Only 8 pitches in the 1st for Quintana.

Archer looking good.  Nice slider on the corner for the backwards K.

He's got plenty of talent.

The Rays are big on attacking the top of the strike zone with the fastball.

Not surprised, you strike me as the literate sort.

Goldschmidt with the 8 pitch walk.  Saw as many pitches by himself as the 1-3 hitters combined.

One of them was Jones...

Unsporting or not I would go with the run up the pitch count strategy in the first round.  A lot of these teams don't have much pitching depth by MLB standards.

Yeah, Colombia has Quintana and Teheran but not much depth behind that.  I think USA will tee off on the pen once Quintana is out.

Not sure why we don't see teams try strategies like that in these sorts of things.

Just as well, it wouldn't be much fun to watch.

Heck of a park to pitch in.

Just think if they had made him a pitcher from the start he would have already been lost to free agency.
