[ChiefD]

Let’s do this USA.

 

[ChiefD]

Alright!

 

[jobarules]

Haven't been this pumped for a baseball game in a LONG time. Maybe 2017 ALCS

The only thing for me is the Royals in the World Series.

But this certainly has a different feel for sure.

 

[ChiefD]

Love seeing Ohtani come out of his shell and show some emotion.

Man I’d love for mlb baseball to pull their heads out of their butts and play with passion like this.

 

[ChiefD]

I know its hard to do over 162 but time to retire the archaic “unwritten rules of baseball.”

Hard to do in 162 game season but in playoffs for sure. I love the emotions.

 

[rockaction]

Okay, I've tuned in. I'm interested.

 

[rockaction]

Japan with the see-thru uniforms.

 

[ChiefD]

Japan with the see-thru uniforms.

So basically they are Japanese suitsee?

 

[ChiefD]

Trea Turner is so hot right now.





















He’s also been good at baseball lately.

 

[otb_lifer]

Japan with the see-thru uniforms.

 

[ChiefD]

USA needs to get going.

 

[Moe.]

Mookie has to get on base here

 

[jobarules]

This offense disappointing tonight

 

[jobarules]

These Japanese pitchers nothing special. Disappointing

 

[Capella]

Schwaber missing that total 3-0 meatball could be the game.

 

[ChiefD]

We need some Bobby Witt, Jr in here to win this thing.

 

[ChiefD]

I stand by my original statement last fall that Joe Davis is the most boring baseball announcer EVER.

And coupled with John Smoltz? I need some speed to wake up. These are your best Fox?

Smoltz is HORRIBLE. Davis is fine IMO.

 

[HellToupee]

really dislike Davis

 

[HellToupee]

Smoltz “running out of words”

 

[irish eyes]

Schwaber missing that total 3-0 meatball could be the game.

He should have been taking 3-0. Hottest hitter behind him, pitcher can't throw strikes. And he's hitting a whopping .180

 

[ChiefD]

Smoltz “running out of words”

Impossible. He apparently gets paid by the word.

 

[ChiefD]

It’s actually a treat watching Japan play baseball. They play the game the way it should be played. Short swings. Team baseball. Executing a plan.

Old school baseball.

 

[HellToupee]

Did Kyle Tucker come down with the clap or something?? Cripes

 

[jobarules]

Smoltz said he felt like for USA to win they would have to outscore their opponents

 

[jobarules]

Did Kyle Tucker come down with the clap or something?? Cripes

This and all our star pitchers not playing is a bad look

 

[ChiefD]

Smoltz said he felt like for USA to win they would have to outscore their opponents

Always comes down to the fundamentals.

Old School And (Very) Short Swing

 

[ChiefD]

Glad to see nobody warming in the bullpen. Wtf.

Damn right.

I haven't heard of the majority of their pitching staff. I commend the guys that play, but these pitchers that have made millions and millions & don't want to play oof.

 

[The General]

This is fantastic.

 

[The General]

MLB really needs to make this a bigger deal.

 

[HellToupee]

My god Trout can’t even get hit

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Rare to see Trout get jammed like that.

 

[HellToupee]

MLB really needs to make this a bigger deal.

Kill the all star game and take a couple of weeks off mid season every 3 years

 

[irish eyes]

Trout and Goldschmidt crapped the bed tonight. That was the game right there.

 

[ChiefD]

Rare to see Trout get jammed like that.

He has really faded in big games. I remember when the Royals beat the Angels in the ALDS he didn’t really do anything.

 

[jobarules]

Trout doesn't look like he can hit a fastball anymore and that at bat by goldy was absolutely atrocious

 

[irish eyes]

Trout doesn't look like he can hit a fastball anymore and that at bat by goldy was absolutely atrocious

They both were swinging so late behind pitches.

 

[irish eyes]

Trout hasn't looked good but I won't criticize him. At least he had the stones to show up and play.

 

[HellToupee]

just ignore the missed strike call

 

[jobarules]

Trout hasn't looked good but I won't criticize him. At least he had the stones to show up and play.

True

Will stick to criticizing the wimpy American pitchers who didn't wanna play.

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

You can see why Bednar has the reverse splits against LH. His pitches ride hard up and in on the batter.

 

[The General]

MLB really needs to make this a bigger deal.

Kill the all star game and take a couple of weeks off mid season every 3 years

I was trying to think of ways to do it. Middle of season would be amazing and the best for sure.

This would be the best thing to happen to the game, would be a big deal I think.

 

[HellToupee]

Mullins better not get his AB

 

[ChiefD]

Darvish in might benefit the USA. We’ve seen him before.
