu]

USA is going to the finals!

 

[cashman]

Congrats Puerto Rico!!!

 

[BigJonsson]

Great, we are probably going to get PR vs DR yet again this WBC lol

 

[Zep]

Puerto Americans!

 

[weekend_warrior]

You have brought great shame onto Japan.

 

[Blearth]

Sad to see an all Carribean final, but happy that I get to cheer for Pagan on Tuesday.

 

[eznark]

All Caribbean final might just be the thing that strangles this tournament in it's cradle.

 

[Zep]

Now watch the DR lay an egg later today

 

[Blearth]

How many players on the Dutch roster are not from the Antilles?

 

[vas_a_morir]

USA
USA
USA

 

[cashman]

How many players on the Dutch roster are not from the Antilles?

I think like 1 or 2 at most.

And why is that? Dominican Winter ball is awesome, and the chance to play in a major venue in the US will showcase a ton of talent.

 

[Relix]

Well fuck....

*gets drunk*

 

[CygnusXS]

Guys, Volquez is starting for DR tomorrow. I wouldn't write them into the finals just yet.

 

[Blearth]

I think like 1 or 2 at most.

All Carribean series confirmed.

 

[Carlbeego]

Puerto Rican chick twerkin' on mlbnetwork was nice.

Gonna need a gif, sir. It'll pop up somewhere, I'm sure.

 

[Malo]

I was hoping for for a Japan vs D.R. final, but oh well, congrats to Puerto Rico.

Hopefully we get some revenge against the Netherlands later tonight, but Volquez might try his hardest to stop that from happening.

 

[El_Chino]

Now who would've thought at the beginning of the WBC Puerto Rico would be mentioned as a finalist?

I thought Volquez got pulled at the behest of the Reds organization... did they end up letting him play?

Volquez......does not play for the Reds.

 

[Malo]

While not a powerhouse like Japan, D.R., or lol USA, it's not surprising to have them in the finals. They're a good team.

Are you high, brah?

 

[El_Chino]

I respect Japan SO MUCH for doing this. A proper form of sportsmanship

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I wish Sony would put a fucking demo of The Show up on PSN. The hitting turned me off of the old games, but I've read it's much improved.

I've always wished for a WBC game since 2006!

That was pretty awesome of Japan actually.

 

[Blearth]

I made the exact same mistake he did.

I need some sleep. -_-

holy shit. lol.

I was thinking of Cueto. Sometimes I have flashbacks to dark times in my life, and I forget that I have moved on.

There was a time, though, where he had Cy-Young stuff.

[Dmncnby2k9]

LF: Valdespin
CF: Cogwhill/Den Dekker
RF: Byrd

You need a CF that can cover the OF, and Den Dekker is going to be a Gold Glover. Have you seen his amazing D in Spring Training alone?

im totally fine with this too. Im glad u agree with Byrd and Valdespin though.

And Congrats to PR. if DR makes it tomorrow, that will be a huge gm in both countries.

 

[yankeehater]

Something Ryan Braun will never have, other than his tainted statistical achievements.



Another accomplishment



2006 Rookie of the Year too.



HR Derby Champion

He also has the NL Record for Most Homeruns in a single season by a player who has not been linked to steroids or HGH. Braun couldn't touch that shit, and he's on the juice.

58 Homeruns. Only Roger Maris has more.

I'm changing my avatar this season to Ryan Howard. He will return to form. The Phillies will prevail.

And why is that? Dominican Winter ball is awesome, and the chance to play in a major venue in the US will showcase a ton of talent.

Combined population of 13 million (roughly equivalent to Tokyo), geographically isolated and effectively adjacent, globally irrelevant.

It's like a Kansas City - Milwaukee World Series. Sure the immediately affected fan bases are hyper-charged and super passionate but no one else gives a fuck.

Cuban pitcher Yadier Pedroso Gonzalez was killed in a car accident in Cuba, according to the director of sports for the territory of Artemisa, Cuba (via Caribbean Journal).

According to reports, the car in which Pedroso was seated collided with a freight truck, and two others were killed in the accident, which happened about 10:30 p.m. local time Saturday.

Pedroso, 26, was one of the best pitchers in Cuba and just took part in the World Baseball Classic. Per Baseball-Reference.com, Pedroso's best season was 2008-09, when he went 9-3 with a 1.91 ERA.He was 76-45 with a 3.15 ERA in his career and competed in 10 international competitions.

Pedroso appeared in two games in the 2013 World Baseball Classic, allowing four hits and an earned run in 1 2/3 innings of action.

damn

I've been starting to see more and more commercials for the Jackie Robinson film. Looks absolutely terrible. Hopefully this is just a case of poor adverts.

It's the same crew that brought you the not totally cheesy Ernie Davis movie.

Same actor's playing Ernie Davis and Jackie Robinson as well. There's a joke about this somewhere...

 

[eznark]

I can't get past his voice. Robinson sounded like Tyson, not like Batman.
