Israel beats South Korea 2-1 at World Baseball Classic

2-0!

Haven't seen a group of Jews with an early offense this good since the 6 day war

Fun fact: if Israel wins Pool A, it will be the first time Israel has defeated 3 countries in under 7 days since 1967.

Fun fact: Israels dugout doesnt actually have a bullpen phone, they are their so the mothers of the players can call and complain about their AB's.

Wow, the best So. Korea can go is 1-2 so they won't make it out of this round as the tiebreakers go against them.  One of the best things about the tournament is watching the Japan/S. Korea match up and now that wont happen.  Nice to see new teams rise to the task but this is disappointing.

China looks a little over-matched playing Cuba.

They don't have the luxury of playing 10 Americans

Lol...they talked about this stadium being like a combination of the old Metrodome and Trop field in Tampa.

I believe I heard before that it was modeled after the Metrodome exactly.

It looks like it.

Pools C and D (Miami and Mexico) start tomorrow...so there will be some games at a more convienient hour.

Hebrews vs The Dutch (both undefeated) tonight at 7pm to determine the top seed from bracket A.

Should be worth checking out.

[Homebrewer]

Profar with some boneheaded base running..keeps the game at double bagels with Israel coming to bat.

[Homebrewer]

3-0 and Israel left the bases loaded in the 1st..Dutch pitcher threw 40.

[Homebrewer]

DR way too much for Canada, who started Ryan Dempster. Biggest crowd in Miami in years I suspect.

You know what they call a passed ball in Spanish?

They call it a paasssed baaall..

[Brent Maguire]

This DR lineup is insane. Thump up and down the lineup. Also rolling out a Betances/Familia/Colome/Rodney/Robles/Abad bullpen. Pretty nice team. 

[Homebrewer]

Italy battles back to score 5 runs in the 9th to beat home team Mexico 10-9 in a walk off..scored 5 runs without even making an out!

I bet you guys turned it off...

[Blarg]

Wops going on!

That's because Debra's son from down the street is a doctor.

This USA Colombia game looks like it's going to be fun to watch..Archer v Quintana

 Archer has been perfect through 3..still scoreless

And the USA team is well represented with star-power despite grumblings from so many that it isn't.

Colombia breaks the scoreless hitless tie in the 4th with back to back to back doubles..all coming with 2 outs.

I find myself rooting for Colombia. 2-0 now.

Make America's team great again ... I'm talking to you Mr. Trout.
