Italy is not beating Japan. I know it's baseball and anything can happen, but Japan is probably not gonna lose until the finals. Japan is a -600 favorite against Italy.

Cuba advances to play Japan

You'll take Travis Homer and you'll like it.

It's Orlando Brown (or draft) or bust.

Never thought about that. Maybe he can just rosin his whole arm and go to that after every pitch.

Cease already gave up 2 in the first.

Reminds me of when the Sox tried to lure Machado by signing all of his buddies.

Lynn throws exactly 65 pitches to get through 5.

The uniform isn't doing him any favors

So much for this...

TA has earned playing time with how he's played. Plus McNeil has been trash. Lynn might throw a 5 inning complete game today.

Jason is at his best when he's teaching stuff to boomers.

Is it just me or does Cedric Mullins look like he bulked up a lot?

He played 3 tech in Minnesota didn't he? He's really a NT, but his ability to run stuff plays at the 3 too.

Damn why not a Lance Lynn jersey Joe?

TA opposite field triple.

Lynn gives up a leadoff homer on a cutter right down the middle. He seemed amped up in the top half. The long time between innings probably took off a lot of adrenaline.

The offense finally woke up.

Britain beats Colombia, which means the US controls its own destiny.

Assuming Brown gets $25 million a year, they should still have around $5 million left in space. They can also cut Whitehair's $14 million cap hit too, but that might be after the draft in June.

I wonder if it comes down to how they viewed the free agent tackles. McGlinchey and Taylor are decent players, but they aren't elite. Edmunds is an elite linebacker, especially in coverage. Both of them got more money than Edmunds and there are still other options at tackle in FA and the draft.

I hope they have a plan for the defensive line. They've thrown 1/3 of their cap space at linebacker. The LB room is the best part of the defense now, but there are huge holes on the defensive line. If your line can't get pressure or stop runs, it really doesn't matter how good the rest of your defense is. They still have 40 million of cap space and more if they cut Whitehair. Hopefully they spend it on someone like Jones and an edge rusher. Then go and pick an OT at 9.

Or maybe they have their mind set on Paris Johnson.

At least he has a history with Jimmy G.
