August 2, 20214 yr 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. Edited August 2, 20214 yr by WBT

August 2, 20214 yr Japan's pinstripe jerseys are pretty nice US doesn't score in the top of the 10th. Edited August 2, 20214 yr by WBT
August 2, 20214 yr 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.

August 3, 20214 yr Dominican Republic beat Israel 7-6. Now, we play DR tonight at 10. Loser finishes in 4th, winner is guaranteed at least a bronze.

August 4, 20214 yr 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. Edited August 4, 20214 yr by Valmy77
August 4, 20214 yr I like baseball players named Tristan. 2-0 'murica Edited August 4, 20214 yr by Valmy77
August 4, 20214 yr 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. Edited August 4, 20214 yr by ztejas
August 4, 20214 yr 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.
August 4, 20214 yr Nice inning by Kazmir. I am starting to fade I can probably only go one more half inning. Come on USA!
August 4, 20214 yr 1 minute ago, ztejas said: Ah the classic 1 pitch bunt out with 2 outs and zero on base. Even Augie thought that was excessive bunting.
August 4, 20214 yr 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.
August 4, 20214 yr i'm on the peacock app right now and i still can't find the game, just old highlights. goddamn i hate NBC. any help?
August 4, 20214 yr ive browses both the NBC app and the Peacock app on my roku TV and i cannot find this game. what the fuck.
August 4, 20214 yr Wait Mike Scioscia is the manager? if we lose this game, his team finishing 4th out of 5 (ok 6) teams would be the most Mike Scioscia thing ever

August 4, 20214 yr Just now, UTexasFight said: NBC Sports there's a THIRD app? i can't watch the fucking olympics without having three different nbc apps?
August 4, 20214 yr 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 Edited August 4, 20214 yr by UTexasFight
August 4, 20214 yr 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.

Well, the actual NBC Sports Network is getting the ax by the end of the year so there’s that. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/media/2021/01/22/nbcsn-to-shut-down-2021/6678669002/
August 4, 20214 yr 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.
August 4, 20214 yr Just now, shadow_operative said: 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.
August 4, 20214 yr 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.
