netherlands has an insane lineup, but their pitching blows, they need to bring Sir Sidney out of retirement

We'll see how the other pools play out but perhaps Israel is actually good?

It's a country entirely comprised of middle infielders.

Nick Stellini wrote an article today about how Team Israel is a good reminder that even minor league players are really, really good compared to non-US professionals.

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.

Quiz time. What year did the NPB introduce a new secret livelier ball? Hints Balentien's HRs = 2011 - 31 / 2012 - 31 / 2013 - 60 / 2014 - 31 / 2016 - 31.

The best part about this storyline is the then NPB commissioner claimed ignorance and I still can't figure out which possibility is funniest.

Speaking of Korea - surprised that dude who got earholed by a pitch stayed in the game.

Team Korea's manager's reaction to the home run was also amazing.

It's weird watching actual good teams after watching China Taipei and China. Though it would have been pretty funny seeing China vs Dominican Republic.

That was a good throw/relay but :lol:

Bautista's got no wheels.

Am I missing something or is it not possible to watch WBC games on the mobile app? They aren't showing up in the list of feeds but I can watch them on my laptop just fine :confused:

The funny thing is that Bautista just runs slow. So many big slow guys have that weird hitch in their stride but he's just like stuck in a pool or something.

For a big guy he has a really short stride.
