Congratulations to Team USA on their 8-0 victory in the World Baseball Classic Championship game.
Both starters in the pitching rematch between the United States and Puerto Rico from their Pool F matchup on March 17 shone in different ways. While Seth Lugo struck out seven Americans through four innings, Marcus Stroman, the eventual WBC MVP, pitched a no-hitter through six innings. Even after Angel Pagan knocked Stroman out of the game with a leadoff single in the seventh, the only other Puerto Rican to record a hit was Yadier Molina.
The blonde ambition of Team Puerto Rico was not enough for them to run the table.
I liked how efficiently Stroman worked last night. If he can carry that into the regular season, we might see some Greg Maddux type sub 100 pitch complete games from the Blue Jays ace.
