¡Beísbol!
Team Venezuela claimed the WBC crown with a gripping 3-2 win over pre-tourney favorites Team USA. I must point out that the San Francisco Giants were all over this. Luis Arráez, the Giants new second baseman, started the winning rally in the 9th with a walk. That’s right, a walk. This is from the man who walks 5% of the time! Giants reliever José Buttó contributed a scoreless inning. Team Venezuela had a seriously great bullpen. Arraez was 8-for-26 (4 2B, 2 HR, 6 R, 10 RBI, 3 BB, 2 SO) in seven games and Buttó was unscored upon in 5-1/3 IP over five games (1 H, 1 K).
Team USA had Logan Webb, of course, and he was a stud, but not available for the final. Former Giants pitcher and one of my all-time favorite players, Tyler Rogers, also pitched for Team USA. He got a big double play against Team Dominican Republic the night before last, and he got two big outs in the 9th tonight. The USA-Dominican Republic game was also a gripping contest. It was too bad that an obvious ball four was called strike three to end the D.R.’s chance at a comeback, you hate to see games end like that, but it was otherwise an exciting match.
I think the WBC has been very entertaining and it’s clear that baseball is a truly international game. I really enjoyed seeing all the different players from all the different places. It seems to work fitting it in during Spring Training. Thankfully lots of games were on free, off-the-air TV (Fox) and the rest could be followed via Gameday.
Giants play the Dodgers tomorrow.
