CIRCLE ME BERT
By
Bert Blyleven has once again proven he belongs in the Hall of Fame, if usually for his stellar opening as the Kingdom of the Netherlands pitching manager during this year’s World Baseball Classic.
The former Minnesota Twins curveball specialist, in his initial year as a WBC coach, has put together utterly the miracle. Most of these guys have been practical unknowns who have no shot at pitching at the vital joining turn as far as we can tell. They’re Class-AA hurlers at best. Sidney Ponson for great out loud.
Yet somehow, the Dutch revolution and bullpen have authorised a total 6 runs on twenty-three hits over their final 3 contests, land the Dominican Republic to only 3 runs over dual games. The Dominican Republic. The WBC’s in essence over-paid team, right away separated in the initial round.
Circle me, Bert.
