Johan will be making his first ST start sometime this week. The plan was to get him 4 ST starts and then have him go Opening Day. Not sure that's realistic at this point. More likely scenario is Jon Niese starts Opening Day with the Mets carrying an extra bullpen guy and Johan on the DL. A Johan DL stint can be backdated in a way that he'll only miss one turn through the rotation.
The Mets will only go as far as their pitching takes them this year, so hopefully Johan can get 30 starts in. |

Sick Japan/Chinese Taipei game. Seems so weird how that pool is already into round 2 while round 1 is just starting elsewhere.

Like 300 people at the Canada/Italy. Wadding is one of them and I've seen him like twice so far.
I'm going later tonight and for the rest of the games this weekend but I doubt I'll be on TV. |

Kinda hilarious how after every big play, team Italy does the "bravissimo" hand gesture.

If Mexico wins tomorrow they're pretty much in. US will need Canada to win to stand a chance to advance. Meanwhile Italy wants to go 3-0 most likely.
This is ridiculous. |

Crowd was very pro Mexican. Was hard to get people cheering for USA. Part lethargy part nothing to cheer about part getting drowned out by Mexicans. Might be easier to make some noise tomorrow.

Pretty funny, before the game Romo was on his way to the bullpen from the dugout. Everyone booed him. From pissed off Mexican fans to supportive USA fans booing good players to local D-Backs fans booing a rival Giants member. A very audible "Hey Romo, you suck!" was yelled to which he turned back, smiled, and tipped his cap. Makes me like him even more.

The Mexican team seemed to be hungrier than the US.
Now, even if we beat Italy, if Mexico wins, they're in. Fuck. |

It is my understanding that if the US wallops Italy and destroys Canada and Mexico only beats Canada by a little bit, then the US advances based on the tie breaker which is run differential.
Maybe I'm wrong. It has happened before. |

Yeah, I believe the US will need run differential. The announcers were discussing the ending to yesterday's Italy game was somewhat controversial because as soon as they scored their 10th run to invoke the mercy rule, the other run that followed didn't count. Now in Italy's case a lot would have to go the wrong way for them not to advance anyway, but in theory the mercy rule could screw somebody over. It's not likely - but it could happen.

I can't help but feel bad for Dickey. I had read his book and he wrote a whole section about his run in the 1996 Olympics and how disappointed he was that Team USA didn't win gold that year. So to see him basically get lit up last night as the ace of Team USA was disappointing. The dude looked genuinely upset in the dugout.
It probably should have been expected though. Dickey was horrendous in all 3 springs with the Mets. His knuckler doesn't really get going until his last ST start. |

The first tie breaker is head to head record. Then it's run differential.

Ya but the US has to beat Italy for this to matter and Italy already beat Mexico so it'd be a three way tie and you'd have to do run differential.

This (Mexico vs. Canada) is honestly the most important game of the pool for all 4 teams so I hope there will be a lot of support from Mexico like last night. I'm hoping for like 20,000 people but I get the feeling there won't even be 5,000. |
