Who pitches tomorrow for US?

Derek Holland vs. Jameson Tallison

[Mike in STL]

If Canada gets in another fight today, will Justin Morneau and Joe Mauer throw down with each other? Lol

[You Play to Win the Game]

Mourneau doubles to lead off the 2nd, and Michael Saunders blasts a homer to RF to give the Canadians a 2-0 lead. Holland looks very hittable.

3 RBIs for Jones today..including go ahead 2 run double in 8th.

Huge GW double. Great game for him.

I was watching with the wife and I started getting pumped, I do not care if people do not like it, I do and I hope it stays. I have watched probably 7 full games. It's baseball and it is back.

I don't get why you wouldn't like it. I wish it was at a different time of the year but I'm not sure any time makes more sense than when they do it either.

It's the best time to do it. Doing it during the season isn't plausible. Doing it after the season would be difficult, asking the players to start up again just after ending. There's really no "good" time to do it.

It would be like goalies in a hockey fight. They'd pair off and grapple a bit so that they didn't get involved in the main stuff

Pretty much every decently high profile player in the WBC got a phone call and lecture after that mess. If there had been another fight they would have been standing in the dugout looking around awkwardly.

i watched the Italy/Doms game earlier, and the enthusiasm on this Dominican team is so cool to see..

There's like a comfort level (best way I can describe it) with these guys when they're around each other that is awesome to watch. They jump out of the dugout on every RBI, and have these little hand gestures, handshakes, high five thingys...etc that makes you want to root for them. You really don't see that with any other squad.

That being said, GO USA!

[BSLChrisStoner]

US up 3-0 on Puerto Rico in the 7th.

Great game of Americans playing Americans.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Jones with an RBI single, US up 4-0.

As you watch the game, check out my thoughts on the value of the WBC for baseball in general:

I know I railed against this whole thing and still think it could be better. That said, I'm more intrigued by this than I thought I'd be. Don't get me wrong, I care much more about the O's, but this is significantly more appealing than typical ST games.

Also, Profar is joining The Netherlands for their Semi-Final.

[NewMarketSean]

I'm excited for the game tonight. Should be a great atmosphere, I wish I could be there.

[You Play to Win the Game]

This is the premiere match-up of the whole WBC, IMO. Should be a great game.

[You Play to Win the Game]

What a treat this game has been tonight.
