00:00Yeah, let's talk about Japan and Korea here, because those two are the two that are advancing out of the
00:05pool from the Tokyo Dome.
00:06If you weren't up late or up early, you missed some insane baseball and pour one out for the Aussies.
00:13The Australians put up a heck of a fight. Chinese Taipei put up a heck of a fight.
00:18But it is Japan and Korea, the two favorites to get out of the pool that do get out of
00:23the pool.
00:24Quick shout out to Travis Bazzana. Quick shout out to Yu Chang and Chinese Taipei.
00:29But this was as written, Japan and Korea getting out of that pool.
00:33Yeah, and shout out Chinese Taipei for taking down Korea.
00:36We saw all the players on the field emotional, crying, multiple of them because of how happy they were to
00:42take down a team like Korea.
00:44I thought that was a really cool moment. But just getting back to Shohei Otani, I mean, oh, man.
00:51Bad Bunny and Timothee Chalamet are in the Tokyo Dome.
00:55First of all, should we even talk about the players or should we talk about that ice cream sandwich?
01:00That ice cream sandwich looks unbelievable. It is a Tokyo Dome effectively.
01:04It looks mochi-esque. What did it look like?
01:07That looked like if you're walking up the pearly gates to heaven.
01:10And you know when you, like, enter a really nice cocktail party and they'll offer you, like, a little glass
01:17of champagne before you enter?
01:19You want that.
01:20That's what I want before we get into heaven. Hopefully. Hopefully we get there.
01:24I want that at the pearly gates.
01:26And it's like this little fluffy, wonderful thing.
01:29And that's at a baseball stadium?
01:31Now, the campfire milkshake that the Chicago White Sox serve is one of the best desserts I've ever had at
01:37a stadium.
01:38It's really, really good.
01:39It ain't touching that. Are you kidding me?
01:42Are you kidding me?
01:43That looks so good.
01:45So getting back to the players.
01:47Yeah.
01:48Shohei Otani threw the first two innings.
01:51And here it is for everybody to see live here on Sports Grid and watching live on YouTube for the
01:56Just Baseball Show.
01:57So the Tokyo Dome ice cream sandwich indeed goes insane.
02:01Insane. God, that looks good.
02:03It looks so good.
02:04They've perfected the ice cream sandwich over there at the Tokyo Dome.
02:07But in front of Bad Bunny and in front of Timothee Chalamet in the first two innings of the game,
02:13he ripped a 117-mile-an-hour double.
02:16He launched a grand slam and added an RBI single.
02:21Shohei Otani is hitting .556 so far during the World Baseball Classic.
02:26He just proves day in and day out why he is beyond compare, why he's almost beyond humanity.
02:37I don't even know how to describe him, but that's his greatness is he's – you can't really describe him.
02:43He's a perfect baseball player.
02:44I wish he was pitching, but this is pretty good too.
02:46It's okay.
02:47I will say Japan being led in the power department, like they've had six homers hit in pool play from
02:56three guys.
02:58Seiya Suzuki, Shohei Otani, Masutake Yoshida have each hit two homers.
03:04That is grabbing the right guys to complement the NPB All-Stars that they're running out there.
03:10And there are plenty of guys that are very, very talented on this team, right?
03:14Genda is incredibly talented.
03:17Shugo Maki, incredibly talented.
03:19Murakami has looked okay so far, but Sato is good.
03:23Kondo is good.
03:24The fact that they have Seiya, Yoshida, and Otani here to just like provide the thump when they need it,
03:30that Masutake Yoshida homer against Team Australia was needed and humongous,
03:36and it was what solidified a group win for them in pool play.
03:39They have the ringers performing like ringers right now offensively.
03:43That's a huge deal as they get on a cross-planet flight to come to Miami and play in the
03:48quarterfinals.
