The Dominican pitcher throws a ball to a Venezuelan hitter
and gets injured. On comes a pitcher from Canada. He throw a ball over his head, and the hitter twists down and pulls a muscle. The pinch-hitter is a LH American batter, so the manager brings in LH Puerto Rican pitcher, who throws a ball. The pitcher passes out from dehydration and is replaced by a LH prospect from Panama who throws ball four.
And then you have an International Walk

Look at it this way
the offense was NAILS despite facing an elite starter. Three hitters we wanted to see perform well to get off to a good start – Iannetta (soph slump), Tulo (traditionally slow starts) and Smith (perilous starting position?) ALL hit huge home runs. And Stewart did fine at 2B
Really the only down side of today was Cook….he was just WAY down.
