Cuba will KO the USA tomorrow. Just kidding! USA is the HR leader with 31. Cuba is second with 21. Cuba is number one in pitching. The Netherlands is number one in BA. USA is second. That was b4 today's games.

 

Cuban starter should be LHP Maikel Folch from the Ciego de Avila Tigers. Folch 90-92 MPH with slider and curve ball. First reliever should be Habana Cowboys Yadier Pedroso. Pedroso can top 94 and has an assortment of pitches including forkball. He needs to cut down on the number of pitches he throws. It is good you see them. We should beat Canada and advance to the championship game where we will have Santiago de Cuba Wasps veteran RHP Norge Vera and Pinar del Rio Green Sox Pedro Lazo ready for you.

The 31 HR from the US is just absurd. Justin Smoak is an absolute stud. Still possible he ends up being better than Beckham.

USA beat Cuba. It was a very good game. Cuba had their chances late in the game but failed to capitalize. The USA hitters are fast ball hitters. Pedroso struck out 7 or 8 in relief. The second USA pitcher pitched very well. Cuba has to beat Canada tomorrow to earn the right to play the USA for the gold on Sunday.

 

Did anybody see the game?

 

 

Cubano, would that second pitcher be White Sox farmhand Lucas Harrell? There is a little bit of talk about him and the game in the Future Sox subforum.

Did anybody see the game?

I did. I was cracking up at the US reliever that was swearing at the ump when he got pulled.

USA won 10-5 in the final today. 2 straight World Cup wins for the US.

AMERICA! f*** YEAH!!!

That list of player playing outside of Cuba tells me everything I need to know.
