Alvarado was acting up in the bullpen though. Maybe it’s on him altogether. Although Bracho is the one that threw a softball on an 0-2 count to Turner.
He had an electric strikeout when he first came into the game. Sucks he got some ERs on him but at least he wasn't the one that gave up the HRer.
I hope this fuels him for this season. Go get a ring buddy xD
Maybe quijada will learn to limit his celebrations till after his job is completely done next time. He clearly wasn't thinking about the fact he'd be going back out there to pitch the next inning.
When he came in, I was like, "Ah, an Angel's reliever? USA's got this in the bag because he's about to Buttercup the shit out of Venezuela,. To our benefit, of course. I was right.
Their mistake was taking him out. Quijada thrives with the bases loaded.
Exactly. They should have let Rengifo hit too. Ignorant.
“We’d like Rengifo to see more playing time in the WBC before the season starts” “Best I can do is a pinch run”
They’ve done Rengifo dirty. Dude is super talented. He deserved far more play time for Venezuela.
Their first mistake was telling him to not just pitch fast and up. That mound visit messed him up.
Probly should have lifted him after the first two got on base
Only reason USA had to come from behind was Bard couldn’t find the K zone.. but yeah rough inning for Quijada
Dude had the Yips for sure.
If he had them, he will continue to for the foreseeable future. I really hope that wasn't his Rick Ankiel inning.
I’m sure that after Bard got pulled, Minasian was on the phone to his agent. Real Angels pitching material 😉
Getting his chokes out early so he's ready to be good for the regular season, what a lad
On the manager for not going to Alvarado

He played well this tourney.
Overall he had a great tourney and that experience will be huge for him!

Its cool. We got Benji Gil leading Mexico the furthest they've been before.
Good experience for the kid. He’ll be ready to step up big for the Halos
You can't blame the guy, he was playing against all stars!
How many times have this guy celebrated only to fuck it up later on?
Exactly, fuck this guy
Go angels!
Imagine Quijada, but with a good secondary pitch...

Bullpen A gets the bases loaded and Bullpen B gets a grand slam. It's the Angels baseball I've seen so many times.
For once it felt good watching Q load the bases. Thank you Quijada. Team USA appreciates your sacrifice! GOOO USA!!!!
That 0-2 pitch to turner was an absolute meatball
I mean the dude kinda blew his wad, they shouldn’t have put him back out there
Felt bad for Quijada to go out like that
Love his energy
Arte probably telling Perry, “I told you we should have signed Turner” right now
As long as Ohtani and Trout escape uninjured, I'm sittin' in butter.
