00:00Venezuela won themselves a World Baseball Classic Championship 3-2 over the United States.
00:06A deserved victory there.
00:07They pitched well and got their timely hitting and clutch scoring runs,
00:10which includes a ninth-inning 2-2 game, which turned into a 3-2 game
00:14because we'll get into some controversy in just a bit.
00:17But Venezuela, they won the world champs.
00:20And they deserved it, Donnie.
00:22I mean, the level of excitement and you could, you know, listen,
00:25there was a lot made about Team USA and the energy and the effort.
00:30Did they really want to win this?
00:32Did they not?
00:33Well, there was no doubt that Venezuela wanted to win.
00:36And that team and the effort across the board, I mean, every out.
00:40To hold that lineup, Donnie, to just two runs.
00:43And really, the only guy that hurt them was Bryce Harper.
00:47Everybody else just terrible at bats across the board.
00:52Didn't make Rodriguez pitch at all.
00:54Didn't make any of those guys pitch.
00:56Some of the worst, by the way, balls and strike calls I saw
00:59in a long time in that game last night.
01:02So it won't be long before the Robots, I think, will be in that tournament.
01:06But you got to give credit where credit was due.
01:08Good defense.
01:10Stole that base in the top of the ninth inning, right?
01:13Needed to get that done.
01:15They took advantage of all the opportunities they had.
01:19And they ended up champions, and deservedly so.
