With the two lineups last night, especially for the Dominican Republic, kind of hard to believe that this held up as the game winner and capped the scoring in the top of the fourth last night in Miami. Live ball, right-seterfield. Rodriguez in touch. He's going back. Here it is good. Robert Anthony gives the U.S. the lead. Joe Davis on FS1. So you had Gunner Henderson getting Luis Severino for a solo homer in the fourth. And then later in the frame, as you just heard, Albert Pujols goes to Gregory Soto, lefty on lefty, but Anthony takes him deep. And that's how it ended, a 2-1 victory for the United States. With those two strikeouts. Getting to him, because the DR, despite only scoring the one run, certainly had their chances. Bases loaded two outs in the fourth. Paul Skeen's got out of that. Go ahead. No, do you think the, I would assume so, do you think the judge throw of Tatisa III changed the way they ran the bases? Because it certainly felt like that. Chris McMonigle said it was the game-changing play.

He'd stick it up for his Yankee captain.

I don't know if it was game changing or not, but he was like that was the turning point of the game. Like they don't, Al, what do you always say about it when you're on seconding and base it to the outfield? What do you do as the runner? You go, you make them make the throw, and make them make the tag. Austin Wells doesn't come around on the ball to center field.

I think it was Pete Carr Armstrong and center.

And the throw home make him make the tag. Austin Wells doesn't come around on the ball the center of field. I think it was Pete Carr Armstrong and center. And the throw home is 10 feet wide of home plate. And I wonder if Judge doesn't throw out Tatis if they send him in that spot. Possibly because they were the Dominican Republic very aggressive on the base pads in the tournament. Yeah. And then Judge Hoses. If they were on playing against them.

He just wiped out everybody. Yes, I know. His arms obviously feeling good. I will say Derek Jeter made the point that you just made on the post game. Me and Jeeze? He did. That after that throw, it completely changed the way at the Dominican Republic. I mean, at least in that one spot, it certainly felt like it. It was 95.7 miles per hour, so I guess the elbow's feeling okay for Judge, which is great. So where were bases loaded in the fourth, in the fourth, two outs, they didn't score. First and second, one out in the fifth. Tyler Rogers comes on and gets a double playgrounder to get out of the inning. You mentioned David Bednar, second and third one out. He cade Fernando Tatis Jr. And he could tell Marte to escape. And then in the ninth, tying run and scoring position, Mason Miller, strikes out Geraldo Prudomo looking on a pitch that was. Soto 2 in the 8th inning. Yes. The same pitch. Correct. Not a strike? Right. And why, if you're doing it in major league baseball with the ABS, I wonder why they didn't

do it, put it into this. I mean, let me just say something. That ball is so close you got to swing. Might have Carlos Beltron against the Cardinals. It's not a strike, though. Swing, that ball's too close. It's not, though.

You can't, I don't care.

I mean, it's baseball.

How long we watch games that end on pitches like that?

Oh, you don't care. I mean, it's baseball.

How long we watch games that end on pitches like that? Well, you don't have to anymore because we have the technology to actually call a strike or strike and a ball in a ball and law. So you want them to use it every page, every inning. Yeah, you've got the technology. Let's go. Let's use it. And enough with the challenge situation, have a guy up in the booth telling you for the strike or not.

And listen, you can make the case.

Stop sweating. challenge situation, have a guy up in the booth telling you for the strike or not.

And listen, you can make the case. Stop swinging at bad pitches. These aren't seven-year-old kids. Look, how about going out of the trying to go out of the baseline? Yeah, how about that? Camin arrow, yeah. I mean, you have some crazy stuff that went on here, but really what it was all about for the USA and let's face it.

It was the same thing for the hockey team.

The hockey team was goal prevention. that went on here but really what it was all about for the USA and let's face it it was the

same thing for the hockey team the hockey team was goal prevention for the USA baseball team it was
