devo 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2009 Anybody notice that Mexico's down 3-0 to Australia in the top of the first? I was really curious as to how that happened until I saw that Oliver Perez was starting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bored 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2009 The mistake was Luis Sojo for some reason felt he had to get Felix Hernandez in against Italy. Using your best pitcher against the weakest team in the pool tells me he doesn't have a future managing in the Majors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Smues Report post Posted March 9, 2009 Adam Dunn has been such a beast these two games. And yet all he's done is clog up the bases (I've lost count of his walks, ) and killed the rally. Really, I don't get why Dunn doesn't get more respect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dobbs 3K 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2009 Because he strikes out a lot, I guess. For the record, given what he signed for, I would have loved to have him on my team. I found it comical last season before the trade deadline when several teams were supposedly "scouting" him. Like they didn't know what to expect from him by now? He is going to strike out a lot and play sub-par defense...but he will also be good for 40 or so homers, and get on base a lot. Makes any lineup more dangerous.

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2009 To anyone who says they don't get why injuries during the WBC are more upsetting than injuries during spring training, that's like asking what's the difference between getting injured at work and getting injured on your way to work. You're right. We can't risk players traveling to Spring Training. They might get hurt on the way there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you don't like it, don't fucking watch it. Terrible example. If you mentioned the World Cup of Hockey, then you might have a point, but even then I'd disagree. And I'm not watching the WBC, doesn't mean I can't express my opinion on it. The WBC is stupid, based on what? Geez, you WBC haters are like a sad broken record. A lot of people are enjoying this. Give it up already. It's a meaningless international tournament that's become a joke with players playing for countries they've probably never been to, that's just to cover the fact that Selig would never close baseball for the Olympics. As Czech said, there's real thrill in seeing these countries face off, especially with the limitations placed on the pitchers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
