Freudian slip?

 

I'm drunk. No excuses here bro!

[THANOS]

 

Ah, that explains it.

[West Texas Forever]

AMURIKA about to bust this game open.

[John_Havok]

I hope Arenado did that on his own because if Leyland called for that bunt he's a f***ing moron

[dineke]

arenado bunting what? lol

[baubau]

The Jays need to give some bats back to Arenado. Has not had a good tourny.

[EdwinsParrot]

arenado having himself an awful wbc

[Stangstag]

arenado bunting what? lol

 

He's struck out like 6 times in a row now. Probably just wanted to be productive and move the runners over.

why is he hitting clean-up then?

[Stangstag]

why is he hitting clean-up then?

 

Broadcasters were saying earlier, its a fine balance between trying to manage the team to win and trying not to screw with players' heads too much before the start of the season. Also, Arenado is the type of player that could have a multi-homerun game any time. Meh.

 

All im saying is it was most definitely Arenado's decision to bunt.

[Daniel Labude]

How many pitches does Stroman get?

[Jonn]

WTF at that Klay Thompson comparison lol

[bowld]

How many pitches does Stroman get?

Believe the max allowed is 80, unless that changes for the final

[THANOS]

How many pitches does Stroman get?

 

95 I think, so he has a good shot at the shutout if he continues this pace.

[P2F]

I know "clutch" is probably not a real thing, but Stroman seemingly really elevates his game at the biggest moments.

[P2F]

Excellent, Berrios is in. This will be a good time to evaluate him for fantasy porpoises.

 

Edit: f*** ME!

[Stangstag]

Im glad Stroman got to redeem himself. Hopefully US can win this and Stroman will immortalized in WBC history.

[Spanky99]

Great job by Stroman... don't be fools.

[Jonn]

He's had zero stress innings. He could easily use the full 95 pitch count. Very happy for Stro.

Do you think Stroman asks to pitch longer than his pitch count if "it" is still going? And I wonder if "old school" Leyland would grant it?

[Abomination]

They're tournament rules.

[THANOS]

They're tournament rules.

 

Ah. So, he's done at 95 max no matter what?

[Spanky99]

No, there's a pitch count.

[Stangstag]

Once he hits 95, he can only finish the at bat and thats it.

[Spanky99]

And the Jays say go f*** your self.

[Spanky99]

Plus MLB teams have instructs to what you can do.

[Jonn]

And the Jays say go f*** your self.

 

Why? I would understand if he was labouring. But he's cruising. They can back him off a bit if necessary in his final spring tuneup.

[Stangstag]

Ugh, so many damn pitching changes. Stroman might have lost his groove now.

[Stangstag]

I was hoping for a game like last night, this is just what you'd expect, really.

 

Stroman looking like a goddamn boss out there helps!

 

Yeah this is probably one of the worst games i've watched in this tournament, entertainment-wise

[Spanky99]

There's a map to every ball player in this tournament, especially pitchers.
