Questionable send by Carlos Febles, but what a slide by Juan Soto (and what a call by home plate umpire Dan Iassogna, who saw that separation in real time). So, the Dominican Republic is hitting the ball hard, running the bases hard, aggressively runners to the plate, and forcing Team Korea to cycle through — what? — eight different relievers by the time it’s all said and done? And they have Cristopher Sánchez rolling on the mound?
On paper, this looked like the most lopsided quarterfinal matchups. Looks that way on the field, too.
