Kahran Ramsus Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 Barely an actual network. And using Jamie Campbell over the MLB Network feed for the Canadian games was dumb. I recorded and watched some of the Canada/US game, and you can barely hear the crowd noise. It sounded like they were calling the game over the phone. The network and Jamie Campbell may suck, but at least it is on any basic cable sports package nationwide. And at least its better than FOX.
devo Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 No score in the Dominican/Netherlands game in the top of the eighth. This is pretty incredible no matter what the result.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Reyes with a bottom 9th throwing error. What is with Mets and competition?
Bored Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Posted March 11, 2009 It was actually a booted ball on a bad hop but this is amazing. Hopefully it gets decided before the 13th when they would go to the lame Olympic rules for extra innings. And it's heading to the 10th.
jimmy no nose Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 I missed the entire game until just now, but wow. Does anybody have an answer for the feared Dutch pitching staff?
Guest Smues Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 This is game is awesome, but Bored, please tell me those 14th inning rules aren't what I think they are. Start with runners on 1st and 2nd? Please tell me that was just a bad nightmare and that's not actually in the rulebook Edit: It might not matter as the Dominican Republic is on the board.
Kahran Ramsus Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 And the Dominicans go ahead with an assist from the Dutch RF.
Bored Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Posted March 11, 2009 Awww the Dutch right fielder blows a catchable ball, scored a triple for Jose Bautista but should have been an error, and the Dominicans go up 1-0.
Bored Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Posted March 11, 2009 Lead off double for the Dutch, it ain't over yet!
jimmy no nose Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 MLB.com has the Joey Bats triple overruled and says error now. Please let them score on Marmol.
Guest Smues Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 This game rocks, thank god for mlb.tv.
Bored Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Posted March 11, 2009 Redemption for Eugene Kingsale with an RBI single, TIE GAME!!! MARMOL THROWS IT AWAY, KINGSALE TO 3RD!!!
Guest Smues Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Marmol fucks up the pickoff throw and the runner moves from 1st to 3rd. Awesome.
Guest Smues Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Oh my god that was amazing. Great, great game. Major kudos to the Netherlands.
Kahran Ramsus Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 I doubt we'll see a better game for the rest of the tournament.
Bored Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Posted March 11, 2009 And Willy Aybar was the one who booted it at 1st. You can't make this shit up!
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 I swore to myself no more Aybar subtitles, but this merited it.
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 I think I like WBC after watching that game.
jimmy no nose Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 That was awesome. Too bad the 3 biggest game deciding plays were bad errors.
Guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Looked like some of those D.R. players were close to tears. If only, if only.
jimmy no nose Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 They'll probably fix it at some point, but as of right now Yahoo's box score for the game lists cleanup hitter/third baseman Yurendell De Caster as "Unknown". That probably says something about the level of upset that this happening twice is. http://sports.yahoo.com/wbc/boxscore;_ylt=...B?gid=290310110
Kahran Ramsus Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Don't look now, but there is another potential upset in the making here with Australia now up 4-2 on Cuba.
Guest Vitamin X Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Oh jesus fucking christ. Stupid Aussies. Come on, Cuba. This is supposed to be your redemption year. EDIT: So much for that pessimism. Alli, alli compadres! And that's game. Scary win.
