CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Antonacci looked very good in the field and the bases too. Meidroth is going to have to perform or Antonacci takes his place once the Sox get the extra year of service time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago In an appearance Tuesday morning with Matt Vasgersian and Harold Reynolds on "Hot Stove" on MLB Network, where DeRosa works as an analyst, he said of the game against Italy: "We want to win this game even though our ticket's punched to the quarterfinals." Team USA's ticket was not punched -- and its fate now depends on the results of Italy and Mexico's contest Wednesday night, the final game of the WBC's Pool B. Team USA spent multiple hours in the clubhouse following its 5-3 victory against Mexico on Monday and, DeRosa said before the game against Italy, "There's some guys dragging today." Among Team USA resting a number of starters -- including Bryce Harper and Alex Bregman -- emergency reliever Clayton Kershaw warming up during the eighth inning and DeRosa not pinch running for Paul Goldschmidt as Team USA mounted a comeback after falling behind 8-0, the perception that they believed they had advanced took root as DeRosa's comments spread on social media. Kershaw was warming up, DeRosa said, because WBC rules limit pitch counts and he wanted to avoid using closer Mason Miller if reliever David Bednar reached 25 pitches. Kershaw, DeRosa said, "was the only guy we had left." espn.com Jeff Passan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptatc Posted 57 minutes ago Share Posted 57 minutes ago Looks like USA advances if Italy wins or Mexico wins and scores 5 or more runs. Late scoring by USA helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
