Was that guy out or safe in the 9th? His right hand went inbetween the catcher's legs, and the announcers seemed SO SURE that he was safe but I couldn't tell. Either way, Japan hammered them in the 9th.

I love being a lefty, it makes hitting sidearm and submarine pitchers so much easier.
Huge DP in the sixth ![]() He didn't touch the plate, but I don't think the catcher got the tag down either. Dunno ![]() |

close call at the plate that's for sure. Didn't matter in the overall outcome.
Cuba made it interesting, but it seems like the Japanesse had a pitching depth advantage, at least on this night. |

So what did you think about this tournament? It was pretty cool I guess but I dunno if it'll stick.

I enjoyed it, but if they don't move it to November and change the semi-final seeding (the only way two teams should face eachother a 3rd time is if they are in the finals) it could fail.

At least in the championship and semi-final rounds, they need to have best of 3 or best of 5 series. Does anyone here think Mexico could beat the US 3 out of 5 times? Every baseball championship around the world is decided by a series, obviously the WBC should be too

I agree, the series is kind of neccessary just because of matchups in pitching.

Yeah pitching depth is the one area where the U.S. was just way better than everyone else, but in one game it doesn't really matter. But if Mexico or Korea or Japan or whoever has to face Clemens, Willis, Peavy, Sabathia, Clemens; chances aren't good.
