or just grabbing a big lead so they don't need a closer

or not.  Urias settles down, bullpen picks him up, they garb a lead, and Arozarena makes a nice catch deep in a power alley to preserve the lead in the 8th.  John Romero gets the win. Meneses has a quiet night.

Meneses scorched a ball in the gap but Kike made an amazing catch to rob a double

He started out shading to right and a little deep and caught it in the lf gap a little in.  His strides at the end are loooonnnnggg.

Venezuela with a couple infield miscues. Winning 3-2 but have left guys on base. Need to get these runs in.

USA leading 4-2. Hitting lots of balls hard. Could be more. Nice start by Lance Lynn.

Bard crapping the bed. Derosa showing his inexperience. Told too long to get someone up when pitches are nowhere near the plate.

Tough to see Bard with the yips. He's been through a lot

Has he had that problem before. Just terrible to watch. They won the last WBC with a middling pitching staff. Might catch up to them this time.

Home plate umpiring has been bad the whole classic. And there you go again. Should swing though knowing they are giving almost everything to the pitchers.

Wow. Trea with the Grand Salami.  On an 0-2 hanging curve.

I guess the Venezuela manager was saving Alvarado. Oops. Makes no sense.

No doubt Davey texted him that he should not be swinging for the fences.

It's going to be so hard to hate on Trea for the next decade.

I really hate the trend of the Phillies signing ex-Nats.

Not so much anger as sadness. He have to do something like sucker punch a Nat in a benches empty brawl or say something super derogatory about the city and the fans for me to turn on him.

Because he went to Philly it will be easy to root against him which is a shame because he never wanted to leave here.

My goodness. 3 infield bleeders and a walk for Waino but got out of it with 1 run. Would have been super snakebite if there was just one solid contact from 567
