There it is!
I never expected a Japan team that contained Dodger-era Ohtani and Yamamoto to be beaten before the finals, but here we are!
So, Venezuela will now play Italy in their semifinal the day after Team USA plays Team DR.
What a tournament!

Alright, here we go! Bottom of the 9th, and Team Japan is behind 8-5. The Lakers pulled off a miracle comeback to win in overtime... Can Samurai Japan walk it off or take the game to extra innings?

Dude, this is NOT what I was expecting! Like... at all!
I thought this game would just be a formality for Japan, that they were gonna beat Venezuela in a landslide, but that has clearly NOT been the case here!
#WorldBaseballClassic #VENvsJPN
Pulling for Venezuela tonight, but I will say Japan's uniforms are my favorite because they look the least beer-league of all the #WBC unis. #VENvsJPN
There was no catcher's interference, but there was interference with Dan Iassogna's mic π #WorldBaseballClassic #VENvsJPN
What is it with these home plate umpires on Fox proper this weekend with inconsistent calls? #WorldBaseballClassic #VENvsJPN
Wilyer Abreu in the clutch! #WorldBaseballClassic #VENvsJPN #DirtyWater
LoL Acuna got a little bit of payback there!
#WorldBaseballClassic #VENvsJPN
On one hand, this #WBC quarterfinal game between Venezuela and Japan has been highly entertaining. OTOH it's taking forever to play. 90 minutes in and it's only the bottom of the 4th?? #VENvsJPN
Missed phone notification for the Nuggets vs. Lakers game.
Oh snap, didn't see this notification until now... gotta get a second screen going! I completely forgot that the Lakers were also playing this morning. Already near the end of the 3rd quarter, and the Lakers are up by 11 points.

1 multi-homer game in 840 MLB games V.S. 2 in 9 #WorldBaseballClassic games.
That's nuts #VENvsJPN
When you're going up against a big game pitcher in Yamamoto, a Ronald Acuna Jr. leadoff homer is a great way to start #WorldBaseballClassic #VENvsJPN #BravesCountry
Was something going down at Loan Depot Park earlier today that first pitch for #VENvsJPN is taking place around 9 P.M. ET/8 CT? #WorldBaseballClassic
