There is a gun in the dome, and they're showing the speeds on the scoreboard. For some reason MLBN isn't putting it in the graphics.

poo poo dude, if they were playing in the Miami pool they might have guys like Joc, Kinsler, Pillar, Valencia, etc.

EDIT: Were Israel even the favorite in their qualifier pool? They were up against real weak teams but I feel like Brazil was probably it?

EDIT2: Jerry Weinstein looks like he should always have a pastrami sandwich in front of him.

Brazil, Great Britain, and Pakistan were the other teams in their qualifying round.

Jerry is the manager for the Rockies AA team in Hartford. Hope he can get good a pastrami on rye there.

I assume there's at least a couple decent delis there, and worst case he can hop on Metro North into the city.

Taiwan-Korea will have auto qualifying for the next WBC on the line too, third gets the spot and fourth has to come in to the qualifying tourney to get in.

And yeah Wlad is a masher for Yakult in Japan. It's amazing that he's the single-season NPB homer king after seeing him flameout of the Majors.
