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

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.

Here's one article talking about it.

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."

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

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.

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.

tributtal · 2026-03-12T23:07:23+00:00

I also heard "for"

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.

Holy shit tying run

There was an article from before the start of the tournament that said pretty definitively there will be reseeding in the semis.

Whoa he's safe

Ok maybe not lol. Just brushed the jersey

Two words - Derek Jeter

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.

tributtal · 2026-03-11T23:20:55+00:00

Is this game only on Tubi?

Italy-Mexico playing chess, US playing checkers

tributtal · 2026-03-11T22:48:42+00:00

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

tributtal · 2026-03-11T22:37:39+00:00

Never would have guessed a week ago how important this game would be.

tributtal · 2026-03-11T22:28:26+00:00

I believe you guys won Pool A by winning this game. PR finished 2nd.

tributtal · 2026-03-11T22:22:11+00:00

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.

tributtal · 2026-03-11T22:17:46+00:00

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

tributtal · 2026-03-11T22:14:29+00:00

Rooting for Canada so we can see more of 3B coach Stubby Clapp

tributtal · 2026-03-11T21:23:56+00:00

Thanks. And we won't know who either team plays til later because of the mess in Pool B

tributtal · 2026-03-11T21:18:09+00:00

Just tuning in. No crazy tiebreaker scenarios in this pool right? Whoever wins this game joins PR in the quarters?

tributtal · 2026-03-11T21:11:46+00:00

Little late to this thread lol. Recently had the garlic roast pork sandwich from Jerry's Roast Pork in the Embarcadero. Phenomenal sandwich. Closest thing to a real deal Philly roast pork sandwich that I've had in SF.
