Are we sure that’s the case? Sure? No, but I heard so several times. Two solo HRs by guys with an Italian relative somewhere in their family tree* and it's 2-0 Italy heading to bottom 4 (Mexico is home team here) * The 30 man roster consists of three players born in Italy (all pitchers fwiw), plus two Venezuelans (and the manager), one Canadian, and 24 Americans
-
DeRosa said during an interview on MLBN earlier in the day that the team had secured a spot in the next round with their win over Mexico but knew that wasn't the case prior to the game v Italy so it's not like they played under that assumption.

If Italy wins then that's two losses for Mexico and it's Italy #1, US #2 If Mexico wins then it's three teams tied at a 4-1 record and it goes to tie-breakers. This is how mlb.com summarizes it: - The tied teams would be ranked, based on runs allowed divided by defensive outs recorded in the games between the three tied teams. - If that also results in a tie, the next tiebreaker is earned runs allowed divided by defensive outs recorded in the games between the three tied teams. - Because Mexico has allowed fewer runs than Italy, there is no scenario in which Mexico could win Wednesday’s game without advancing. - Assuming a nine-inning game, Team USA would advance if Italy gives up five runs or more and loses. But Italy would advance if it loses but gives up four or fewer runs. - An extra-inning game would, of course, alter the math.

Things I Didn't Know about Baseball until 2026
Frayed Knot replied to Edgy MD's topic in New York Mets Talk
Despite Bobby Sr telling his girls, 'Whatever you do, don't marry a ballplayer' Junior is the only son and youngest of the brood so describes himself as being kept in line growing up by 'his four moms'. -
The good news is that Nolan McLean is pitching for the USA tonight. The bad is that he surrendered two HRs in the top of the 2nd and it's currently 3-0 Italy.

Just like there won't be any during the Trump admini... never mind.

Gimme Your Picks of 26: Francisco Alvarez

CROSSES ON HIS CHEEKBONES MULTI-COLORED GEAR MYSTICS AND STATISTICS PREDICT A BREAKOUT YEAR BURMA SHAVE -
I would have gotten to Kevin Appier somewhere around the time when Soto's contract is due to expire ... but only if I thought about it constantly between now and then. G Brett (nearly double everyone else) then Appier -- A Otis -- Willie Wilson - Bret Saberhagen Active Royals include Salvatore Perez #7 and Bobby Witt Jr in 19th place ... although Witt may crack the Top-10 by mid-May btw, the Royals have retired three just uniform numbers: George Brett - career KCR and the franchise's best player by a country mile Dick Howser - five+ year manager who took them to their first pennant and WS, then left midway thru the '86 season for health reasons and was dead less than a year later at age 51 Frank White - 9th best* career team WAR and a non-HoF'er, but an 18-year KCR lifer. * behind the top five mentioned above plus Mark Gubicza, Sal Perez, and Alex Gordon

Legendary? I've taken naps that lasted longer than his NYM tenure.

Dodgers - Duke Snider

Bobby Witt Jr. = Real Good SS With the Royals in a down period these days I suspect most of us have seen very few KCR games in the past few years. So while we can see the numbers we rarely see him. Tonight he's got an opposite field double and two stunning play at SS. Already a 2nd, 4th, and 7th MVP, led the league in hits twice, triples once, and has one batting title in four seasons. Will turn 26 in mid-season and is signed thru 2037.

HE'S BEEN A JAY AND AN A A WHITE SOCK AND A RANGER IF HIS DOWNTURN'S FOR REAL THEN OUR SEASON'S IN DANGER BURMA SHAVE

Yeah, we like the archives, both for preserving our past but also for continuing arguments from 15+ years ago. -
Former big league catcher Ernie Whitt, though a Michigan native from birth and HS & college, spent the majority of his 15 ML seasons with Toronto. Since then he has managed Team Canada in each of the six WBC tourneys making Canada the only country to have the same manager since the WBC's inception.
-
Bo is, btw, his full first name. Bo Joseph Bichette. He also shares a birthday with Edgy. He turned 28 three days ago and Edgy turned 28 somewhere around three decades ago, but still the same day.

BO KNOWS BASEBALL AND NOW HE'S A MET YANX DRAFTED BIG BROTHER BUT WE HAVE THE BETTER BICHETTE BURMA SHAVE

And it's only his second game of the spring!

Tuning back here in top 7, Jonathan Pintaro on to pitch: K, K, 2B, PO-3 Mets 7 - Yanx 4
-
Carl Edwards having a rough inning in relief: 2/3 inning, 2 runs, 2 singles, 2 walks, 25 pitches
-
6-3 after 3 Mets scored their first three runs in the 2nd: Alvarez - 1B Baty - FO Taylor - BB Benge - RBI IF 1B Brujan - BB Ewing - 2 RBI 1B, then steals 2B Semien - LO 6 Polanco - LO 9 Freddie Peralta pitched the first three: 2 R, 3 H, 1 BB, 4 K. Retired 7 of his final 8
-
B-2-B RBI 2Bs by B. Baty & T. Taylor off Ryan 'Stormy' (son of David) Weathers puts the Mets up 5-2 in the bottom of the 3rd Didn't see anything prior to this. Now Benge & Brujan tack on B-2-B singles and it's 6-3 with runners on the corners and still just one out.
-
I assumed he was untouchable.
-
So Aussies fight back with two two-out 9th inning solo HRs ... and lose 4-3 Japan wins their group and the second slot will go to the winner of the Australia/Korea game tomorrow.
-
And now it's 4-1 Japan with the bases loaded and one out in bottom 8th. Six Aussie hurlers have allowed just five hits but also 12 walks!!
