30 ft/s for Robert down the line. That's well above what he averaged last year, but he also didn't try running all that hard last year.

Good lord that got called a strike?

Good thing he didn't get hurt running to 1st.

It's so true though. Nobody grounded out to 2nd better than Leury.

Fun fact: FanGraphs had their rotation ranked over the Astros and White Sox. It was such a bad projection that the writer who was doing the write up was like why are our projections like this?

If only we had Arsenal's depth. We'd need some major contributions from guys we do not expect it from if we end up with Arsenal's injury luck this year. They lost Gabriel Jesus and it didn't really hurt their results. Can we do the same if we lose a top 3 position player or pitcher for an extended period of time?

Stroman is way better than Clevinger.

Off Fulmer too, so it's not exactly off a nobody.

He's got the same problem as Beckham. Their swings always looked similar to me and I think the hitch in the swing basically made it impossible for them to catch up with high fastballs. Hiura, like Beckham, came out of the gates on fire. Then the league caught up and they could never adjust.

lmao, wow so I guess Leury's staying on the team after all?

Say what you want about the Bulls this year, but Pat Bev has made the team entertaining.

Thank the baseball gods

He just has days where he doesn't have any of his stuff. We saw it last year, even before he started getting knee problems.

Our pitchers didn't want to pitch, but from what I saw, there were no major injuries to pitchers from actually pitching. Just Edwin Diaz getting hurt from celebrating.

They also have the best player on the planet. Their pitching was easily the best in the tournament. I was surprised to see such great stuff from just about every Japanese pitcher.

It's too bad the Mariners blew their load on Luis Castillo. You'd think they would be a favorite to sign any Japanese players.

Witt is fast af, but he's not super efficient at stealing bases.

Congrats to Japan. Well played by them all tournament. US had chances, just couldn't hit at all with runners on base.

Ohtani has so much tail on his 4 seam that it looks like a cutter.

God damn it Mookie

Not a single fastball for a strike in that PA.

Ohtani's too amped up

Just gotta hope McNeil takes 4 wide ones.

Not having Tucker has hurt the US this game.

He's a starter that hasn't really pitched much in the WBC. Now you're asking him to pitch in relief against an all star lineup that has seen him.
