Schwarber is trying to hit a bomb.

Schwarbomb. Darvish was throwing him so many meatballs

Schwarber made that look easy. Man he would have been fun to have on the Sox.

He hasn’t been sharp at all

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

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. 

What the f*** was that Realmuto

Instead, you get McNeil for Timmy

First fuckin pitch.

Not having Tucker has hurt the US this game.

Trea Turner on first and they decide they need to swing away at first pitches.

Dear lord.

Ohtani will have the high ground by virtue of being on the mound.

Not having star pitching apparently has hurt the WBC according to Manfred. Does he think “star pitching” would make a difference with anemic hitting?

Do you pinch hit for McNeil leading off the 9th?

Just gotta hope McNeil takes 4 wide ones.

 

Honestly, Ohtani striking out Trout to seal the win is just too cinematic to not happen.

If home/away were swapped, Trout would walk it off. Some things are just meant to be.

Really wish we had Tim Anderson and his love of the big stage right now.
