The baserunning by The Netherlands ends up costing them dearly. That really should be the story here. Never should have went to extras in the first place.

[FrozenRopes]

This was not baseball, this was a manufactured mockery of the game I love. They should be ashamed of this ending.

[FrozenRopes]

Think about the game extending, causing the manager to have to manage better and then also thinking about using arms in the final etc.

[LGBJ29]

Maybe because I've lived through real change in baseball that I can understand it better. You young guys that talk about changing the game...it's just that talk. All the sarcasm heard about this rule was heard for 3 on 3 hockey...and probably every rule change ever. Change is okay guys!

 

nah 3 on 3 was welcomed by many actually. There was some resistance but it was generally welcomed because it was going to mean less shootouts. The shootout is a rule change that has turned into an absolute travesty to the game. An prime example that change is not always good change.

[Brownie19]

This lineup by Leyland has to be one of the worst I've ever seen.

 

Stanton hit 8th? Adam Jones 2nd? Eric Hosmer in it? (I know he's hot but over Goldy?). I hope they lose.

[Spanky99]

DH12/Gary^^^ Wow!

[Brownie19]

FFS Matt Vasergian...guess I'll watch the rest of the game on mute.

[Brownie19]

Goldy's rocking the 40th best wRC+ of ALL-TIME...Leyland starts Eric f***ing Hosmer over him

Normally i'd be upset, but you can't really argue with the results

[Orgfiller]

"He's the Japanese answer to Javy Baez", Matt Vasgersian must be stopped.

[KingKat]

This seems like quite a bit of rain to be playing through.

Trying to make the game official?

[HERPDERP]

4 innings and its been an hour and a half

[Spanky99]

There's puddles forming, lol.

[Spanky99]

Yeah, I would think so Smoltzy. That field's in rough shape.

[Spanky99]

Vasgersian, lol. Hit n Run, bro.

[HERPDERP]

Glad to know I'm not the only one who thought this guy was Tanaka

 

Same delivery, same face, same kind of results

His delivery is more like Maeda I believe.

[HERPDERP]

damn how have I only heard of Nate Jones until now? 4 seasons with the White Sox with +10 K/9 each year

[burlingtonbandit]

Miller's Velo down this spring and hasn't looked good at all.

lol... there's an obvious answer in here.

[Spanky99]

Tito wore him out, plus he hasn't much work this spring. Cleveland needs to ease him in this year... they've improved their pen, so it shouldn't be hard.

[Orgfiller]

Love what the current pitcher for Japan is doing.

[Jonn]

Love what the current pitcher for Japan is doing.

 

Unfortunately he ran out of juice.

[Laika]

Neshek in for Melancon? Awful managing. Hopefully it screws them over.

[burlingtonbandit]

Buck'd

[Jonn]

Man I don't know how you pin that on him.

 

Well he gave up 2 bullets. Play at third needs to be made. But hard contact was made. The Kinsler double is a dinger in most yards.

[Orgfiller]

Neshek in for Melancon? Awful managing. Hopefully it screws them over.

 

Also really surprised Leyland went away from PROVEN CLOSER Melancon to Neshek. Almost bit them in the ass.

[Jonn]

Hosmer has shut up a lot of people in this tourney.
