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

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.

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.

Eric Gagne actually looking pretty decent, 6 straight batters retired...


edit: until that hit

edit 2: gets out of it - a decent outing for him, still looks pretty nasty

He still has some real velocity on the heater, it's impressive.

Whoever he is, the Italian dugout had a lot of kisses for him when he got back. That's been one of my favorite things about the WBC: Watching how different countries' dugouts celebrate.
