    2023 World Baseball Classic

    I feel like you're thinking of Brad Lidge for some reason. I seem to recall him ending a series or maybe a game on a nasty yakker. This was probably the pre-Albert Pujols soul crushing bomb. He did strike out Eric Hinske (!) to clinch the World Series for the Phillies over the Rays in 2008.

    This is the coolest 9th inning imaginable.

    This feels like the inning for something to happen.

    The umpiring in the WBC has been really bad.

    Lol Verdugo celebrating out of the box. He's such a doofus, you've gotta love it.

    2023 World Baseball Classic

    The more I see of Yoshida, the more I'm puzzled about the apparent lack of interest in him as a FA. I don't understand why I heard so much about Seiya Suzuki and so little (nothing at all!) about Yoshida before the Sox signed him.

    I kinda thought Roenis Elias was going to be a sneaky good pickup in the Wade Miley trade. He was not.

    2023 World Baseball Classic

    I looked up that Bracho guy that blew the game for Venezuela on B-Ref, and interestingly his profile picture is with a Red Sox cap. Apparently he pitched in 18 games last season for Worcester. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/brachsi01.shtml

    2023 World Baseball Classic

    Celebration seemed a bit muted... Puerto Rico didn't get too much out of Kike this tournament. I think whatever is left from his 2021 postseason pixie dust has officially worn off.

    Edwin Diaz out for the season

    Of course he was hurt doing something relatively routine, but did ramping up his body to go full-bore in early March create the circumstances that lead to the injury? I have no earthly idea as to the answer to that question, but I think it's what MLB teams will be concerned about.

    2023 World Baseball Classic

    I believe you either have to be born in the country, have a parent born in the country, or have a reasonable chance at being granted citizenship if you applied for it (and you don't have to have actually applied). The latter category is why you see a bunch of Americans on the Italian and...

    2023 World Baseball Classic

    Vance Worley and Adam Wainwright throwing 87 mph slop in plain white and gray uniforms is as stark a contrast as imaginable to the electric atmosphere and play in the DR-Venezuela game.
