WBC一次ラウンドでは投打ともに圧倒的な力を発揮し、全勝で決勝ラウンドに進出したチームジャパン。
その一次ラウンドでの戦いぶりとチームジャパンの強さについて決勝ラウンドでの戦いはどうなるか、インターネット番組で議論されていました。
皆さんのチームジャパンへの評価は全てにおいて優れていて欠点という欠点がなさそうという感じでした。
イタリア戦の解説では広角に強い打撃でホームランと二塁打を放った
岡本選手のパワーに驚いていたのが印象的でした。
中国戦での視聴率が46%とツイートされていた件についても触れられていました。
ヌートバー効果ということもあり、できればもう少し触れて欲しかった感想もあります。
チームジャパンはもうすでに日本を経ちマイアミに到着しているようです。
時差ぼけがやや心配な面がありますが、次の試合まで3日ほどあり影響がないことを願います。
準決勝はメキシコとの対戦となりました。
エンゼルスで大谷選手と仲の良いチームメイトのサンドバル投手が投げる予定の様です。
大谷選手と水原一平通訳に連絡をするかとの質問には
「現在彼らは友達じゃない、もう終わったよ、一時停止だ」
とジョークを交え笑顔で答えていたようで、本人も相当嬉しいでしょう。
フレッチャー選手に引き続き、楽しみな対戦となりました。
また熱い戦いを期待しています。

WBC highlights from the Tokyo dome in Japan early this morning and yes Stateside there was a sadness at satrielle’s Delicatessen because team Italy bowed out today uh Mike piazza’s guys played well shoheiotani’s second World Baseball Classic appearance top of the second no score Strikes Out Vinnie pasquitino 102.
Jesus fastest pitch since 2018 bringing a little extra fuzz in his homeland uh Kazuma akamoto gave him some help offensively three-run shot look at the crowd there yeah that Tokyo Dome was rocking top of the fifth same score ohtani in trouble uh and it’s Dominic Fletcher his teammate David Fletcher uh plays with
The angels as a teammate of shoheiotani little irony shohei was done after four and two thirds gave up tour and struck out five it’s a two-run game hey the Italians have a pulse here bottom of the fifth Japan still leading 4-2-2 on for munataka muranami Otani would score
On this wall ball Japan takes 5-2 lead next batter back to akamoto he doubles to right two run score and now Japan’s Off to the Races Man Bo look at those that’s the whole field the whole whole field they dropped the ball we were thinking the same thing there watching this
Get ready for this cat Red Sox fans because Boston paid a lot of money to import masutaki Yoshida solo Homer 8-2 Japan [Applause] to the ninth it’s a 9-3 lead Italy down to their last out their last shot of espresso their last finger sandwich and Japan advances to the semi-final of
The World Baseball Classic with a 9-3 Victory pretty impressive was team Japan throughout pool play in a very comfortable setting at the Tokyo Dome it’s the way the bracket sets up Japan is the favorite to win the whole thing and we’ve seen why after a very dominant
Pool play round team Japan has been a juggernaut impressive we mentioned a moment ago Bo that they’re the odds on favorite to win the whole thing it doesn’t matter where you shop everybody really likes Japan to win a third title tell us why well it doesn’t matter what
Language you’re speaking if you look in a dictionary of baseball right now you’re probably going to see a picture of the Japan baseball team because they are playing every facet of the baseball game the way it’s supposed to be played they built this roster to win a championship and it all starts with
Otani on the on the bump you’re gonna get a front of the rotation arm it’s top of the Zone fastballs it’s the split finger that runs down out of the Zone he’s going to hit his spots he sets the tone for this team and when you start to
Get to their Bullpen arms you’re going to start to watch the catcher here you’re going to see the catcher don’t move defensively they’re gonna make all of the plays they’re gonna make the defensive plays you’re gonna have to beat them when they get into crucial situations you’re gonna see they’re able
To get the ground ball double play and when you start to look at their offense it starts with pohotani that’s a Hank and breaking ball that he hits out of the ballpark he can play long ball he’s also able to play short ball they want
To shift he drags bunt he gets on base he sets the stage for his ball Club when you start to look at this team in its entirety what you’re gonna get is the ABCs of baseball ohtani hits a double down the line here the next batter comes
Up he hooks a ground ball to second base he gets him over the next batter steps into the baddest box this is the ABCs of baseball situation new hitting they’ve played the game the way it’s supposed to be played and when Otani comes out of the game here come Mr Darvish who also
