Was it Vasgersian or Smoltz? Pagan's having a nice WBC, apparently he's holding out for a 5M MLB contract(per Morisi).

 

I think it was Vasgerian. Pretty dumb either way.

Tony Peña just told me that José Bautista is not in the lineup due to slight back stiffness. http://es.pn/2nznj82

Team USA lineup: Kinsler 2B, Jones CF, Yelich LF, Arenado 3B, Hosmer 1B, McCutchen RF, Crawford SS, Stanton DH, Lucroy C; Duffy SP #2017WBC

 

Hosmer over Goldschmidt in an elimination game!!!

Nice. So instead of being eased back in like normal spring training, old man Joey is hurting for the sake of a tournament that is so prestigious that guys in their 40's can come out of a decade long retirement to play for their countries.

 

I miss Noah Syndergaard not only because of the type of pitcher he is, but even a guy that young is smart enough to see through bull s***. Too bad a lot of other players can't.

Why is Jim Leyland managing this team anyway? I thought this ancient dummy retired already. Knowing him, he probably just doing this solely to troll the "sabermetrics" guys because new things are scary when you're 100.

Unlucky Duffy

What happened where he was unlucky?

[burlingtonbandit]

My god Jose Reyes is terrible.

Is Beltre injured? Indefensible to not have Machado playing SS.

Yeah Beltre is coming back from something. He almost didn't participate.

[burlingtonbandit]

Lucroy's framing has been s***. Not sure if its because he isn't used to the pitchers or not but he has been brutal catching breaking balls.

[Spanky99]

That ball was annihilated!

[Jonn]

Dominican let Santana s*** ball to long. Would love to know the excit velocity on that ball.

[CJ-Freeway]

What happened where he was unlucky?

 

In the first, error by Crawford that led to a couple of runs

[CJ-Freeway]

Lol Stanton destroyed that ball

[GoJays1562]

117 mph and that isn't even his hardest yikes.

[Angrioter]

Ervin Santana is s***

[Stangstag]

They could at least do Machado at 3rd and Segura at SS.

[Stangstag]

Holy f*** that was ridiculous

[thatoneguy]

Holy s*** what a catch. Naturally Jones on Machado.

[burlingtonbandit]

What a catch

[King]

This tournament has been unbelievable. So much fun

[EdwinsParrot]
