Ohtani's too amped up

Just gotta hope McNeil takes 4 wide ones.

Not having Tucker has hurt the US this game.

He's a starter that hasn't really pitched much in the WBC. Now you're asking him to pitch in relief against an all star lineup that has seen him.

For the love of god, pinch hit for Mullins with Tucker.

Schwarbomb. Darvish was throwing him so many meatballs

Can't even blame the US pitching at this point. The hitters haven't shown up.

No hits with RISP

Can't waste this opportunity. Only 8 outs left and they have Darvish and Ohtani waiting to close this out.

Alright Trout, need a big hit here.

Taking TA out and replacing him with .111 hitting McNeil here is certainly a choice...

Adam is gonna let this game get out of reach.

Japan are gonna use Darvish and Ohtani to close this out.

How can you give Schwarber the green light with Turner on deck?

The last 2 hitters in Japan's lineup are the cake walks. You have to get those guys out.

He looks MLB ready. He'll probably be here in a couple years.

Better get that bullpen up DeRosa. I'm not sure you want Kelly going through this lineup twice.

115 MPH EV on Murakami's homer.

Murakami murdered that ball

That looked way better off the bat

TA doesn't care what your splits are. If you're a lefty he's getting a hit off you.

Turner is on some kind of heater

Imanaga has better stuff than just about every starter on the US.

This is like how Argentina is good with Messi. France is good with Mbappe. But PSG, which has them both on it, is not that good (at least in Champions League).

Coby has gotten better at defense this year, but yeah he's still not the on-ball defender that Williams is.
