Post-game
Well that call was ridiculous. It should be runners at the corners with Tatis coming up, but instead it’s all over and I can’t wait to never see that happen again in a big game with the coming of ABS. Man, that is just one of the worst calls in a big spot I have ever seen. We’re talking Don Dekinger bad.
But overall, it was a very well played, tight, exciting ballgame. Despite the USA lineup once again being thwarted, this time by a so-so Dominican bullpen, they are though and will face either Venezuela or Italy in the final. Paul Skenes was his usual impressive self, and the US bullpen did some serious lifting against huge DR bats, so this win goes to the whole of the pitching staff the team put together. Tremendous job in relief, no question.
That’s all from us at the Guardian – we’re glad you stuck with us throughout our WBC live coverage. We’ll be back for the final, so we’ll see you soon. And of course, wherever you are, good morning, good afternoon or goodnight.
