2023 World Baseball Classic

[derekson]

I feel like the Mexico manager isn't familiar with Duran's defense...

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Ugh, I guess that's also our guy

Do we have to admit it?

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Really thought Duran was going to get picked off there.

 

[derekson]

Really thought Duran was going to get picked off there.

He made up for it with his bad read on the single

 

[Gene Stephen’s Caddy]

Duran needs to steal home and die in Verdugo’s arms

 

[BigSoxFan]

Too slow of a hook, Grady

 

[Tokyo Sox]

Looks like it's Atsuki Yuasa (Hanshin Tigers) coming in to relieve Yamamoto. Throws decent heat, has good movement. Has only thrown 2 innings so far in the tournament.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Little bit of a seeing eye single there.

 

[LogansDad]

Yoshida cannon!!!

 

[Tokyo Sox]

bad send but nice throw by My Left Fielder anyway

 

[moretsyndrome]

The evidence is getting overwhelming that Yoshida is just a very bad man.

 

[BigSoxFan]

BABIP definitely favoring Mexico tonight

 

[Tokyo Sox]

Yamada. Need you buddy.

 

[Gash Prex]

Just an awesome angle on the Yoshida HR

Yamada closing that gap a little!

 

[Tokyo Sox]

Yamakawa on deck to PH for Kai if this bunt gets down successfully. I guess Japan will use all three catchers tonight...

 

[simplicio]

What a wild moment this is.

 

[Ale Xander]

Too early to rename the Pole in Rf at Fenway after Yoshida?

 

[Tokyo Sox]

Big, jolly Yamakawa. Get a hit buddy.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Duran needs to steal home and die in Verdugo’s arms

So that IS our guy! I saw him in the hat the other day and was like what is this?

 

[InstaFace]

Lars Nootbaar coming up in the biggest PA of Japan's tournament!

 

[moretsyndrome]

Big, jolly Yamakawa. Get a hit buddy.

He smoked that. Also an A+ leg kick right there.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Japan keeps hitting stingers right at Arozarena. Damn.

 

[Tokyo Sox]

Lars Nootbaar coming up in the biggest PA of Japan's tournament!

3-1 come on NOOOOT get a hit!

 

[barclay]

This is an absolutely fantastic game to watch

 

[ZMart100]

Yup. I wish we had a Mexico-Japan series. I'd watch 5 or 7 of these games. Not all of the WBC games have been this fun.

 

[LogansDad]

This game is outstanding.

 

[InstaFace]

Some clutch pitching there. That 3-2 to Nootbaar was nasty, and that K pitch to Kondoh was right on the black.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Damn. 0-1 pitch was it.

 

[Tokyo Sox]

Some clutch pitching there. That 3-2 to Nootbaar was nasty, and that K pitch to Kondoh was right on the black.

Damn. 0-1 pitch was it.

Yes and yes.

 

[InstaFace]

Yup. I wish we had a Mexico-Japan series. I'd watch 5 or 7 of these games. Not all of the WBC games have been this fun.

3-game RR during spring training between USA, Mexico, Japan and DR, every year that doesn't have a WBC. Trophy changes hands every year (or doesn't), ceremonially, like a college football rivalry game.

Get it done, Theo.

 

[LogansDad]

Oh, wow, what a catch by the SS!!!

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

This is baseball heaven

 

[Tokyo Sox]

Gotta get Barnes here, cannot turn it over to Arozarena.

 

[Tokyo Sox]

Alright. 3/4/5, all kinds of pop, lets walk this thing off.

 

[simplicio]

Gutsy move by the catcher to receive that standing after dropping 3 in the inning.

 

[Tokyo Sox]

Shohei. That's a good start.

 

[barclay]

Yoshida Walk-off. MAKE MY DAY.

 

[InstaFace]

good god was that effortless. Feels like he can do that whenever he wants.

edit: whenever he gets a hanging splitter, I guess.

 

[BigSoxFan]

LFG!

 

[Tokyo Sox]

Murakami we need you buddy. So so so so so so due to hit one about 520 feet.

 

[BigSoxFan]

JD Drew moment please!

 

[InstaFace]

Is it too soon to say neiner neiner to the rest of baseball?

Germany didn't qualify.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Why did they PR for Yoshida?

 

[BigSoxFan]

Why did they PR for Yoshida?

He’s kind of slow

 

[TimScribble]

Why did they PR for Yoshida?

He’s the winning run and not fleet of foot.

 

[hunter05]

Holy shit what a game

 

[TimScribble]

Why did they PR for Yoshida?

For that exact reason.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Yes!!!!

 

[ngruz25]

What a game.

 

[InstaFace]

WOW incredible game. What a showcase for the sport.

Just crushed for the Mexican team though, they had unbelievable support this whole tournament, their fans were spectacular.
