Announcers are asking why Bard was left in so long. Seems like the answer is, DeRosa didn't have anyone warmed up.
Yeah, can't just bring a TV commentator to come manage a baseball team. Doesn't work like that.
Maybe we can still lose and advance due to some tiebreaker rules? Let me check on that....

Alright top of the lineup. We need a rally here.
Betts
Trout
Goldschmidt
That is scary for any pitchers. |

Yeah he is. I was surprised he wasn't in this tournament.
Edit: Just googled it and he also has insurance issues.

| I'm impressed by our new LF David Peralta. Dude plays good defense and he's had good ABs. |

Luis Arraez just hit his 2nd HR of the game.
A reminder that this dude won the batting title last yr and then got traded in the offseason by the Twins:
| Quote: | The Minnesota Twins have traded the reigning American League batting champion Luis Arraez to the Maimi Marlins for right-handed starting pitcher Pablo Lopez and two prospects.
The stunning news was confirmed by the Twins, who send their fan favorite infielder to Miami for Lopez, shortstop Jose Salas and a 17-year-old prospect. Salas is rated the No. 93 prospect in all of baseball in the latest Baseball Prospectus rankings. He's 19 years old and was the No. 5 prospect in the Marlins' organization, per MLB Pipeline.

No worries. These are high scoring games with a potent lineup. These last 6 outs will be hard for Venezuela to get. |
