That nickname sucks, but yea, holy crap daisuke was on today. Was locating well an his pitches had some disgusting movement. Fastball really had some crazy movement. Was he throwing a cutter too maybe? Alright wiki says he throws a cutter, so that must have been it. That pitch had some seriously wicked break to it. Was nice to get a mph reading on the pitches today. Didnt know japan had that hard of throwers. I mean there must not ever be any runs scored in npb, seeing as how most of the hitters on the team get demolished by anything over 90.
though to be honest, I kind of like how this japanese team is set up. great pitching, great defense, hopefully balls drop in on offense. I mean, you need to get insanely lucky to win anyway, the scoring part is probably what you have the least control over. This team excels at getting the ball in play, so its gonna be a frustratingly streaky team reliant on balls finding holes. I dunno it's all luck anyway, look at the US team. Demolished by puerto rico even though the offense is amazing. Figure run prevention you can at least get a bit more consistancy on a game to game basis. Though maybe that wouldnt be the case, I guess bad days in the field happen too. Regardless, quite pleased with the victory. So now we get...let me check...Korea. On TUESDAY, FUCK. God wbc is fucking with my finals schedule. That's 3 hours I lose right there. Fuck. I'll wake up early tuesday, maybe 9-10ish(yea right). God I'm not gonna get any sleep, thank god I'm young. But yea, hopefully we destroy korea. Darvish should be going right? Yea no fucking way I miss that game.
