Around SBN: Jeremy Lin And How The Pac-12 Missed Him

WBC Live Game Day Thread

Hey, so I was hoping there would be some people here watching the WBC, which I have found to be very entertaining so far. I know Korea is down pretty badly right now, 8-2, but their hitters seem to all have great fundamental approaches and some of them really do have the size and bat speed to make it in the majors. They have some SERIOUS pop too. Even though he gave up 8 ERs in 1l.1 IP, I was still impressed with the Korean lefty starter, who seemed to have pretty good stuff but suffered through some of the worst game calling I have ever seen by a catcher. I think Korea has the type of hitting (and on-base ) skills necessary to move on deep into the tourney. Of course, you have to like Japan here, because their team is stacked with great players such as Ichiro, Aki, Dice-K, Yu Darvish, and all the rest of them. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the game goes...
