Could it be something to do with all of the crap he's been getting for playing for USA? His mom is Puerto Rican. I respect him for that.

Respect him for what exactly? Not having the maturity to let his performance speak for itself? 

Like I said, I have no problem with his emotion on the mound, but picking a fight with your opponent is immature.

If this is the Marcus Stroman Toronto gets this year, man...

[25 Nuggets]

Brandon Crawford owns the inning.

No not for yelling at them, don't think that's appropriate, but I see where he could be coming from.

I just like that he played for U.S.

He's walked more than 22 times in his entire carrer. You talking about games with multiple walks?

Yes, multi-walk games. 21 two-walk games and 1 unbelievable three-walk game.

I think Stroman is playing with a little extra tonight. His mom was apparently getting a lot of "verbal" abuse

I respect any player that chooses to represent the country and heritage with which he most closely identifies. So I definitely agree with that.

In Adam's defense, that 2nd walk he laid off some TOUGH pitches. It was well deserved.

Talk about a frisbee slider. MAN that thing is moving!

Absolutely. It was a great AB. I have no problem with Jones' inability to consistently draw walks. He has a flaw, like many great players before him. I was only pointing out the rarity of the event.

WBC announcer said it, talking about all the Molinas.

Man...that last one was nasty. 

[scOtt]

I think Adam leads off next inning.

[ArtVanDelay]

That slider was filthy.  Berrios is so talented.
