Quarter Finals Game Day Thread: USA vs. Canada

 


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.

Pitching around Judge.

Should have eaten it. We'll take it.

Yes. 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

DR'S pitching better than this, but nice to see.

Scared 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.

plus this ump sucks and keeps giving Canada the calls.

Good win. Harper's a mess.

US vs DR in FL. Gonna be loud.

Crow-Armstrong said USA will be the "road team for sure"

Doug K. said...

Harper has troubles with the fastball but that ump totally jobbed him both times.

The DR game will be in Miami. Tough crowd for the US

Doug K. said...

Crow-Armstrong is VERY impressive. The Cubs could be tough this year.
