World Baseball Classic 2023

[Dixie Flatline]

Hope we have our bunt defence on. Bloke clearly has no intention of swinging the bat.

Not sure about Nilsson managing here

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Our pitchers are terrible. Can't buy an out in this inning. Now bases loaded with the leading run for China at the plate.

 

[FreoRicci]

Good lord, the pitching is atrocious. Loaded bases, 1 out

 

[RPCB]

This is turning into a disaster. Our pitching, outside our starters, have been woeful.

Some filthy pitches there. Great strike out

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Two big punch outs to stem the bleeding and get out of the inning. Chance to get some runs back.

 

[FreoRicci]

Got out of that one. Solid pitching in the end.

 

[RPCB]

Some filthy pitches there. Great strike out

Thrilled that the damage wasn’t worse. We do need runs though.

 

[FreoRicci]

Trust Kennelly to get a hit. He's been solid so far this tournament.

 

[RPCB]

Hell yes!

 

[FreoRicci]

CRUSHED. Australia get the 2 runs back. That was a great AB from Glenndinning

 

[FreoRicci]

Would love to know how far that went. 420+ feet by the looks

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Robbie Glendinning with a 441 foot home run to make it a five run lead once more. He has some power, that man.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Would love to know how far that went. 420+ feet by the looks

Announcer said it was 441 feet.

 

[FreoRicci]

Announcer said it was 441 feet.

441 it was? He waited on it. Pitch was nearly hung. Great AB.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

And then a RBI double from Whitefield scores George. 8-2 Australia.

 

[RPCB]

Bloody awesome! Yes! 8-2.

 

[FreoRicci]

And then a RBI double from Whitefield scores George. 8-2 Australia.

Some great ABs this inning. Australia can hit, no doubt about that. Pitching really need to step up and put the pressure on

 

[RPCB]

Beautiful inning here. 9-2.

 

[RPCB]

5 run inning after giving China a bit of a sniff.

 

[RPCB]

Some rules to keep in mind, but a while until we could get into that territory:

A mercy rule will go into effect during the first round if:

• A team is leading by 15 or more runs after five innings
• A team is leading by 10 or more runs after seven innings

 

[FreoRicci]

On a side note, is there anywhere that are selling the New Balance jerseys? Very hard to get. Would love to get a hat as wel

 

[RPCB]

Wingrove is someone you don’t want to collide into. That is a big unit.
