    Can't say I'm terribly surprised. The Dominican Republic is full of mediocre/bad defenders with great bats, but in a series this short the defense and pitching are more important.

    Yeah but against the Netherlands?

    I was expecting them to lost to teams that are elite, they are below them but not the Netherlands

    Phillipe Aumont on the mound. Coach Owens and AsianInsvasion won't know which team to cheer for.

    Yeah, but without knowing much about the players, how can you say for sure?

    D.Wright, Youkilis and Granderson can't do anything with the bases loaded. Canada remains alive 6 - 4

    I didn't think the Netherlands would win either, but in one game with neither team playing at 100% and the Dominican with a pretty bad defense I just don't think it is that surprising.
