Netherlands vs. Dominican Republic Highlights ⚾️ World Baseball Classic on FOX

pool D play as the Netherlands and the Dominican Republic lockups. Ander Bogarts and Fernando Tatis meeting once again this starstudded Dominican Republic team, one of the favorites in the World Baseball Classic trying to continue their unbeaten stretch. The lineup that he will face starts off with Saddon Raphaela, Drew Jones, who's being managed by his father, Xander Bogart, Azie Alb's, the hero of yesterday, Dei Gregorius, Hendrick Clementina, Randy Crowfar, Chadwick Trump, and Ray Patrick Ditter. >> So many of you are getting ready for your fantasy baseball seasons. I mean, be honest. If you drafted this as your lineup, you probably win the league. I mean, look at this batting order. Tatis, Martees, Sodto, Guerrero, Machado, Camo, Rodriguez, Austin Wells, and Eric Gonzalez are a big underdog. Even though they have been here, done that, they're facing a great team. >> Raphaela puts it on the ground. First test for Gonzalez. The throw across in time to get the speedy Raphaela is on you. You get tested right away. Baseball has a way of finding you whether it's your first big moment or >> second overall pick in the 2022 draft and he looks at a beautiful sweeper for a strike and Severino fired up. You don't get that excited on the mound when you're pitching at Goodyear. Uh this is a quality pitch on a 3-2. He's got one of the best breaking balls. And look, you know, pitch counts are very important because they're limited on what they can do. >> First pitch swinging, lined off the bat of Bogarts to center and Julio Rodriguez barely had to move to make that catch. Severino retires the Netherlands one, two, three in the top of the first. That I'm going to give you here in a second, but >> and it's ball four. Tatis draws the lead off walk. Not an easy task when you've got Sodto on deck. Guerrero to follow. Machado next. Where's the break? And that pops out of the glove of Chad with TR and Tatis will take second. Big rip and a miss. And Fronson bouncing back from backto back walk. Strikes out Juan Sodto. And there's one away. >> You know, you're not in the game long. And that's the the worst part I think about a tournament when you're starting or pitching. The 3-2 runners go lined into left field. That'll drop down for a base hit. Tatis will score and the Dominican Republic with a one- nothing lead. Just a really professional hitter. Guys know what's at stake and they know >> on the ground up the middle backhanded by Alb to second for one on the first and he threw it into the stands and a run will score. Two nothing. The Dominican Republic checking to see if he needs to appeal the play at second. Well, this was a very risky play getting to the bag and then having to navigate the runner because the runner has to slide and avoid contacting the infielders. Did Bogarts beat him? Just barely on the ground. Slow roller to the left side. Fansson with no play. That'll be an infield hit for Tomo. The inning continues for JRock. >> Super frustrating when you know the lineup they have and then you get this infield hit to just salt in the wounds of the 2-2 in the air to center field. Raphaela is there. Plenty of room to make a play and the side is retired. Well, Guerrero got him started with the base hit and the Dominican Republic feeling good early. Two on the board through one. Some of those pitchers and some of those players to fill the gap. Alb's in the air to shallow right. Tatis coming on to make the catch and there's one away. DD Gregorius, 36y old veteran, lines this one to right. That ball is well hit. Tatis at the track leaping up and that is off the top of the wall. It is a home run. It hit that fence above the wall and Dee Gregorius with his second World Baseball Classic home run in his career gets the Netherlands on the board. Got to have moments like that. Maybe he's coming back after a homer like that. But that is a big swing. This ball was supposed to be away and actually middle away. And Dei, who covers a lot of that plate back when he was playing, wrapped that one just over of this WBC after an 0 for7 start. Clementina in the air to right center. Rodriguez will call off Tatis and make the catch for the second out. >> When Maddox and Glavin pitched, he had the day off. When I pitched, he was busy. strike out of ProAR, but Dei Gregorius gets the Netherlands on the board with a home run to right and a 2-1 game as we head to the bottom of the second in Miami, but also pitch his country on in the World Baseball Classic as he gets Wells to strike out swinging. >> And there's a cold third strike. Gonzalez caught looking. They're more ready >> in the air to right. Long run out there for the first baseman. Profar and Jermy Profar in foul territory makes the catch. A one two3 second for Fronen on the hill. Important they both are not only to their country but the game of baseball. >> Chadwick Trump chasing that one outside the zone and he's out number one in the third. You're talking two