USA is up 2-1 after the first inning.
Have it recording. Just turned it on.
Watched it for a few minutes when USA hit a 2-run shot to left giving them a 1-run lead and then flipped it to something else.

USA hit a home run in top of 8th. Down by 1. 2-3
Saw they lost 3-2 to Japan.
This from start to finish was pretty good. I had not watched it before, the crowds were amazing, level of baseball play fun to watch. Wished the USA would have won, but good entertainment nonetheless.
I watched the last 2 1/2 innings. Had a World Series game-type feel. I don't know why, but I was sucked in trying to pull the US team through.
The last at-bat was epic.
I just knew Trout was going to homer off of Ohtani. I'm not a MLB fan, so I had no idea who he was until that at-bat. Did not know they were teammates playing for the Angels.
But, Ohtani got the best of him with the K.

It was fun to watch. I was trying to pull USA to win but it didn't happen. It was still a great game.
I think there are two reasons.
1) The crowd was large and into the game, and Japan seemed to have as many fans as the US
2) The players cared about the game, which fed the crowd, which fed the players, ... repeat.
Forgot to mention the closeness of the game, where every pitch counted.
The DP the US hit into was a killer in the 9th.

I didn't get to watch a ton but I've heard it was a great series and I wish the USA could have pulled it out. I watched a couple innings of the championship game but missed the end.
Ohtani must be the real deal, generational type ball player
