WBC: USA vs Japan
by Zu Long on Mar 22, 2009 5:01 PM PDT
Email
PrintIt's the USA vs Japan in the WBC semi-finals, playing to determine who faces Korea in the Championship game, and who goes back to spring training.
The Team USA is hurting, and without a real first baseman. Tonight they send out Roy Oswalt to face a Japanese lineup led by Ichiro Suzuki. Daisuke Matsuzaka will take the mound for the Japanese.
Questions abound for this game. Who will play first base? Will the US get demolished like Venezuela? Have I reached 80 words yet? Will anyone else besides me post in this topic? We'll find out.

Matsuzaka is such a junk ball pitcher
its no wonder he hardly ever goes 6 innings

I watched him against Cuba and was surprised by how he came right after guys.
Apparently he affords Major Leaguers a lot more respect than other guys.
~Till the Halo burns out...
Wow. I can't believe Aoki got back to that ball.
Looked like it was hit harder than that.

Does anyone know why the USA has 4 3rd basemen and no first basemen?
Seems kinda lopsided.
Plugging the upside since 2006.
Never give up, never surrender!
you can only replace injured players on your roster
with players that were on the provisional roster.
apparently, they never thought Youk would get hurt, so the only other 1B was Derek Lee, who is currently recovering from a slight quad injury.
Longoria is just there for depth.

You know, any decent right fielder could make a play out of that.
Dunn didn’t even try.

he knows his arm sucks?
i thought the same thing, but maybe we’re spoiled by Vlad’s over-agressiveness.

You were right the first time.
And yes, his arm sucks. I was just commenting on that.
~Till the Halo burns out...
That's because Dunn isn't anything close to a decent rightfielder.
Longoria’s probably got a better arm.

~Till the Halo burns out...
couldn't we have benched Jeter?
start Rollins at SS and let Longoria DH.
Jeter can’t hit jack!
Kotch would've had that.
Yeah Joe.
Without A-Rod, how will that lineup hit? They only have Teixeira, Posada, Matsui, Xavier Nady, Johnny Damon and Robinson Cano. I don’t know how they’ll do it.
~Till the Halo burns out...
They have Jeter too. Bottom line is that on paper even without A-Rod
The Yanks have a better than average lineup.

It's really interesting to see how differently Matsuzaka treated the Cuban hitters.

Matsuzaka up over 60 pitches.
If nothing else, US is getting Dice-K out of the game early.

OT
but does anyone else think Wood could hit somewhere close to what Braun did in 08?

Possible, but unlikely.
On the upside, Wood’s D is so much better it’s not even funny.

The other problem is that he plays in a tougher league

Man, the way these Japanese guys swing at left-handed pitching

Not like this
Go to one of these games with Korea or Japan playing.
The support, the cheering, the way they KNOW when to cheer.
There was not ONE “cheer-o-meter” or fake crowd sounds. Nothing. The fans knew that a 3-2 count even with one out was something to cheer for. Not one really monkey, nothing to pump up the crowd.
People in the US show up to the game, drink beer, and cheer when the scoreboard tells them to. Except for, you know, everyone reading this.

It wasn't really a hard call to make.
The sad part is that ultimately the US is in this position because of bad defense. That whole inning, as well as Oswalt’s 5 run debacle, doesn’t happen if the US just makes the plays they’re supposed to.

Dunn benefited from playing in a bandbox with the Reds
As well as getting to face AAAA pitching.

I don't like him striking out three times with Rollins on base.
Look above when he actually came through for me signing his praises.
I’m just annoyed at losing a game like that.

Wow
SS – Jeter
DH – Rollins
RF – Dunn
Genius.
replacement level analysis
Bring on the excuses...
when no excuses can be made. The USA got beat. Time to go home with our tails between our legs and try to re-group for the next one. Better preparation and less focus on spring training pitch counts and a focus on defense (no jeter, PLEASE).
Congrats to the Japanese and Korean teams for doing so well with so few MLB’ers.
