It’s just hilarious they literally look like the two worst players on the team. Also, I’m hoping it’s just the jersey, but Yoan looks rather heavy.

I think the only guys they've faced who are actual ML pitchers are Pallante and Festa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Moncada grounds out weakly on the first pitch, down 4 runs. Robert rbi single Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Yoan is hitless through 2 games. Robert is 2-8. I was really hoping they'd look good against mostly minor leaguers, but it seems like they're getting attacked in all their weaknesses quite a bit (Yoan getting lots of change ups and high fastballs, Luis getting tons of sliders away).

pettie4sox Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 And Japan is the only team winning as a favorite thus far. Kinda crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I love the WBC, been some great games already. Too bad the Cubans are struggling tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Moncada got a lead off double. Robert got a single that moved Yoan up to third. And the next guy hit a slow roller to 3rd base and Yoan got tagged by the third baseman on a horrible base running mistake. White Sox baseball!

Autumn Dreamin Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) Our boys have maybe found their mojo. Yoan 3-5 with a 2B, 3RBI. Robert 2-5, 2RBI. Yo adds another RBI via a bases loaded BB.

But like I said before, it's probably a good thing for Moncada and Robert's health that they don't play more than 4 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty electric atmosphere in Taichung. Old Guardians' buddy Yu Chang with key two run homer late to tie it. Japan absolutely destroying Korea.

Harold's Leg Lift Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Damn. Joey Marciano (Clemente HS) got knocked around for team Italy. I hope he gets his shot in the bigs this year. He's an all time all world make up guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold's Leg Lift Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Japanese pitchers scare the hell out of me because they throw a million pitches as teenagers and often (not always) break down in their mid 20's but holy s%*# that Roki dude is NASTY. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjusttyped Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Savant had Sasaki with 21 pitches above 100 MPH, lol. The guy is a total freak of nature. He has to be the best pitcher not in MLB right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
