Hey Team Mexico maybe next time don't let the catcher call of the 3B on a pop-up in foul territory?

It's the catcher's ball if he wants it. So yeah it's basically on him to not do that.

Netherlands-Japan has been quite entertaining but it's Van den Huerk pitching, who pitches for Softbank, so it's one of the few guys you'd imagine the NPB batters actually know.

it is now the 3rd and he's about to be chased off after giving up 5, including a three-run dinger. Tokyo Dome is rocking.

This a good game. It gets so quiet when NL is batting.

It is also great how the crowd brass band plays the 'Back to the Future' theme when Aoki is up and then start his song from when he played in NPB.

Tokyo Dome has gone up and down in volume a couple times tonight. It's also still weird for me to hear songs for a couple of the batters who aren't Giants ringing around the Dome like that too.

This is a great game though. Already running long as hell though.

Carlos Santana is a bad 1B, that's the second or third time I've seen him just let a ball clunk out of his glove.

Wow, and Santana just scorched a ball to RF so hard he actually got thrown out at first, but the pitcher ran to cover too and blocked the ump's view so he was called safe.

You could see rosin/dust explode off of the ball when it was hit.

Tito Polo caught stealing while Dellin is pitching, and it was a hell of a throw and tag. Maybe Dellin has actually sped up his delivery a little?

If Colombia wins this game now, they probably win the group on tiebreakers even if the USA wins tonight. Then there would be a 2nd place game tomorrow.

Uhh did Polo bump the ump and get ejected? It looked like two guys did, in fact.

First they don't call the HBP for Colombia, and now they don't enforce the blocking-the-plate rule. This game is rigged!

Are they playing with the Posey rule bc it seems like the catcher isn't allowed to take that spot anymore

Prob woulda been out regardless, was not a good decision to run

Yup, two Colombian players ejected there.

Oh holy poo poo Polo didn't realize he got tossed and is crying as he walks off the field.
