Load the bases with walks.. get him out of there.
Fly out! I hate flirting with disaster like that. Glad it ended well.

3-2 bottom of the 8th. USA has one more inning to win it
Ohtani throwing 99 -100 mph Damn!
Japan's pitching was too much for the USA bats. Good game.
I thought that 9th inning walk would have us going but the double play killed us.
Japan wins 3-2
Japan wins 3-2
Now the Yankees will land Ohtani for $50 mil a year
Getting to the top of the order with one on and no outs looked good for a minute.
I'm to drunk, to be sad for USA. I am of Japanese decent, but I'm American first....... gonna drink some more.
Both teams had a great tournament. I was rooting for USA but Japan was superior in that game. We struggled with their pitching and swung at a lot of stuff out of the strike zone.
I'm very happy for Shohei,.....what a special athlete he is.
They have to make the World Baseball Classic either yearly or biyearly. Every four years isn't going to cut it. Just like having the Olympics every four years didn't cut it.
I vote for yearly and play less preseason. At least the Classic games mean something.

I wish it was sooner. The 2023 games were fun to watch. The next World Baseball Classic is in 2026
