PrintHere is your WBC Update for Tuesday
Pool 1 - San Diego, CA, USA:
MEXICO HAS BEEN ELIMINATED
Cuba: 7, Mexico: 2
Despite a late flurry of longballs from Jorge Cantu and Christhian Presichi, Cuba put the Mexican squad away soundly. Cuban Starter Norge Vera exited in the 5th inning with leg cramps, and Pedro Luis Lazo pitched the final 4.1 innings to keep Cuba alive and send the Mexican team packing.
Lines of the game:
Mexico 3B Jorge Cantu: 2-3, R, RBI, HR
Cuba LF Frederich Cepeda: 3-4, R, 4RBI
Japan and Korea battle tonight (9PM MT, MLBN) in the "battle of the winners" to give one team an automatic berth to the next round, and sending the loser to an elimination matchup with Team Cuba.
------------------------------
Pool 2 - Miami, FL, USA
Venezuela: 2, Puerto Rico: 0
An absolute pitcher's duel and possibly one of the best battled games we've seen so far this WBC, the Venezuela squad stood up to Puerto Rico's sound thrashing of all their opponents so far and sent them into a win-or-go-home matchup with Team USA. USA had been Mercy Rule'd 2 days prior, and Puerto Rico looked near unstoppable. Despite some wildness from starter Felix Hernandez, the Venezuelan team did not allow any PR baserunners to convert. PR Starter Ian Snell looked arguably sharper than did King Felix, striking out 5 and walking only 2.
Lines of the game:
Venezuela SP Felix Hernandez: 4.2IP, 4H, 7K, 4BB, 0R
Puerto Rico SP Ian Snell: 4.0IP, 5H, R, 5K, 2BB
Venezuela C Ramon Hernandez: 3-4, R, RBI, HR
Tonight, Team USA will play Puerto Rico in an elimination matchup that promises to continue the trend of excellent baseball we've been seeing so far this whole tournament.
In fact, it's starting...Right now! Ted Lilly v Jonathan Sanchez, MLBN

We've said it before
they don’t know how to manage a game. Put the best defensive alignment out that you can with the bats that are available. That means Rollins>Jeter

They couldn't have picked two better catchers to team up with.
Both offensively and defensively, with the possible exception of Mauer. But that makes three exceptional choices.

There are minor league teams in both places.
But the cities are large enough to take an MLB team, and fans might actually care.
"A great catch is like watching girls go by; the last one you see is always the prettiest." ~Bob Gibson

Indy
has a more stable population than Las Vegas does, and people who live in Indianapolis do NOT associate themselves with other cities. (Some Cubs fans there, but not for the most part)
Las Vegas, OTOH, has a much more transient population that’s just not conducive to building a fan base. Let ‘em keep cheering for the 51’s and the Dodgers, Dbacks, and Rockies.

Pretty good starting pitching in this game...
Korea’s Bong allowed only 3 hits and 1 run in 5.1 innings. Japan’s 21yr old Darvish is a special pitcher. His delivery is jerky and tough to replicate leading to the 3 runs, 2 earned in the 1st inning. He then followed that inning with 4 innings of shutout ball. He’s got a nasty curve and slider, with a mid 90’s fastball.
