I really enjoyed watching baseball yesterday. There's something to be said for meaningful games that are important to the teams. ST exhibition games are about individuals preparing for the regular season, winning isn't important. WBC games are all about team baseball and winning. I can't imagine why Taveras tried to steal third with 2 out in the 9th. Was that from Oquendo or did Willy do that on his own? And
I agree with Hudson Hawk that the play when Taveras didn't score from third on the wild pitch wasn't as obvious as the idiot analyst claimed it was. Who was that analyst? Totally unprepared, totally unprofessional--to take money and then appear in a national broadcast and not even know the names of the players--just shameful. He fortunate I'm not his boss.
The upset of the Dominican Republic by the Netherlands was stupid. And I loved it. It was like when Ralph Sampson was at Virginia and they lost to Chaminade.
