Seoul Brothers killing Panama. Probably will have pitching lined up for championship game. That's never a good sign for the U.S.

I give New York a pretty fair chance tomorrow. They've got two of their best three arms available. And Harlost looked as dominant in regionals as Mancini looked today.

Did the reliever stay under 20? Just saw score, wasn't watching.

Yes. One pitch in the fifth, and despite the two-run homer in the sixth, pretty quick inning.

Two power pitchers and a battle of nerves. Historically, the American team is usually the first to crack in finals like this.

 

[jr/shotglass]

Awright. Quite happy to be wrong. Damn good ballgame.

Wowie, New York. They play some great baseball.

Also good that we avoided an international incident after the terrible "dead-ball strike" call. The kid didn't swing, but he walked on the next pitch.

 

[jr/shotglass]

Exactly. Was about to say the same.

This did Endwell.

Congrats, USA!

Kind of looked like he went to me. It's one of those things you see at that age, so I didn't question the call at all. My son has been hit by a pitch he's swung at more than once, although much more obviously, I hate to say!

I've seen it a lot too -- along with angry parents who don't understand the rule -- but I thought on that one it was pretty clear he checked up.
