2021 Olympics USA Men’s Baseball Team Thread

[mmc]

Solo shot for Tyler Austin makes it 3-0 for the US.  Kazmir has pitched 5 scoreless.

[mmc]

The game is now being aired live on CNBC as well NBCOlympics.com

I really wish team USA had names on the backs of their jerseys

DR 2B Gustavo Nunez gets injured on a swing, their lone healthy bench player, Yefri Perez, replaces him

[mmc]

Probably my favorite thing about this tournament are the badass bullpen carts.  I’d love to see these in the majors

 

[mmc]

The DR ends the shutout with a solo home run for Charlie Valerio off David Robertson with 2 outs in the 9th

[mmc]

And DRob walks the next batter.  Perez comes to the plate as the tying run.

[mmc]

Robertson strikes out Perez and the USA wins 3-1.  They will play the loser of Japan vs South Korea game starting at 3 AM.

[Second Base]

They already beat South Korea. Hopefully they get a rematch with Japan.

I'd love to say that I've watched every pitch of Team USA's Olympic run, but....

Haha, I'm basically running this as a one man thread and even I've only watched one game, the DR tournament one.  I would definitely watch more if they weren't all on at 3 AM though.  The gold medal game is also on at 3 but I'm going to watch it anyways.

Knowing the Angels, Raisel would probably get his foot run over by one of these and have to miss 18 months.

They do not play them on delay during normal hours.

Yes. The typhoon will be closest to Yokohama on the night of the 7th of Japan time.
The match may be postponed due to the rain.

I picture Johnny from Airplane! saying "Just like our rotation" instead of "Just like Gerald Ford"

[FromJapan]

Until now (15:20 Japan time), there is no rescheduling announcement. 

At 18:10 Japan time, NHK (public broadcaster) announced that "the final match will be held as scheduled."
