SO close. Had opportunities with runners on. Just unlucky

 

[largebus]

Sucks but they did us proud.

 

[Fudge Nuggets]

Gritty team you got there. Very impressed with the way they played.

 

[basashi]

Already on train

Fast exit

3rd inning with bases loaded, base hit scores 2, what could have been

From now I will be watching to see when Murakami gets his mojo back

Kind of a big game in Miami tonight with the Dominican Republic vs Puerto Rico for a spot in the quarterfinals. Two All-Star teams in what will probably be the most intense atmosphere imaginable. I'm fully engorged for that one.

Would’ve been huge to make semis. Game in Miami. Wild. One inning really that Cuba took advantage of

So cruel. Injured while celebrating his countries win.

10 runners LOB for Australia ultimately cruelled the game for Aus , but overall great to get out of the group stage for the first time.
Hopefully Baseball Australia can build on this momentum.

Some film of the incident at this link. The Puerto Ricans are in a circle jumping up and down when everyone stops and aid is called for immediately because Diaz has collapsed on the ground. Doesn't sound good. Hopefully just a hyper-extension of the knee and Diaz is ready to play for Hawthorn next week (whoops, had flashbacks to the year Buddy hyper-extended his knee in a final against the Cats).

Diaz injury overshadows Puerto Rico win vs. D.R.

Sources told ESPN they fear the knee injury suffered by Edwin Díaz could keep the star Mets closer out for a significant period, though they hesitated to place a timetable on it until they see the results of further tests expected to take place Thursday.

Freddie Freeman said yesterday that he does not expect to miss Opening Day despite suffering a hamstring injury that ruled him out of Team Canada's final WBC game. He was forced to leave the game against Colombia in the fourth inning of the game played on Tuesday after feeling hamstring tightness during an at-bat in the previous inning. Freeman last spent time on the injured list in 2017.

He’s out for the season.
150 million. New York Mets are just cursed. Doesn’t even look bad.

 

[largebus]

Feel sorry for Edwin but not for the moneybag Mets.

Feel sorry for Edwin but not for the moneybag Mets.

I feel the same way

If you have an account with twitch, there are a number of channels showing Puerto Rico v Mexico right now. Puerto Rico is up 4-1, in the top of the fifth.

 

[Santana]

Mexico through to the last 4 in the WBC for the first time ever

US against Venezuela has been great so far with the back and forth contest.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Altuve was hit on the hand by a 96 mph heater from Daniel Bard.

Trea Turner hit a grand slam in the top of the eighth to give Team USA a lead.
