wow, 16-8 in the 5th inning. potential contender for the mercy rule in a couple more innings

We are all praying for mercy at this point.

typos but just going to roll with that for now
Hopefully Canada can get some more runs here, the mercy rule is needed very badly
― giant bat fucker (gyac), Sunday, 12 March 2023 22:39 (three years ago)
Ok. We’re mercy ready. Just need a clean 1/2 inning here. Was good seeing Axford out there.

i like the guy who impersonates the umpire turning to the right and pointing while calling a strike

literally, just yesterday. the Canada/Britain game. i think there was another before that one too.

If I'm reading this right, unless Canada or Great Britain upsets someone, the US basically needs to beat Colombia by eight runs on Wednesday to advance out of the first round of the WBC. https://t.co/8aAlJPUh0o— Stephanie Apstein (@stephapstein) March 13, 2023

i haven't listened to too many smoltz-called games, but it struck me last night how wrong he often is. he kept saying throughout the game that the US basically had nothing to worry about, that they just needed to win their last two games, no need to panic. i kept thinking about the tie-breaker rules, which smoltz would describe as "an algorithm" or as some sort of mysterious advanced machine that was of no concern. dude, the tiebreaker is amount of runs allowed per inning played - getting your ass kicked by mexico was clearly a problem

tbf, beating Colombia by 8 runs doesn't feel unreasonable given the last few days worth of scoring! also: don't dismiss the Canadian juggernaut!

unlike literally everything else about their jerseys, it's actually interesting. they should run with it
― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 13 March 2023 23:16 (three years ago)
lol, wait when did the T go upside down? i guess costs had to be cut somewhere to make ends meet

the 19-year-old canadian pitcher had to pay for the disappointments of the last few US games. feel bad for the kid
― it's a new day in the international landscape (z_tbd), Tuesday, 14 March 2023 02:30 (three years ago)
Not going well for the 19 year old starter Canada’s got going for them… and holy shit John smoltz is intolerable

lol, they also just mentioned a "team cycle" in the first inning
i think of morbs now for how much he would hated all of this lol

I must be channeling him because I am still seething about how awful smoltz was to listen to
― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 14 March 2023 02:51 (three years ago)
12-1, 2nd inning. this might be a 15-run/5-inning mercy candidate

I would have happily watched Canada get smoked for another 3-5 innings, but I just cannot take any more of this this clown that the broadcast is apparently centred around. Goodnight!

looks like puerto rico threw a combined no-hitter against israel

john smoltz does not know the words to a single song. i like that about him though

two scoreless innings in the Canada/Colombia game so far - unthinkable!!

excited to see this Edouard Julien kid make the bigs. some seriously great looking ABs these last three games. Young, Caissie and (to a lesser degree) Robson all look promising too.

big game between Puerto Rico and Dominican Republican tonight, with the winner advancing. wish i could watch!
venezuela was the only team besides japan to go 4-0 in "pool play" (still having trouble saying or thinking "pool play")
