It's not like they're facing good Major League quality pitchers either. I think the only guys they've faced who are actual ML pitchers are Pallante and Festa.
March 9, 20233 yr Yoan is hitless through 2 games. Robert is 2-8. I was really hoping they'd look good against mostly minor leaguers, but it seems like they're getting attacked in all their weaknesses quite a bit (Yoan getting lots of change ups and high fastballs, Luis getting tons of sliders away).
March 10, 20233 yr I love the WBC, been some great games already. Too bad the Cubans are struggling tho.
March 10, 20233 yr Moncada got a lead off double. Robert got a single that moved Yoan up to third. And the next guy hit a slow roller to 3rd base and Yoan got tagged by the third baseman on a horrible base running mistake. White Sox baseball!
March 10, 20233 yr Our boys have maybe found their mojo. Yoan 3-5 with a 2B, 3RBI. Robert 2-5, 2RBI. Yo adds another RBI via a bases loaded BB. Edited March 10, 20233 yr by Autumn Dreamin

Might be too little too late for Cuba. They would need Italy to lose out to advance. But like I said before, it's probably a good thing for Moncada and Robert's health that they don't play more than 4 games.

Pretty electric atmosphere in Taichung. Old Guardians' buddy Yu Chang with key two run homer late to tie it. Japan absolutely destroying Korea. Edited March 10, 20233 yr by caulfield12
March 10, 20233 yr Author Taiwan with a three run homer to blow it wide open. Edited March 10, 20233 yr by caulfield12

March 10, 20233 yr Damn. Joey Marciano (Clemente HS) got knocked around for team Italy. I hope he gets his shot in the bigs this year. He's an all time all world make up guy.

March 11, 20233 yr Japanese pitchers scare the hell out of me because they throw a million pitches as teenagers and often (not always) break down in their mid 20's but holy s%*# that Roki dude is NASTY.
March 11, 20233 yr Savant had Sasaki with 21 pitches above 100 MPH, lol. The guy is a total freak of nature. He has to be the best pitcher not in MLB right now.
