March 7Mar 7 Teel was 2/4 Antonaccl in off the bench but no PA Berti with big game so probably stays on bench Sosa blocked by Arraez/Sal Perez on Venezuela roster Edited March 7Mar 7 by caulfield12

March 8Mar 8 Taiwan tied 1-1 going to 6th against Korea Taowanese pitcher had a nasty blood blister tough turnaround from last night to 12 pm the following day could be 2-2 tie with Korea Taipei Australia in CT holds on tiebreaker is RS-RA differential? Do Young Kim upper deck homer three homers this week including npb exhibitions 3-2 korea "Should there be a tie within pool play, head-to-head record is the first tiebreaker to decide which team advances to the quarterfinals. From there, things get a bit more complicated, with the "lowest quotient of runs allowed divided by the number of defensive outs recorded in games between the teams that are tied" coming into play, per ESPN." Would be Korea for sure...unless Team Australia/Mead does something crazy against Japan/Korea Edited March 8Mar 8 by caulfield12
March 8Mar 8 Dane Dunning quickly warming for Korea... Stuart Fairchild goes yard 4-3 CT bottom 8 tied again 4-4 two out double by surprisingly potent middle infielder Do Young Kim two sac bunts consecutively first reached throw to third late then safety squeeze executed 5-4 CT in extras quintessential Asian style game filled with bunting/sacrifices at end Edited March 8Mar 8 by caulfield12

March 8Mar 8 Australia takes lead on steal of third and wild throw into lf by catcher...

March 8Mar 8 Yoshida has been impressive more power than he's consistently demonstrated in Boston (please trade for Benintendi and $5-10 million to offset salaries) 2-1 Japan to the 8th pretty sure Japan doesn't want to play the Dominican Republic in the quarterfinals...haha Taneichi RP very impressive... Murakami another walk lots of jerseys and fans there...but Ohtani Yamamoto S.Suzuki then Mune and Sasaki seems to be the order of popularity right now Shuto steals 2B as PR...Maki guides a groundball to rh side to advance runner to third https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/article/world-baseball-classic-homers-from-shohei-ohtani-seiya-suzuki-help-japan-get-past-korea-8-6-134619307.html Sato run scoring 2B to oppo lf corner...love that guy, only 26 too Australia falling apart here at end running out of quality pitchers 4-1 Japan two solo AUST homers off closer Ota make it more interesting 4-3 Australia loses but has been one of the big stories of the tourney now get their face off with Korea in Game 4 for Australia Japan/Czechia is last for Samurai will basically be an exhibition game Edited March 8Mar 8 by caulfield12

March 8Mar 8 1 hour ago, Chick Mercedes said: Every winning team has a guy like Ant. Every winning team has a guy like Meidroth too. The best part is there is room for both of them. In the near-term, one will be the 2B and the other our primary backup infielder. Maybe that changes when Roch, Bonemer, and others come up, but even then both Chase & Sam can be key role players off the bench. The Dodgers always have a couple depth pieces like them.
