EternalShinyAndChrome 4,340 Posted March 20, 2023 Now up 9-2! Kick those Commies ass! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gepetto 1,483 Posted March 20, 2023 USA hitting and fielding is loaded with superstarts. Pitching is very lacking. Go USA! Amazing to see Trea Turner's grand slam yesterday to take the lead 9-7 late to beat Venezuela. Cuba down now 9-2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gepetto 1,483 Posted March 20, 2023 Trea Turner just hit another Home Run. 2nd tonight. 3rd HR in last 5 at bats. 4th of the tournament and most by any player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was worried he got hurt for a moment. Too bad Altuve got his thumb fractured. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 3,018 Posted March 21, 2023 There's nothing wrong with WBC and players wanting to represent their home countries. There is obviously an argument to be made with injuries and the major league teams who are paying these guys. ... I think the real issue is it just needs to be held in November. It means and injury like the one Diaz suffered maybe only keeps him out until the AS break. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arenado, Goldy, Trea Turner, Alonso, Mookie Betts, Mike Trout, Realmuto, Cedric Mullins… no one who talks as much baseball as you and plays fantasy doesn’t know all these guys. Tim Anderson, Kyle Tucker, Kyle Schwarber? there are some lesser guys like Brady Singer and Bobby Witt though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cmh6476 1,160 Posted March 21, 2023 I definitely didn't have much reason to watch last season. Hopefully the new regime brings some hope.

The Real timschochet 7,559 Posted March 22, 2023 Unfortunately, because we have the most focked up owner in baseball, Ohtani and Trout will only be together for one more season…unless they somehow win it all. That seems doubtful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The GMs under Moreno have been poor but ultimately it’s been the choice of Arte not to spend the extra money. He’s cheap and won’t sell the team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
