Thought it was good call.  Got a great pitch to hit

He's hitting .154 in the WBC.  The hottest man in the tournament was on deck.  It was most certainly not a "good call".  

Baffling to see people still blaming Team USA pitching when the score is 3-1.

DeRosa rhymes with LaRussa

Adam is gonna let this game get out of reach. 

3 straight walks

Took him 3 straight walks to start warming Graveman, so that tracks 

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

Well apparently no one can throw McNeil a strike, I guess.

Why are they not playing in the Tokyo Dome if Japan is the home team?

No Tim Anderson makes me sad 

Alright Trout, need a big hit here.

DeRosa hasn’t exactly proven to be a highly competent manager 

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

No hits with RISP

USA is blowing it hard.

Japan's pitching is just better.  One mistake, one HR for US.

Is Menechino the USA hitting coach?

Had a chance and nothing

Definitely some TLR/Menechino energy in the dugout.

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

This might be the closest play at first I've ever seen.

Safe

Knowing that we won't be in on the Shohei sweepstakes makes me sad.

New owner could be just around the corner.

The sad resignation of Sox fans.  I’d settle for him being on a good team for a change.
