Schwarber 3-0 turd of an at bat was the killer so far

[Spanky99]

States keep blowing their chances.

[Spanky99]

So it's Darvish and Ohtani next. Welp...

[BigCecil]

Trout FO. This is the chance for the USA.

[Spanky99]

Can't overturn that.

[BigCecil]

Darvish 4th highest career K/9. Kyle got him on the 10th pitch. What a f***ing at bat.

[Spanky99]

What a beast!!!

[Stangstag]

That was the most predictable homerun ever lol. Atrocious pitching there by Darvish

[Stangstag]

Darvish 4th highest career K/9. Kyle got him on the 10th pitch. What a f***ing at bat.

 

You could definitely see it coming, Schwarbs just missed on the previous 4 fouls

Ya he was on everything he had thrown those last few that you knew it was coming

[Spanky99]

You got to give Schwarber credit, that was a hell of an at bat, locked in.

Ohtani going to pitch to Trout in the 9th.

[Spanky99]

Ohtani going to pitch to Trout in the 9th.

 

Noice.

[Stangstag]

Hoping for a Trout homer to tie it, and some Nootbar or Shohei dramatics in the bottom of the 9th to win it

[Spanky99]

Great AB McNeil... this is exciting.

[G-Snarls]

Wow that ball 4 was close.....

[Spanky99]

Boooooo... Betts!

[G-Snarls]

Betts GIDP

 

Ouch

[G-Snarls]

Wow now Trout vs Ohtani

[G-Snarls]

Ohtani K's Trout for the W

 

Damn!

[Stangstag]

Damn what a storybook finish

[Spanky99]

Great game, great tournament. Now 8 days to Opening Day.

[G-Snarls]

Congratulations Japan

[Grant77]

Excellent tournament and excellent result. Good job Japan.

[Jays24]

That was an amazing Tournament. Wasn't expecting it to play out like this but excited for what it means going forward.

[Brownie19]

You couldn't write up a more captivating script. That 3-2 slider was disgusting.

 

Japan is such an incredible baseball nation. I'm really happy for them. Unreal talent and passion.

[BigCecil]

Man that was something. Stomach was churning watching Trout vs Ohtani. Incredible. Here it is..hit it. Got 2 fastballs and a slider whiff. Congratulations to Japan. Great tourney. Spring training can’t end soon enough.

[Brownie19]

Damn what a storybook finish

 

How can you not be romantic about baseball!

[Jayzfan79]

Next WBC they should look at extending all star break and doing the WBC mid season instead of the all-star game / festivities. You would get players in midseason form and most likely the top pitchers.

[Blastttoff]

Got a bit of a heart attack when Ohtani and his teammates were jumping around celebrating