Hall of Famers, a 700 home run hitter in Albert Pools, and Andrew Jones, as you've said, one of the best to ever play the position in center field. >> 10 goal gloves, always posting clown of players that Dominican Republic have put in. >> And Ray Patrick Ditter with a liner into right for a base hit. This is off of Luis Subarino. So, I wonder if Andrew will get the uh the wheels going for this young man to try to create something on the base path. I >> think Boston's going to surprise a lot of people this year. >> On the ground to short, charging Gonzalez to second to get the lead runner. Raphael's speed. That's all you'll get. And there's two gone. Drew Jones after this ground out. >> You can tell how smooth he is with his hands. semi rattling. >> There goes the runner. A one-two swung on and missed and Severino works around the one out single. Still 2-1 Dominican Republic in the third. As far as high A and couldn't crack the ceiling after that and Sodto puts a charge into this one to right. Going back is Jones. He's going to have room at the track to make the catch. And there's one away. Just got underneath that one to Juan Sto. And there's one gone in the third. >> He got it there and charged down the line. THAT BALL IS WELL HIT AND IT IS GONE. A home run for Glad Glad Guerrero. And it's 41 Dominican Republic. Well, right on Q. I mean, these are some of the greatest hitters in our game and you have to invent ways to get them out because you can't get them out the same way every single time. The quality of that pitch obviously wasn't as good as the first one, but this guy's in another level now since last year. Signed that big extension at the start of last year, then backed it up as he puts on the custom home run jacket. My goodness, this team is loaded. Well, this breaking ball did not go in the right spot. It backed up and it's a recipe for a launch ball. Every hitter will tell you they look for spin, but they look for spin with the big seams. And that one had to look to keep up with this Dominican Republic as Calero gets hit. Oh my. Runners go on the 3-2 into center field. Coming on is Raphaela. He'll make the catch. And this will be an easy double play as he'll flip to second and the side is retired. So a little gamble for Albert Puhol. He sends the runners and lines into a double play but Guerrero with the big hit in the air to center field on the 3-2. Rodriguez barely moves for out number one. It's got to be important in the in the scope of things. lined to right off the bat of Alby's for a base hit. Well, the the real question is going to be can you look to other sports that have had a similar challenge system on the ground flipped to second for one time to get your glorious coming up here. Swing and a miss. Luis Seenino leaving on a high note. his 60th pitch. A strikeout doubt of uh-oh, we're in a dog fight. Just do your part. >> Wells in the air, shallow center. Raphaela is there and there's one away in the fourth. >> Start learning how to pitch and so he likes the future of where they're going because they just don't have the depth right now. That hugs the line. Gregorius on the charge. The throw brought Popar off the bag, but he was able to get the tag in with the ball snow coning out of the glove for the second out. Tie game through five. On the ground, diving stop by Proofar. Excellent play at first and the side is retired. One man left for the DR in the fourth up 4-1. on those shoes and all the images are from when the brothers played for Curacas in the Little League World Series. >> Curous in ' 07 made a deep run to the semis as this one's grounded towards the mound. Good pick out and drill by to retire Chad with Trump for the second out of the fifth inning. >> That is in your kitchen right there. And he didn't panic when he bobbled it. >> He's just phenomenal. Swing and a miss. Dinner down on strikes and a one, two, three inning for Albert Abrau as we head to the bottom of the fifth in a 4-1 ball game. Has to do. Hitters are looking to launch >> as Guerrero lines this one to center. Raphaela there for the out. >> The argument will be a line drive hitter or the ball. The elite guys. >> Boy, what a jump at first. And there is absolutely no chance to throw out Sodto. And a liner into center field that'll drop down for a base hit. Sodto had to hold to see if it would be caught. So he'll advance to third. Machado with a single to center. Runners at the corners and one out. There's a guy like Rob Deer. >> Oh yeah. who was a high power guy, not a great average guy, and not a guy that was going to avoid a strikeout at the plate, but he would hit a lot of home runs, but it didn't carry with it the same sort of feel as that guy does now. >> Yeah, the best. Three balls to the strike. Dominero on a line to left. Dinner looking up and he's scor a threerun blast for Junior Camro. His second home run of the tournament and the Dominican Republic has broken it open up seven to one. You don't think that feels good after he got hit. Oh no, he didn't get hit. Sorry about that. After he walked, but that home run feels great. That connection, that click of the bat, that is what Albert Pooh is trying to get to this young man that can leash unleash incredible talent. 