It is very rare in sports that a team gets a second chance to redeem themselves after losing big due to hubris. Tonight the US team gets that chance. Hopefully they've learned their lesson.
As an aside, the Dominican team has an amazing lineup.
Tatis Jr.
Marte
Soto
Guerrero Jr.
Machado
Caminero
Rodriguez
Ramirez
Back up catcher is the famous Dominican, Austin Wells (Don't ask).

Update: DR advances 10-0 in seven. (Mercy Rule) on a walk off HR by... wait for it... Austin Wells.
Bah, humbug...I'm going to mope in the corner.
ReplyDeletePitching around Judge.
ReplyDeleteShould have eaten it. We'll take it.
ReplyDeleteYes. I noticed that the US team is kind of on the old side. That said, Canada just got out of the jam using a pitcher from AA
DeleteDR'S pitching better than this, but nice to see.
ReplyDeleteUh oh
ReplyDeleteOur guy Bednar...
ReplyDeleteBednar came up big…

ReplyDeleteScared me at first. Don't want Yankees responsible for blowing it. But he did just fine in the end. I only hope he didn't throw too many pitches. Still the kind of game they could lose. Missed a few HR's that went foul. That kind of thing.
ReplyDeleteplus this ump sucks and keeps giving Canada the calls.
ReplyDelete3 more outs…
ReplyDeleteWe advance…
ReplyDeleteGood win. Harper's a mess.
ReplyDeleteUS vs DR in FL. Gonna be loud.
ReplyDeleteCrow-Armstrong said USA will be the "road team for sure"
ReplyDeleteHarper has troubles with the fastball but that ump totally jobbed him both times.
ReplyDeleteThe DR game will be in Miami. Tough crowd for the US
Crow-Armstrong is VERY impressive. The Cubs could be tough this year.
