so why doesn't baseball have instant replay? it's not like football with a bunch of subjective contact calls.

 

[SirChadwick]

Hate to say it guys... but Japan won this game. Horrible call by the US ump.

Let the controversy begin.

ya, US didn't play well. Umps seemed to be biased to the US team.

US deserved to lose, playing like that. Japan definitely got snubbed.

not sure on that. if anything it should be 4-4 tie with US having bases loaded with 2 outs.

so possible that us would have won anyway.

but with the way they are playing they are not going to win it all.

thats the way the game is, and will be.

too many baseball purists to ever put a replay rule in

It was base loaded one out for Japan in 8th. Sacrifice fly would only be 2 outs with runners still in first and second.

right. but who is to say they would have scored. just as it is possible the US may not have scored anymore.

 

[SP33Demon]

Love the WBC, it's actually real baseball.

 

[Al Neri]

i agree, my dad says im the only person watching it. good to see others are too

edit:my boy just called, he was at the game!!! im fsckin jealous!!

 

[raystorm]

Puerto Rico vs Dominican Republic is about to start. Should be a great game! Bartolo Colon is starting for DR and Javier Vazquez for PR.

 

[Al Neri]

GREAT GAME!! LETS GO PUERTO RICO!! BELTRAN BABY!

 

[raystorm]

Excellent game!! Viva Puerto Rico! Nice to see Beltran hitting well..he better do that in a Mets uniform!


That DR lineup is ultra stacked though and Javy Vazquez did a heck of a job against that lineup.

what was up with the hairstyle that most of the Japanese players were sporting?
that long section of hair in front of their ears was supposed to be like sideburns?
