Congratulations to Venezuela. Ouch. #Wbc #samuraijapan

I'm calling Yoshida to have an impact at bat

What the hell Japan. Bad throw.

Oh no. I'm nervous. #wbc

Japan is not done yet. #wbc

Conflict of interest: Wilyer Abreu

This is a good baseball. #Wbc

Morishita delivers for Japan. #wbc

I am a Red Sox fan and team Japan fan. I hope Japan beats Venezuela but not Suares too bad #wbc

Yikes. A hit with an error. 3-0 US. #WBC

Bases loaded with Alex Bregman, a former Red Sox at the plate. #WBC

Hanshin's Teruaki Sato, Japan's reigning MVP is a pinch hitter. He delivers, insurance run scores, and now bases are loaded for Seiya Suzuki

MASATAKA YOSHIDA DELIVERS IN THE CLUTCH AND JAPAN TAKES THE LEAD

Masa is calm, cool and collected. Good hitter. Clutch. He led the last tournament with RBI and he already has 7 in this one, I think? I hope he finds a way to play everyday somewhere.

Masataja Yoshida!!!!! #WBC

The entire country of Japan is on edge right now. Bottom 7th, losing 1-0. #WBC

RT @WBCBaseball: MASATAKA YOSHIDA GOES BACK-TO-BACK! #WorldBaseballClassic

Masataka Yoshida had an epic bat drop 🔥

Macho, macho man 🎵 Masataka Yoshida comes through again for Team Japan!

SHOHEI OHTANI WBC GRAND SLAM

Shohei Ohtani is doing Shohei Ohtani things at the World Baseball Classic 🦄 Through the second inning vs. Chinese Taipei, he was just a triple shy of the cycle.

There goes Masa at the World Baseball Classic!

Koki Kitayama of Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters on the mond for Japan for bottom 6th. Japan leads Taiwan, 13-0. #WBC

Looks like Ohtani is done, too. Teruaki Sato of Hanshin Tigers was on a on-deck circle. he had 4 at bats in 4 innings. A first ptich double to starte the game, a grand slam in the second inning, a single (in the same inning), and a line out to first. #WBC

My man, clean up hitter for team Japan, Masataka Yoshida is done for the night (morning for me)afterthree at bat. RBI triple and score, single and score, and fly out to right. #WBC

Of course Shohei Ohani hits a grand slam. #WBC

This

In case you missed it, Northeastern beat No. 2 LSU 13-10 on Monday in Baton Rouge. Duxbury's Chris Walsh drove in four runs. North Andover's Ryan Griffin went 5.1 IP and allowed 1 ER against the defending NCAA champs. Excellent program at NU, as always.

#RedSox vs. Puerto Rico tonight: Campbell CF, Story SS, Mayer 2B, Durbin 3B, Kiner-Falefa 1B, Hickey DH, Wong C, Ward RF, Castro LF, and Bennett LHP. 6:10 NESN+

After Alex Bregman decided to sign with the Cubs, the Red Sox were stunned but had little time to catch their breath, since another target - Ranger Suárez - was in advanced talks with other teams (esp the Orioles). A look at the Sox’ pivot: www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/22/s...

Ouch. This stings.

If I had a pick, which I don't, I'd pick both @chadfinn.bsky.social and @alexspeier.bsky.social picks and ran out of space. Dan Shaughnessy would not be happy about that. apps.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/spor...
