owenp_23 559 Posted March 9, 2023 #213 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Xander Bogaerts must have read the forum yesterday. He turned his WBC performance around and is 3-4 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owenp_23 559 Posted March 9, 2023 #216 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Well thatʻs an odd way to end a game. Edman is thrown out at second and wins 8-7. Really interesting decision by Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topicmaster1010 2,405 Posted March 9, 2023 #217 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Upset complete! Australia wins! Korea in huge trouble now. If all 3 of Australia, Japan, and Korea win their games against the Czech Republic and China, then Korea would basically have to beat Japan to advance which will be anything but easy.

Olympian1010 7,503 Posted March 9, 2023 #219 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Two results I definitely didn’t expect to start off the day though.

phelps 6,932 Posted March 9, 2023 #220 Share Posted March 9, 2023 13 hours ago, owenp_23 said: I added to that to see what reaction it would get. I didn't expect you to leave my side though. There were 27 hits, 11 walks, and 5 pitching changes during an inning which caused the game to run on, but sometimes baseball games last a while. yes, I have nothing against Baseball games going long when they're exciting, especially in the late innings. but it wasn't the case of yesterday's match...too many stints of boring non-action to appreciate it. vs game earlier this morning was just on another scale (and I don't mind that going on for almost 4 hours). p.s. the main feeling was the difference going from MLB Spring training (with pitch clock) to WBC (with the old rules)...it was really a tough hit to take. I didn't imagine I could get used to the "new flow of the game" so fast. in any case, I still think that the MLB rules need to be adjusted, giving the hitters a few more seconds to get ready in the batters' box and not using the pitch clock at all in the 9th (and extra) innings when a match is close enough (let's say 4-run difference or less).