424 with an exit vo of 116. And you're right, he did get hit. Remember, he got hit on. >> He did get hit. I got my >> elbow. I I'm in I'm in already bad form. I've got the I'm one off of every hitter. Hey, it is it is March 8th. You can't be expected to be an October full. I agree with you on that. >> The depth of this lineup. See the tip that Guerrero's sharing like hit the ball out to left. Oh, like that. Okay. Striking out a little bit too much. This is top of the zone and just using your hands. Quiet line drive. Explode. What a shot. That's And for Mark Roso, their manager, they they know what's ahead of them. >> The 3-1 hit in the air to right. Wells puts a charge into this one and that ball is gone into the second deck for Austin Wells. 91 Dominican Republic A high five on the board in the fifth via two long balls for the DR and Austin Wells with his first hit of this World Baseball Classic making it count and a pitching change. The two-1 hit on the ground to short. Backhanded by Bogarts. Throw across and Popar can't snare it on the hop. Gonzalez aboard the two to Marte in the air to center field. Pretty well hit. Raphael though can cover a ton of ground out there. Makes the catch. Tagging and scoring from third is Gonzalez. And it's a 10-1 lead for the Dominican Republic. Sacrifice fly from Marte and now two gone. Continue the pain here. The 1-1 up the middle. Backhanded by Azie Albies. That should do it for the inning. And it does. But the Dominican Republic sends 11 to the plate in the fifth inning. They score six runs in the fifth and after five have a 101 lead. I wonder what the future holds for him after he uses this experience. in the air to right. Tatis on the run near the line. He'll make the catch for the first out. >> Check swing roller to the right side and underneath the glove of Marte and Jones will take his fourth hit of the WBC if they win and things fall their way. Alb's down on strikes and there's two gone in the sixth. >> And lucky enough to win one. We'll say that. >> Swing and a miss. Dei Gregorius down on strikes. We'll see if we can't convince John Smoltz to tell a long high school story when we come back to Miami. >> The 3-2 pitch. Cold third strike. Machado thought he was headed to first instead he's headed to the dugout. Jansen with the strikeout and there's one away. Here's Junior Commonro. First pitch swinging and he skies this one in foul territory. The first baseman will make the catch. Two up, two down in the sixth. Wells in the air to center field. Raphaela calling off Joseph in left field and he makes the catch to retire the side. Dominican Republic does not score. Still 10-1 through six. In this format, you're you're always amped up a little bit more than maybe just a regular spring training game. We've already touched on that. >> Wave and a miss and Clementina down on strikes for the first out and seven. >> But he looks in mid-season form coming out with three fast balls saying go ahead and try and hit it. Off the end of the bat, Yuribe bats it down. Scooped up by Wells. The throw first not in time. And Proar beats it out. So Proar aboard with one out and Palano on the horn. The old behind the back. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Wells did all he could, but so far able to beat it. Ground out. And Trump a line drive to left. Sodto drifting back shy of the track. He'll make the catch. And there's two away. 26 stolen bases combined last year, but a strike out here ends the seventh inning for the Netherlands. Time to stretch in Miami. 101 Dr. Eric Gonzalez on the ground to the left side. Xander Bogart across and there's one gone. offense. The US, Japan, all have put up a lot of runs as Lake is called out on strikes and there's two gone in the seventh. A team that can figure out how to shut the other down is and this crowd in the midst of doing the wave. We'll look out and see Juan Sto coming to the plate. One swing away from ending this ball game. Submeron on the mound to face Juan Sodto. 0 for two this afternoon. Marte at first. Sodto first pitch swinging. Highf fly ball deep right center field. The Dominican Republic wins it on a seventh inning walk-off home run from Huan Sodto and a 121 run rule win. Well, third or fourth at bat. So, watch out for that first pitch. First pitch, fourth at bat. Game over. It doesn't happen often, but a rare 7th inning walk-off in Miami and a 121 final for the Dominican Republic. And this is going to be one special team to watch through this World Baseball Classic. They are. They're confident. They're talented. They got a Hall of Fame manager. And they can score some runs. More from Miami in a moment with the Dominican Republic winning it in seven innings. 12-1 the final over the Netherlands. Severino the victory. We'll have more from Miami when we return on
