Talking about Teel or they've already diagnosed Suzuki?

Interesting that Francisco Cervelli is most associated with Venezuela and has one parent from there...but now is the biggest advocate in the world for Italian beisbol.

Should have given the stream away for free with Netflix and other ads mixed in.

Backfired doubly because Japan missed out on semis and finals for first time ever.

Japanese manager Ibata not surprisingly resigned already.

how is this game not great for the sport of baseball?

 

Ofc Julio Rodriguez was fortunate there not to have a broken wrist on the hbp from Skenes.

 

Tatis absolutely flying down the 1B line there...should have been on third, though.

Great play by Henderson, too.  Just couldn't make an accurate throw.

 

Witt Jr. can play a little ball.

Why wouldn't you prefer Cal Raleigh hitting late lhb vs rhp if there wasn't another reason to keep W.Smith in?

He has faster pop times as well...but Miller takes way too long to deliver ball to throw out Rodriguez anyway.

Also RH starter in Severino.

 

Manager Mark DeRosa has opted to shake things up, removing catcher Cal Raleigh and third baseman Alex Bregman from the starting lineup.  (Also started playing PCA over Buxton.)
