Eloy missed a liner on a sliding catch attempt in RF that goes for a triple.  

Wasn’t a terrible play IMO

Yeah I don’t know if anyone makes the catch.

Yep just glad he didn’t hurt himself on the play 

Sox v. Sox matchup of Eloy vs. Padilla on the mound. Eloy hits a 107mph rocket double to the wall, a few feet shy of getting it out.

Eloy just missed a homer to left center.  Goes for a stand up double. 

Eloy stranded at 3rd

Puerto Rico beating DR would be one of the bigger upsets of the WBC ... obviously PR has a ton of talent of their own, but still.

 

Everyone had DR, Japan and USA as their top 3 picks.

 

Almost impossible to go against Japan at this point.   Cuba just doesn't have enough hitting outside top 4 guys and their pitching depth is relatively weak/er now, too.

Two more innings to go.

 

US/Colombia in warm-up.   Have to win that one in order to advance, right?

Or another one of those crazy tie-breaker situations?

 

 

A loss would mean a 3 way tie with Colombia and Canada...not sure how all the tiebreakers would shake out there.

TA showing that he can definitely play 2B. 

Kelly in a huge jam. USA pitching just isn't very good. 

That Diaz injury really killed the vibe of the WBC.

Good thing DR didn't win. I could see that happening to Eloy.

It's literally happened to him before

It’s embarrassing considering what it could be

Turner's error turns into a run. 

Three way tie for second goes to which team now?

Should be deGrom Verlander Cease Burnes Kershaw Cortes... etc.

It’s going to be so awkward when Liam returns from his medical issue, the Sox celebrate him…and then he gets traded to the Mets

Graveman with a nice inning. ꓘ, single, fielder's choice to get the lead runner, then a nice pickoff at 1st. 6 pitches, 6 strikes.

Kershaw couldn't get insurance coverage.

Trout carrying the team tonight

Graveman probably could've gone another inning, since he only threw six pitches.

I imagine we sent him with a 1IP limit though, since he had stamina issues last year and we're obviously going to be relying on him a lot this season.

In other Sox news, TA just made a nice tag play to catch a guy stealing 2nd.

TA (and most of this lineup) are struggling heavily vs. the change up tonight.
