no

but he's the nastiest pitcher on the Japanese team, imo.

Every pitch has movement.

The nerves got to him.

Korea has no power hitters now - Kim Tae Kyun and Lee Dae Ho are gone.
Only Choo Shin Soo remains

Yeah, I was thinking the same.

 

[DanTMWTMP]

Damn, 1st/3rd, 1 out... Japan doing the usual.

 

[Baked]

Holy crap, this is some game! Men on corners, 1 out! JPN is gonna score!

[TallBill]

Jesus, Ichiro is godly.

 

[DanTMWTMP]

Ichiro... Damn! Game over that was a great game

 

[dbk]

UGH I HATE YOU WEIRDOS

 

[dbk]

Let's just have Korea and Japan play each other for a month and call it the WBC

 

[sash1]

waaaaah!!! gg

 

[dbk]

The Yankees will pay whatever money to get Darvish.

I wonder what Hank Steinbrenner is thinking right now

 

[skim milk]

Regardless, Korea gained a lot of respect as a baseball powerhouse this year

I wonder if any of the Korean players will garner MLB interest.

There's already affluent amount of Japanese players in the majors.

 

[DanTMWTMP]

Man, even though I feel down that Korea lost, that was a great great game. Insane defense, timely offense, etc.

 

[Dacalo]

Wow what a game. I am pissed Koreans lost (I am Korean) but I gotta give Japan props. They did have the upper hand and made some great plays; their pitching was awesome. Hopefully Koreans will learn from this painful experience and come back stronger in next WBC.
