WBC was/is so much better. Glad baseball is back in the olympics though. 

I watched Japan / DR.   Looked like Japan was going to lose until the 9th.  Brisk game though.

I think the CWS champion should be the team that represents us in the Olympics.

Oops, Japan was the home team.  Anyway, going to extras now.  Japan tied it on an RBI grounder.  Manfred ball coming up!

Oh, it's juiced up Manfred ball.  Runners start on 1st and 2nd.  Todd Frazier leading off - I'm sure he'll be able to bunt them over.

Japan's pinstripe jerseys are pretty nice

US doesn't score in the top of the 10th.

Bunt them over, double off the wall to get 'em in.  Easy game.

Japan goes to the semis.  

US will now have to beat the winner of Dominican Republic-Israel and then the loser of Japan-South Korea to make the final.  If I'm reading this fucked up bracket right.

Appreciate the updates  !

Dominican Republic beat Israel 7-6.  Now, we play DR tonight at 10.  Loser finishes in 4th, winner is guaranteed at least a bronze.

Interesting. I would like to see this game.

Um...anybody have any ideas on how I might do that?

NBC Sports App. You should be able to download it from any smart tv, roku, or from the app store.

But Kazmir gets a couple ground balls and we get out of it. USA! USA!

Um...I have to work tomorrow though so I probably won't last much past the 3rd inning. Hopefully NBC app lets me catch a replay tomorrow.

Holy shit their 1B is fat. Even by Latin 1B standards. 

If the DR needs this dude to go 5 like they're saying they might be in trouble.

Yeah Reyes threw at least 30 pitches that inning. He won't last four innings at this rate, I hope DR's bullpen is as bad as they say.

Weird getting used to Covid ball again. Not even any cardboard fans.

Wish we had made Reyes throw a few more pitches there.

Ah well. Still 2-0 USA. I am going to bed, hopefully I can watch these guys in the gold medal game next.

Not sure

i just know nbc sports app is what I just downloaded on my phone and it works

 

roku tv is tied up with Astros/Dodgers 

yeah, having the NBC app and the Peacock app wasn't enough for me to watch THE FUCKING OLYMPICS. i had to download a third NBC app just to watch THE FUCKING OLYMPICS. whoever the head of NBC is, i hope he dies in the next 5-10 minutes. jesus christ what a bunch of bullshit.

NBC just rocketed ahead of FOX for my most hated network for sports. seriously fuck everyone responsible for this retarded shit. 

What's funny is the nbcolympics website is actually pretty great if you have a cable login.

It's trying to watch it on an actual TV that seems to have been a nightmare for everyone.

The nbc sports app is pretty great too.  It has live streams and replays of just about everything.  I think maybe there's some peacock exclusive stuff but nothing I've wanted to watch.

Austin crushed that ball. You knew it was gone off the bat. 

Our first one was gone off the bat, too. Not quite as crushed as that one.

i like how NBC, an American broadcasting company, is showing the pitches in km/hr but not mph. 140 km/hr sounds pretty fast, but since our dumbass country is stubborn to teach the metric system i really have zero concept as to how hard he's actually throwing.