Can strike people out they have pinpoint command they catch us do a tremendous job of calling games and again defensively they’re gonna make all the plays when you get to the back end of this Bullpen it’s power and why is that so important because if they have a lead
They’re striking people out the ball is not going to get put in place it’s top of the Zone it’s 100 miles an hour and then it’s the split finger falling off the table and the biggest equalizer in this entire tournament is Otani in a winner take all one game this is the guy
That the tournament is going to go through because Japan will have him on the map changeups slider the split change I should say slider that he started to incorporate last year there’s so many weapons just with him uh this from the game day MLB yes and you look
At this tweet when you talk about plan for your country and and the Japan players 46 of the households in Japan was tuned in to watch this classic that means a lot to these players this is more important to them than probably the World Series is probably two other
Players that play here in the U.S so let me get that right half the households with TVs yes in the country the other half was at the game the Tweet was being cheeky saying it was a large Newt bar effect you know a lot more than that to your point it’s vital
In that country it’s much more than just a Pastime it’s very important it’s extremely important when you look at the Japan roster and them having their best players that’s that leaves a lot to be desired even when you start to look at the USA roster and nothing against the
Players on the roster but until the end of time baseball starts at end with pitching and if you’re the USA and you look at this board here and the number of pitchers these are USA USA born pitchers that are the top nine pitchers in our game that
Are not on the USA roster imagine having three or four of these guys it changes the whole dynamic of how Mark DeRosa would manage that team team Japan doesn’t have this problem because they have their best players on their roster wow I mean that speaks volumes here it
Would be an equalizer if d-ro had access to anybody on that list he does not so we talk about our players constituting an All-Star game I say our meeting the American players we’re not as familiar with most of the players on team Japan’s roster with some exceptions of course
Japanese fans know that they’ve got a country filled with All-Stars on that team as well they’ve outscored their opponents 47-11 that’s just telling you that they’re firing on all cylinders they’re pitching well they’re getting they’re they’re getting key base hits the drive-in runs and they’re catching the baseball and preventing runs as well
And throughout that lineup like you said they have All-Stars throughout that lineup guys they can’t put Power guys with speed they’re leading the entire tournament stolen bases as well I mean it’s it’s a team that’s firing on all cylinders the other thing also to kind of to think about too is Japan they
Start their spring training a couple of weeks earlier than than we do here in the states so a lot of those guys have gotten a two weeks worth more of reps and at bats than than usually guys do here in the state so that kind of comes
Into play as well I mean you got to think about it every single WBC they’ve been able to advance yes they’ve also had to travel right oh yeah with large except large chunks of uh airspace right we’re not talking about uh Phoenix to Oakland here this is a big deal right so
They’re coming from Tokyo and they’re not going to LA or San Francisco where finals have been played in the past they’re going to Miami which is an even worse trip for them so there’s that as well is that at all on your mind if you’re team Japan man I mean I think
It’s something that you’re you’re dealing with but um you know I don’t think they’re looking at it as any sort of disadvantage I mean they’re loaded they’re confident yeah I mean the fact that they’re going to Miami that’s what they’re excited about it doesn’t matter where this team’s going to play good
Pitching good defense situation hidden that all that travels yeah so at the end of the day once they get on the baseball field this is going to be a tough team to knock off they’ll get their sleep foreign
