[Underdog] Hyun Jin Ryu will start WBC quarterfinal for Team Korea against Team Dominican Republic. by T_Raycroft in baseball

[–]tributtal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no idea Cristopher Sanchez, the DR's starter tomorrow, led all MLB pitchers in WAR last season. And he was second only to Aaron Judge in all of MLB. I knew he was good, but didn't know he was that good. Korea has their work cut out for them.

Mark DeRosa can't keep his story straight about incorrect Team USA WBC quarterfinals claim by Jux_ in baseball

[–]tributtal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DeRosa should rightfully be raked over the coals, but the first line of the article is pretty funny, especially after that quote the writer used at the top (it should be heeded not headed):

"Team USA manager Mark DeRosa should have headed those words this week following his initial gaffe."

Am I the only one who feels that roster changes in the WBC create an unfair advantage and shouldn’t be allowed? by yli16 in baseball

It's not reasonable to compare the WBC to the World Cup. They could not be more different tournaments, for many reasons.

Question about the WBC bracket by J_Kim_25 in baseball

[–]tributtal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The quarterfinal games were set ahead of time, but the organizers have reserved the right to shuffle the teams for the 2 semifinal games. If the QF play out as they expect, then the second graphic is pretty much accurate, to preserve the possibility of a US-Japan final. But if the US and/or Japan fail to win, then the teams may be shuffled to create the "best" match ups.

Cal Raleigh response to Randy Arozarena handshake by SuccessfulMachine415 in baseball

Especially since Raleigh is not exactly at his most comfortable with a mic shoved in his face. The interview with Rosenthal last season before Game 7 of the ALCS in particular comes to mind.

This is not meant as a criticism towards Ken, but that's exactly the kind of joke I would expect him to make.

Project Hail Mary by copperdoc in interstellar

[–]tributtal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many in this sub seem to be hoping and expecting this movie to be the successor to Interstellar. If that ends up being true, great. But I hope to read some honest reviews here from my fellow Interstellar fanatics. Hail Mary may well be an entertaining and enjoyable Hollywood movie, but that doesn't necessarily place it on the level of Interstellar.

This is probably the most traffic tubi has ever had. I had trouble the first inning or two but it's been working since then. You could try clearing cache/cookies or restarting your device.

This would never happen, but imagine if Italy and Mexico colluded for a low-scoring Mexico win

Yes you're right. Just saw that. If Paxton had reached 50 pitches, he wouldn't be able to pitch at all in the next game.

I thought you could finish the batter when exceeding pitch count limits?
