World Baseball Classic

[sears3820]

Korea jumps out to a quick 2-0 lead in the first against the US. Seung-Yeop Lee (The Lion King) blasted his 5th HR of the WBC.

Dontrelle's all over the place.

 

[sears3820]

Jr. just cut the lead in half with HR that just cleared the fence in right.

2-1 Korea top of the 3rd.

 

[Jt4prez]

Junior has been tearing the cover off of the ball throughout the entire Classic. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come.

On a side note, is Bum Ho Lee playing for Korea? I find that name to be fairly amusing.

Giffey has been swingin' the bad very well.

 

[sears3820]

Korea tacks on another run with an RBI groundout.

3-1 Korea.

Willis is still struggling. He just doesn't have it this early in the season.

I'll see your , and raise you one .


OT: ESPN just reported the HR that David Ortiz hit today against Cuba just landed.

 

[crazybuckfan40]

Is this on tv. Just checked ESPN, ESPN2 and classic and cant find it.

 

[sears3820]

I have Insight cable in Columbus and it's on channel 4/51.

 

[crazybuckfan40]

Well the local programming station on time warner has Indians ST. I hate the INdians.

How are we doing, or are we going to go down to the koreans.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

6-1, bot 6

6-1, bot 6

They suck.

Dontrelle has been getting rocked. Do we still have a chance to advance if we lose today?

 

[Sober]

The WBC showed itself to be a joke with the gift win the US got against Japan. Gee, why don't they just let the US in the final without having to play the games?

Dontrelle was definitely subpar last night, giving up 3 runs in 3 innings, but Dan Wheeler gave up the three-run homer to Hee-Sop Choi that took it from 3-1 to 6-1.

By my understanding, it's possible (but improbable) we could still advance if we lose to Mexico IF Japan beats Mexico and Korea then beats Japan. At that point, Korea would be 3-0 and Japan, US, and Mexico would all be 1-2. If I'm understanding correctly and the decision is based on run differential, if the US lost by 1 to Mexico, they would need Japan to beat Mexico by 5, and then would need Korea to beat Japan by 9. Or something like that. It seems like it would be a longshot for the US to advance if they lose to mexico, so need to take care of business tomorrow.

I think they will win today, with Clemons on the mound.

Dontrell isnt getting much run support either tho.
