Lo and behold, this is why they play the game.

You have guys that, you know, came through and they came through big.

And each and every game, you know, it was a little bit tighter for, I guess,

then as well, or then the Americans for the most part.

But the Americans never, ever, ever got their offense going through the whole world

baseball classic.

I mean, the Dominicans were ripping through everybody.

Everybody, you know, Japanese had their day in the sun offensively.

But, I mean, the offense for the United States, if you look at it in totality, was just a struggle.

Yeah, I mean, Bryce Harper was the only one who really did anything last night. He had two of

the three hits, obviously the home run that tied the game. So yeah, it wasn't only Aaron Judge. We're going to focus on Aaron Judge. We're going to focus on Nolan McLean, who was, it was good, you know, to a certain point. Obviously, gave up a couple runs, but everybody was expecting this Venezuelan offense to be much better.

I don't know if you got the same feeling,

but it felt to me like... couple runs, but everybody was expecting this Venezuelan offense to be much better.

I don't know if you got the same feeling, but it felt to me like Joe Davis calling the

game had very little respect for Nolan McLean because he kept saying early on in this game

where he's saying, oh, if you had, you know, zero, zero game into the third with Adwardo

Rodriguez and Nolan McLean, well, good for you because no one saw that coming. I was like, I mean, Nolan McLean is a guy that is a really good pitcher. I mean, he's someone we're really excited about it. He's not some slub. I don't know if he was, I don't know what was going on with that. But I guess a lot of people expected offense last night and that they

shouldn't have because Team USA really has never hit the ball. Well, I think you expect offense because

you think the batters are ahead of the pitchers at this point of the season. And it turned out

that for the most part, the batters aren't ahead of the pitchers. I mean, these were low-scoring

games. It was a tight game with the Americans in the DR. aren't ahead of the pitchers. I mean, these were low-scoring games.

It was a tight game with the Americans in the DR. And now you have a tight game last night. All I can say is that, you know, you got to have some offense. You got, you got, and it was against Eduardo Rodriguez. It was a guy that, you know, last year was 9 and 9. He had an ERA over five. Yeah, but you know, these guys are pitching for their country, so it's different. So they care is what you're saying.
