Can't believe just how stupid the guy managing South Korea is. Ichiro is making contact with everything thrown anywhere near the strike zone, and they refuse to walk him(with 1st base open, 2 outs, a tie game, and guys on 2nd n' 3rd.) He kept fouling stuff off, and got a bad pitch. J's take the WBS in extra innings. Even if pitching to him somehow resulted in an out, it's still really stupid. Must be something cultural. Everyone is begging them to walk him.....Nope. To be honest, having these two Slasher-Hitter Asian teams play at night(on a cool heavy ocean air night) in Dodger Stadium is a bit limiting. A Korean did hit one out, but there must have been about 6 long drives that had good chances to get out in other big league stadiums.
