cubbymark Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 (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 by cubbymark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubbymark Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
