Wow!

Great WBC game, Japan comes back in the ninth from down 1.

Instant classic. The players really, really care. Japanese viewership for the last game was 65 million people.

Trout vs. Otani for the title tomorrow night.

The Mexican initiated the hug! An American would have kicked the "Jap's" ass for mocking the US loss.

Intros going on now Trout leads USA out carrying the flag, Ohtani carries the Japanese flag.

Good stuff.

First pitch in half an hour.

Ah, I thought Mexico-Japan was the final given the excitement.

US-Japan Championship in Miami start "Delayed". Not sure why. TV: FS1

Edit: 1930 EDT, has begun.

Hey, you only posted it twice. I'm an old stoner, and it's hard for me to ever focus on baseball details :P , especially when Japan is going nuts and Mexicans are huggy. :D

You called it.

Shohei Ohtani closes out the WBC championship for Japan by getting fellow Angels teammate Mike Trout to strike out to end the game. (video)
More than I ever thought possible. :doh:

Whodathunk San Diego would have to delay opening day game for rain? First time ever. Starts at 6:40 PDT. Temp at game time 57. It's a strange world.

So I'd never paid all that much attention to Opening Day before, but this year with high expectations from the boys in brown, there was a lot of hoopla. All the local news people had their Padres shirts on, and had live telecasts from an empty stadium hours before the game. Businesses had Opening Day tie-in promotions. Apparently there was a record amount of merch sold. Then it started to go downhill as the game was delayed for weather; lots of people on queue in the rain for hours, but enthusiasm stayed high. Lots of talk about "this is our year" for World Series.

Wrong side of 7-2. Opps. Meanwhile, at least for once in the season, the A's are 1.000.
