THE OFFICIAL 2017 WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC THREAD
- Thread starter September
- Start date
Andrew Miller, U.S. fall victim to Dominican rally at World Baseball Classic
A stadium-record crowd of 37,446 — of which perhaps 80 percent were Dominican fans — packed into Marlins Park for a game that had been sold out for weeks. A good number of them brought drums, horns and anything else that made noise, and they unleashed all of it toward Miller as the game reached its climax in the eighth. A hit batter and a groundball single up the middle preceded Cruz’s go-ahead homer, which barely stayed inside the left field foul pole.
The mighty Dominicans have now won 10 straight WBC games, eight of them coming during their undefeated march to the title in 2013. The Americans, meanwhile, have never finished better than fourth place in three previous WBCs, dropping to 11-11 overall with Saturday’s loss. Both the U.S. and Dominican Republic are likely to advance to the second round out of Pool C, with the championship game scheduled for March 22 at Dodger Stadium.

I love baseball. Glad it's back. And I think a platform like this makes more people enjoy how other countries celebrate the game of baseball. I'd love it if more crowds had the energy the Dominicans bring. I'm all about fun and nobody looks like they enjoy what they are doing more 
But I'm just glad we get to watch competitive baseball in March. I'm ready for the season. It's been a long winter
