"South Korea-Japan WBC Clash Achieves 16.5% Combined Viewership, MBC Dominates for Second Consecutive Game"...that's for Korea

 

The Japanese tv ratings are going to be insane when announced.

Sat prime time vs. 5-8 a.m starts for the World Series last year.

Australia as well, for last night as well as this Monday night vs. Korea.

3-0 Korea over Australia and threatening for more

4-0 now through three Korean at-bats

have to win by at least 5 runs and can't give up more than 2....or Taipei would end up going to next round

Bazzana 2/15  one homer but hasn't looked good since

very susceptible to off speed stuff

 

6-1 going to 7th

if score holds up Korea advances

1B/DH Go Byeong Moon 

two homers  11 rbis sets record for pool play over Arozarena

 

Dunning just pitcher out of 1st 2nd no outs  gidp K

gave up key 2 run homer to Stuart Fairchild late to put Chinese Taipei up in last game

now it appears the formula they've been showing all game was slightly off and 6-2 still advances for Korea

runner advanced to third on weidest error SS tried to stop his throw and dumped it right into the ground and runner eventually scored on a sac fly

7-2 now

going to be a nervous ninth

if Australia needs just 1 or two runs

 

but then they score too many and Chinese Taipei could go

weird tiebreaker

Too bad for Taiwan. They can enjoy bragging rights over SK tho until next WBC.

After their first two games...coming out of the tourney like this was still a moral victory.

Feels like they were just very flat against Australia, and Korea similarly played poorly against CT after almost knocking off Japan at home.

Apparently, everybody advises Skubal to stay healthy and get paid. He hates the decision he made. 

Tarik Skubal hates WBC choice he made to depart Team USA

Quote

When asked if he was at peace with the decision, he shook his head.

“No," he said, “I’m still not. The only way I’ll be at peace with it is in Miami after we win the whole [expletive] thing. It’s a tough decision, you know. It’s hard. It’s really hard. I’ve been trying to make it work.

Quote

“I think the resounding message from all of the guys was, 'Make sure to take care of yourself and your family,'" Skubal said. "We support you no matter what happens.’ I appreciate that because these are the guys you want to go to war with.

There's probably a better metaphor to use, considering the current times.

Really struggling with a $32 million arb. ruling settlement.

 

"Smart move. He already missed most of 2021 with an elbow issue. (Not TJ surgery). He would be crazy to chance it, and miss the largest payday of, most likely, any pitcher has ever had. Even though the odds are low something would happen."

And a first TJS wouldn't kill his value in FA like a second...maybe chop off $100-150 million.

Feels like a Boras Corp decision...not in the best interest of the sport, but prioritizing the Tigers and his family.

It's another version of D.Peterson at KU.

Witt alone was the reason KC made the post season...

Same thing they're hoping for with Griffin in Pitt and soon Cholowsky in Chicago.

The key difference is Witt's game speed and arm strength, though.

 

Italy/Mexico should be fun...

 

5-3 getting interesting in Houston

3 consecutive wins vs Team USA

Cubs' Boyd getting lit up...J.Duran increasing his trade value
