I mean we're only the best hitting team in baseball, but yeah.

Spoiler

Don't even say it.

Eh Rockies have always usually had decent to good bats. Hasn't meant a lick. Organization is a bit of a joke anyways

 

[jello44]

Yelich mah boi

 

[Relix]

Man they needed to take out Lugo an inning ago

 

[Goose_Se7en]

The PR vs DR thing is so 90's. I'm surprised it's even still a thing when half the Ricans and Dominicans in the states are fucking each other and creating little DominiRicans.

Oh for sure. Never did understand that tension as a kid from Puerto Rican parents.

And not taking out Lugo just cost Rodriguez the WBC title

 

[Marquis]

Not looking good Boricua.

 

[Choomp]

Time for Lugo to go back to spring training

Kinsler bores his way to another run!

 

[Malo]

PR manager just had a Grady Little moment.

 

[Windu]

/cheer

 

[Marquis]

Hold them to 3-0 and we will be fine.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Awesome hit. No clue why the runners didn't advance on the bad throw. Need to keep the pressure on because I don't see PR ending up scoreless.

 

[NYCrooner]

Hold them to 3-0 and we will be fine.

That's what I'm holding on to. Contain them and we can still scrap together some runs. Not ready to call it a game.0

 

[Marquis]

Hell no. Not with our offensive. We will come alive eventually.

 

[Quixzlizx]

Arenado can't even bunt correctly.

 

[carlos]

PR manager just had a Grady Little moment.

Agreed, but meh, I'd be surprised if PR could get even a couple of runs unless Leyland screws up bullpen management.

Like I said yesterday, good thing PR celebrated a lot after the Netherlands game.

 

[jello44]

GG Arenado, bunt the ball towards the pitcher!

 

[Tubie]

Hell no. Not with our offensive. We will come alive eventually.

They spent almost 9 innings dead against Netherlands. I think US pitching is good enough to keep them down to 0 or close to it.

 

[jello44]

Lindor is ridiculous.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Might be game there. Try again in 4 years, maybe.

 

[clav]

Game's not over until it's over.

 

[Omega Kirby]

Two consecutive WBC finals loss for puerto rico incoming?

 

[carlos]

Nah, we will either be a state in 4 years and not have a team or be so poor that PR baseball will be non existent. Only partially joking.

 

[Relix]

Aw fuck. Good tourney PR .


Well benefits of American citizenship.... We win anyway!

 

[sf2fanatic]

Arenado can't even bunt correctly.

His bunts are usually gappers in the outfield

 

[Marquis]

you guys giving up way too early.

 

[carlos]

Two consecutive WBC finals loss for puerto rico incoming?

26 years of watching Atlanta braves baseball have prepared me well for these kind of losses.

 

[Loco4Coco]

I gotta head to bed. Hopefully when I wake up Puerto Rico won the game on a Kinsler error.

 

[Line_HTX]

Best vacation spot?

;P

 

[Line_HTX]

Beltran can't run at that speed anymore.

 

[clav]

Slow legs Beltran.

edit: 3 tough throws by Crawford. So easy to mess that up.

 

[Marquis]

If anything is going to happen for PR, it's going to happen in the seventh.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Best vacation spot?

;P

Shinning Stars send you a time share package?


*prRog ultra Line*

 

[clav]

Berrios probably should have started tonight.

Don't know why manager didn't want to take a chance on him.

I think this year will be his breakout year.

 

[NervousXtian]

That Berrios guy has some NASTY stuff... straight NASTY... that strike 3 on Kinsler was some Winnie the Pooh Baseball kinda stuff.

 

[Quixzlizx]

At least he broke his strikeout streak.

 

[clav]

Yeah. Dude. Some sick curves.

Weird thing last season was he tore up the minors, but when he pitched in the majors, he gave up a lot of HRs.

 

[Marquis]

Sad to know that this game is going to end on 4-0. PR bats have been asleep since the first strike of the game. Very upsetting to make it this far again and then to perform like a completely different team.

 

[clemenx]

Stroman gonna throw a Maddux no-hitter lol

 

[NervousXtian]

Yeah. Dude. Some sick curves.

Weird thing last season was he tore up the minors, but when he pitched in the majors, he gave up a lot of HRs.

It's got to be mental then.. there's a lot of pressure in the big leagues that you don't have in the minors. It's such a huge stage with huge parks and lots of fans. Also better facilities, better hotels, better everything... with that kind of stuff though.. I think he has a bright future.


Stroman holding down the no-no... wow.. his groundball game is on.

 

[C4Lukins]

This is fun.

I wish they could make a real thing out of this where the best of each country competed.

Despite that three is a ton of talent involved, but it is not the best against the best, and it is taking place during MLB preseason, the NCAA tournament, and during the race to the NHL and NBA playoffs in the USA. If you check it out on espn.com as to where to watch it, they say ESPN Deportes. Nobody in the US gives a shit and it is a shame.

It's harder to care when Harper, Trout, Kershaw, Syndergaard, Bumgarner, etc. all aren't playing.

 

[NervousXtian]

I think you might see more guys play in 4 years if the USA wins. I think it's fun.

A lot of these squads are really good though and stacked.

 

[Tubie]

Arenado finally hits something.

 

[Lunar FC]

 

[NervousXtian]

Shit.. he took that right on the elbow... tough motherfucker right there... showed no signs of pain.

Also.. Molina was in pain from that foul tip.. bet it broke something.

Breaking down with that unintentional wild pitch.

Yeah he did this a lot, too.

Guy is really talented. Once in a while he just throws something really silly.

The 2013 DR team and the current US team were/are both superior in terms of talent. No shame in losing to either.

Also, game isn't over yet.

That's the nature of baseball. It's why they need a 162-game season to determine the best teams. These single-elimination tournaments are antithetical to the very nature of the sport. Every team has games where they just don't hit the ball. It's why great baseball teams still lose 60 games a year.

 

[dickroach]

full count, 2 outs, bases loaded in a 4-0 game!! holy shit this is epic!!

...oh

 

[Choomp]

Yeah! Good shit, looks like they're having fun out there
