Also, look at these guys and the fans celebrate. In the first inning.
Meaningless, my ass. This is awesome.

2023 World Baseball Classic
- Thread starter Tokyo Sox
- Start date
Fox moved the US game to Saturday night as they think it will get a bigger audience then, at least one of tonight’s managers were pissed.
I hope you don't think I'm referring to the home run. I was referring to his non-catch in foul territory that I think he might have gotten. RF in Fenway is so big, I worry about him there.
I figured you were referring to the foul ball, but he had to run a loooong way to get there. I didn't think he looked overmatched, and he easily got to that liner in the gap.
I'm not setting out to attack Verdugo, but did he go after the first pitch in both at-bats? OK, if that's working, but maybe he needs to see more pitches.
I so much want to see Hernandez in CF for the Sox. I wish they'd let Yu Chang play SS and put KH back out in the OF.
I see white pants and grey pants. It's easy to tell who's the home and who's the visiting team. And I have a relatively small TV.
Verdugo walks to bring the go-ahead aboard (Mexico down 2 to PR 4-2). Bases loaded, 0 out, Bot 7.
Lol, Verdugo almost made a massively boneheaded move by advancing to third on that single. He could have easily been tagged out before the tying run crossed the plate.
Never change, Alex!

you can’t take that pitch
They must have hired a ton of temp workers for this stadium for this tournament

That 2-1 fastball at the letters after 3 straight breaking balls was an absolute master class in pitching.
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.

OMG, FOX is so bad at this. They had Rosenthal running around trying to find an interpreter to interview Arozarena.
Agreed. There is nothing any hitter could do with that pitch. I had no problem with him taking that one. The one that ended the game on the other hand...
Stroman let Mexico back in the game. It’s not all on him, PR didn’t score again after the 1st, but you gotta hold a 4 run lead.
In fairness, they are in Miami. Must be really hard finding someone who speaks both Spanish and English there.
For a moment I thought this was the first meaningful game Trout has played in his career. Not quite... the Angels were swept out of the ALDS in 2015.
This is the most gruesome start for Team Venezuela. Hits by USA getting past every fielder, even the likes of Altuve. Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!
That garbage slight separation from the bag replay needs to go. It's not in the spirit of the game at all.
I agree with the remarks above about the slight separation of the bag. As for the umpires overruling that play at first, I didn't see the baseman's glove touch the runner.
