I didn’t even think Colombia even played baseball and we barely beat them. That doesn’t bode well for the US.
They were facing Jose Quintana, one of the best pitchers in MLB. Once Quintana left, they started hitting bette. (We had Chris Archer going for USA.)
They have the tough Dominican team Saturday. The Dominicans ran through the tournament undefeated four years ago. And they pounded Canada the other night.
The Dominicans are throwing Edinson Volquez against Marcus Stroman for Team USA.
But this is the best US team we’ve fielded in the Classic. It should be a doozy.
Two teams from each pool move on. Barring something unforeseen, the USA and the DR should be the two from Pool D.
A single with runners on first and third won it in the bottom of the tenth.
Cause we fail to field our best players.
Can’t afford to get em hurt ya know.
Trout?
