I saw it was on in the fourth and watched from there

Giving up the run in the top of the 11th made it even better. That was really intense stuff, nice.
Although they are going to get destroyed in the next round it was a really good game and im glad they won.

the preceding post was a great success.

Oh and

Welcome back Nelson!

He had 2 hard line drive outs and 2 walks in this game. Average hurt by poor luck but he had a good wbc showing.

the preceding post was a great success.

Yup.

He looked locked in at the plate, so I’m not too worried about the numbers.

And he made a nice play backing up on a hard line drive over his head late in the game. I’m excited about having his defense out there everyday in RF or LF this year.

OMG, OMG, OMG! That was FUN.

I was watching it on a bit of a delay thanks to good ole DVR so I just finished it about one minute ago.

That was so awesome.

Reynolds on MLB Network makes a good point about sloppiness

The Dutch scored five total runs in two games and four of them were because of bonehead plays by the Dominicans. Amazing what happens when you make the other team beat you instead of beating yourself. That pickoff throw that sailed in the 11th… I knew then that the Dominicans were pretty much done.

OT: Play the Cubans just made

Did anyone just see the play the Cuban second baseman made going up the middle and flipping the ball to the shortstop who threw the Austrailian runner out at first!?!

Wowsers.

This WBC is alright man.

Bring back Ponson!!!

I kid. Noticed in the box score, DR didn’t try to run on that catcher this time.

Anybody know about this guy pitching for Cuba? He’s hitting triple digits.

Chapman

ChiTrib: Albertin Chapman, CubaThe left-hander is a buzz guy for scouts. He did not play in Beijing but seemingly is ready to burst on the scene. By reputation, he can hit 100 m.p.h. on a radar gun and is 22 years old, although both claims bear inspection.

Just don't let Rodman steer the boat.

For the Lake Lewisville conspirasists of the 90’s.

explain

Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?
KG: Oh yeah.
Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes.

I can't remember the exact details,

but a woman was either killed or had her face maimed by a speedboat rudder. The ‘rumor’ was the boat description matched Rodman’s and he paid someone off. Complete rumor, I don’t mean to indict anyone, I just remember it being a hot topic, but not in the press.

I remember that, but never heard the Rodman rumor

that accident was actually on ‘Unsolved Mysteries’ if I remember correctly.

Yup. Definitely remember that.

Actually, it had a random tie to my world. The cigarette boat that was supposedly involved in the accident was always parked at an employee of Rodman’s who lived in my neighborhood.

I never thought it was a rumor…I thought it actually happened. Honestly, I have no idea though.

I know.

I don’t know why the suggestion of a 100MPH throwing southpaw being transported by boat made me think of Rodman. I’m just glad someone else remembered those rumors, I was beginning to think I killed to many brain cells at UNT in the mid 90s.

I don't care about either team and that's one of the greatest baseball games I've ever seen.

They should have won, anyway, but that’s what you get for using Jose Reyes as a pinch runner and having an outfield of Willy Taveras and Jose Guillen.

its what they get for not having their "championship players" on the field lol

The WBC has some issues...

but damn have there been some good games to watch this year. Both those wins yesterday by the Dutch and the Cubans were fantastic.
