Keider Montero? lol

 

Aged as expected.

Venezuela has the position players but not the arms. Some good short RP but the length is suspect! 

If Nola shoves it might not be close 

[Spanky__99]

Suarez finally bro!

[hanton]

Tovar made that look so easy

[Spanky__99]

This game is flying by.

Good point 

Next time the finals should be somewhere else 

Manfred can whine about the travel but he's sent MLB teams to f***ing Japan for regular season games before has he not

Good point.

[hanton]

Gimenez 

[hanton]

WBC doesn't really work for bench players, missing out on alot of reps

[Spanky__99]

Was just a matter of time.

[Jonn]

Oh thank god Venzuela please save us from a joke of a final.

[hanton]

Andrew Fischer is 21 years old and other than a few ST games with the Brewers he hasn't played a game above advanced A ball

[bronson44]

That Machado guy pitches in Japan? That's a major league arm.

[Spanky__99]

GG

[Jonn]

Goodnight Cinderella.

[Brownie19]

Incredible game.  Rosey saying it was as good of an atmosphere as he's ever experienced.  That's crazy (and likely an exaggeration).

Why the f*ck is the finals tomorrow, putting Venezuela at a huge disadvantage.  Some of their top bullpen arms won't be available.  They should at least get 1 day off for both teams.

[Brownie19]

Man - this tournament is really incredible baseball.  I hope we one day get best on best. 

I just love the passion these teams show.  It means so much to them.  It's now baseball was meant to be played.

[philly30]

Disappointing or I should say deludente 

[Stangstag]

Venezuela probably has the best shot at beating USA tomorrow. Really a shame we couldn’t get a DR/Venezuela final as the noise would’ve been absolutely insane.

USA probably has the edge here with the extra day of rest and pen full of elite arms.

Gotta think Hoffman gets into this game at some point

Fake team... USA 2.0

Nah USA 3.0, Isreal is 100% USA players, they're 2.0... Italy has 3 Italians, 2 Venezuelan and 1 Canadian. lol

Hoffman only pitches if there's a blow out. lol

His last real game was a blown save in Game 7 of the World Series, no way he's used in a close game.

"Ryan Braun is a f---ing steroid user. He gets a standing ovation on Opening Day in Milwaukee. How do you explain that to your kid after throwing people under the bus and lying through his f---ing teeth?"

[Brownie19]

Goose Gossage is a f*cking piece of s***.  F*ck that guy.

Growing up I liked admired the Goose, till I got a bit older and heard him talk.

[G-Snarls]

Big spot for rookie Nolan McLean after Skubal dips 

[Jonn]

Expecting the umpiring to be atrocious again. But would love to see Venezuela shock the world. 

[hanton]

What. A. Scene.  Beautiful opening

Go Venezuela go
