Cobra Commander Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 if not for the mercy rule, Cuba would bring Zombie Castro out to pitch the bottom of the 8th tonight
cubbymark Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) Zombie Castro might rise from the dead and haunt the dreams of the non-defectors tonight. edit: there’s no mercy rule in the knockout stages. This could get REAL ugly. Edited March 20, 2023 by cubbymark

Cobra Commander Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 okay, I guess there isn't a run-rule anymore. So I guess it's officially okay to get mad if anybody is stealing bases up 11 runs.

Cobra Commander Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 if I had heard that they cut the feed midgame, I wouldn't have been completely surprised. But I guess cutting it off would have been noticed. I'm guessing the official response is gonna be some variation of Terry Funk saying that it's unfair to face Lawler in front of fans in Memphis. There's an election next Sunday in Cuba, but with every candidate unopposed, so it's not really an election. No word on how many of the incoming legislators could throw a pitch past Trea Turner.

Or forced to have the opinion they need to throw a baseball at Trae.
Cobra Commander Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 Cuban Rick Pitino after tonight's game: "El Duque's not walking through that door, we have to get better on our own" 1
cubbymark Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 There might have been another fan or fans invading the field in that bottom of the 8th, but no acknowledgment of it.
Cobra Commander Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 I think the unofficial count I read on Twitter was three fans for the entire game. All in all, it probably went smoothly and maybe someday there'll be an MLB All-Stars/Cuba game in Havana but that's probably not happening without some huge changes. Anyways... Japan vs Mexico is the WBC matchup with the highest percentage of fans familiar with Lucha Libre masks
cubbymark Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 Our first Cuban defector of the World Baseball Classic: bullpen catcher Ivan Prieto. Edit: I remember the Orioles vs Cuba in the late 90s and the Rays/Cuba in 2016 being real fun atmospheres and experiences.
Cobra Commander Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 didn't take long for Roki Sasaki to start pumping 101mph
lostinube Posted March 21, 2023 Posted March 21, 2023 FINALLY! Japan ties it up 3-3 after stranding like a billion runners.
Cobra Commander Posted March 21, 2023 Posted March 21, 2023 was a good idea for Japan to eventually stop hitting the ball near Randy
cubbymark Posted March 21, 2023 Posted March 21, 2023 Sac fly hit at Arozarena to get Japan to 5-4. The drama missing last night is here in spades.
lostinube Posted March 21, 2023 Posted March 21, 2023 Bottom of the ninth coming up. Ohtani, Yoshida and Murakami.
SirFozzie Posted March 21, 2023 Posted March 21, 2023 In honor of the late great Pat Patterson, that game was the banana. (No, not strong enough.) That game was THE Banana. (Closer...) That game was THE MOTHERFUCKING BANANA.
