May be an image of 2 people, people standing and text that says 'The greatest power hitter in baseball history posing for a photo with Mike Trout. NGELS 27'

I love those stories - a guy shows up a pitcher and after 7 years and changing teams twice, the next time they face each other:  bean ball.

It's stupid, but it's awesome.

Soooo Gavin Lux is out for the year with a torn ACL for the Dodgers.  We don't have the depth for that kind of thing anymore.  
LA will finish 2nd in the West to the Padres this year.

USA puts up a 9 spot in the first inning on Canada. Enjoying the classic Hulk Hogan entrance song.

I think with GBR upsetting Colombia, we are back to controlling our own destiny.  What would be nice is to mercy rule them, considering all of the pitch count restrictions in this tournament

Turns out you can't just steal baseball players developed in the US, so they are out of ideas

China:
1-8 vs Japan
5-8 vs Czech
2-12 vs Australia
2-22 vs Korea
.
Totals:  outscored 50-10
.
Worse than that, they (I assume) refused to be in the same pool as Taiwan (ie - Chinese Taipei).  It's a little bitch move for both China (knowing they'd be curb-stomped) and by MLB (for catering to China for future $$$).
