Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted March 12 Posted March 12 Italia is romping over los Mexicanos: 8-1 in the 8th
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted March 12 Author Posted March 12 Team USA is off the hook a little bit too. Italy clearly plays for keepsies.
Centerfield Old-Timey Member Posted March 12 Posted March 12 After consideration I think it’s Aaron Judge. That’s why I’m so indifferent about team USA. Schwarber and Harper don’t help.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted March 12 Posted March 12 Vinny Pasquantino, representing his home country of [CROSSOUT]Virginia[/CROSSOUT] [CROSSOUT]Kansas City[/CROSSOUT] Italy was the hometown hero last night with 3 HRsTrump liked the result because it means that a bunch of Mexicans will be going home. He will, of course, take the credit.And now the knockout stage is set: - Friday, 6:30 (FS1) from Miami: Korea vs Dominican Republic- Friday, 8:00 (FOX) from Houston: USA vs Canada* Winners play Sunday at 8:00 in Miami- Saturday, 3:00 (FS1) from Houston: Puerto Rico vs Italy- Saturday, 9:00** (FOX) from Miami: Venezuela vs JapanWinners play Monday (FS1) 8:00 in MiamiChampionship: Tuesday 8:00 (FOX) in Miami**** the loser, as always, gets custody of Bieber** Not an 8 PM start because FOX is televising the Big East Tournament final at 6:30 ... and even 2-1/2 hours is probably wishful thinking for that one*** For that stadium's biggest crowd of the year
MFS62 Old-Timey Member Posted March 12 Posted March 12 After consideration I think it’s Aaron Judge. That’s why I’m so indifferent about team USA. Me, too. If I hear him called “ captain America “ one more time I think I’ll hurl. 🤮Later
metirish Old-Timey Member Posted March 12 Posted March 12 I actually haven't watched any games so far , I think if PR meets DR that would be worth watching, Japan V USA too
Centerfield Old-Timey Member Posted March 12 Posted March 12 - Saturday, 3:00 (FS1) from Houston: Puerto Rico vs [CROSSOUT]Italy[/CROSSOUT] Americans with Italian Last Names
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted March 12 Author Posted March 12 In fairness there are also one or two Canadians and Venezuelans with Italian last names.And some guy named "Fischer," who I have to admit looks pretty Italian.
Gwreck Old-Timey Member Posted March 14 Posted March 14 - Saturday, 3:00 (FS1) from Houston: Puerto Rico vs [CROSSOUT]Italy[/CROSSOUT] Americans with Italian Last Names In fairness the Puerto Ricans are Americans too…
kcmets Old-Timey Member Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Yeah, I never got why Puerto Rico has a team. It's not a country.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted March 14 Author Posted March 14 They get an Olympic Team also. It's America being (or trying to be) a cool dad.I've written this before, but I think it would far better to have Puerto Rico one of the favorites in my 64 team Tournament of American States and Territories. That would be bigger than biscuits and gravy.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Team Italy once again jumped out to a big lead today -- in this case an 8-2 lead after 4 innings vs P.R. -- and then once again allowed the tying run to come to the plate in the 9th (with no outs) before holding on to win 8-6. Sounds a lot like the Italy/U.S. game). And so they move, improbably, to the semi-final on Monday night against tonight's [9 PM] Venezuela/Japan winner.
metirish Old-Timey Member Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Where can I find this thread? I've looked and can't see what forum it is in, I only happened on it but clicking "next unread topic"
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted March 14 Posted March 14 It was on the baseball thread somewhere around the middle of Page 1 just prior to my above comment bouncing it back to the top. metirish 1
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted March 15 Posted March 15 I wish I was going to stay up for this one [JAP/VEN] cuz it's off to a rollicking start as Acuna and Ohtani trade 1st inning leadoff HRs (and bat flips). Tied 1-1 heading to the 2nd Yamamoto vs Ranger Suarez on the hill.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted March 15 Posted March 15 Down 5-2 after 4 innings, Venezuela jumps all over the Japanese bullpen for 6 runs in 5 innings for an 8-5 win. So it's U. S. vs D. R. (tonight 8 PM on FS1) and Venezuela vs Italy on (Monday, 8 PM, FOX)
metsmarathon Old-Timey Member Posted March 15 Posted March 15 I turned on the Ven/Jap game in the 8th… very stressful. mark derosa has gotta be loving Venezuela right now. Phew! us/dr is gonna be craycray. I guess I’m not watching the Oscars…
Ceetar Grand Central Contributor Posted March 15 Posted March 15 Severino on the bump, Go team DR. Pulling for Italy overall though.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted March 16 Posted March 16 5 hours ago, metsmarathon said: us/dr is gonna be craycray. I guess I’m not watching the Oscars… I wish I knew that the Oscars began at 7PM rather than 8 so I could have at least seen Conan's opening and the early awards. I thought both the academy awards and the game were starting at the same time.
Centerfield Old-Timey Member Posted March 16 Posted March 16 Skenes is so nasty. I don’t know how anyone hits him.
Centerfield Old-Timey Member Posted March 16 Posted March 16 Brazoban cleans up the 5th. 2-1 US. Bottom 5
Centerfield Old-Timey Member Posted March 16 Posted March 16 Soto up. Down 2-1 in the 8th. Last chance to do something special.
Centerfield Old-Timey Member Posted March 16 Posted March 16 Omg. Even worse call. How do you end it like that.
metsmarathon Old-Timey Member Posted March 16 Posted March 16 no... that was... some kindof terrible call. wow. tap the hat. bring on ABS. i mean, yay, usa wins. but on THAT strike call? yikes.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted March 16 Posted March 16 And the tying run for the DR dies on 3rd base on a (borderline) 3-2 call and the U.S. wins a rare (or so it seems) low scoring game for this whole tourney. On second glance: it wasn't borderline, it was low.
