Players injured during the World Baseball Classic will have their salaries paid by the WBC organization while they are unable to play for their major league teams, according to an MLB source.

That would mean that players such as Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira and Dodgers shortstop Hanley Ramirez will be paid by the WBC during their respective absences.

Colombia-Brazil link is here.

First inning pitching change for Colombia.

Missed the top of the inning. Bases loaded?

[edit] yup.

Missed the top of the inning. Bases loaded?

Yeah, bases loaded, but Brazil escaped. Again. And then they caught another break with Marwin Vega leaving so early. Must be hurt.

Looked like he pulled a hamstring

6. 'Spos posted on November 17, 2012 at 03:35 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Doesn't look like the winner of this game will have much of a chance to move on.
Unless Brazil has some crazy luck.

Unless Brazil has some crazy luck.

Which is entirely possible.

8. 'Spos posted on November 17, 2012 at 03:37 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

They've already had crazy luck.
Nice bit of luck for Gomes.

It seems to always rain in Panama.

10. 'Spos posted on November 17, 2012 at 03:43 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Indeed.

11. 'Spos posted on November 17, 2012 at 03:49 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

lucky lucky lucky.

12. Gamingboy posted on November 17, 2012 at 03:49 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

In fact, I seem to recall it's one of the reasons why a Panamanian league has never been able to last more than a few years: with so much rain, they lose a ton of games and a lot of the games do play end up being sparsely populated because they get delayed so much (which you can see in the WBC games so far that didn't involve Panama).

13. 'Spos posted on November 17, 2012 at 03:52 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Makes sense. The certainly seem to have the talent.
You think the guy in the white hat who was talking to the home plate ump was from the ground crew?

14. Gamingboy posted on November 17, 2012 at 03:59 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Now it's Colombia's turn to escape.

15. 'Spos posted on November 17, 2012 at 04:00 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Clear skies, at least.

16. 'Spos posted on November 17, 2012 at 04:04 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Mariano Duncan!

17. Gamingboy posted on November 17, 2012 at 04:08 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Colombia foolishly put men in scoring position.

18. 'Spos posted on November 17, 2012 at 04:08 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Pitcher's settling down.

19. 'Spos posted on November 17, 2012 at 04:09 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Wish i could understand more of the #WBC tweets.

20. Gamingboy posted on November 17, 2012 at 04:13 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Hey, look, somebody in scoring position! I wonder what will happen next?

21. 'Spos posted on November 17, 2012 at 04:17 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

This stadium does play like Oakland, huh?

22. Gamingboy posted on November 17, 2012 at 04:17 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Yep, just what I thought.

23. Gamingboy posted on November 17, 2012 at 04:22 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

I got to admit, just from what I've seen so far and what I've heard in the past, I have to think Barry Larkin would be a better manager for the Reds than Dusty Baker.

24. 'Spos posted on November 17, 2012 at 04:22 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Concur.

25. 'Spos posted on November 17, 2012 at 04:28 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Well, someone has to win eventually.

26. Gamingboy posted on November 17, 2012 at 04:28 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

And here I thought after seeing Colombia last night that they'd mercy-rule the Brazilians.

27. 'Spos posted on November 17, 2012 at 04:30 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Yeah, there's some luck, but B has got some pitching & d.

28. Gamingboy posted on November 17, 2012 at 04:31 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Balk!

29. 'Spos posted on November 17, 2012 at 04:34 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

RBI!

30. Gamingboy posted on November 17, 2012 at 04:34 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL

31. Gamingboy posted on November 17, 2012 at 04:38 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

As amazing as it is, but if Brazil were to win this game, they'd actually have a puncher's chance in the final, since whoever had gone through loser's bracket would have used up more of their pitchers due to the pitch-count considerations, which could give Brazil an advantage in the number of arms available from the bullpen, which would allow them to work matchups and such more.

32. 'Spos posted on November 17, 2012 at 04:41 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Larkin does seem comfortable managing pitch counts. Is he doing anything in the minors?

Don't think so. He's been at ESPN while doing the occasional clinic or Futures Game coaching stint, I think.

34. 'Spos posted on November 17, 2012 at 04:45 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

He'll get some attention here, I'm sure.

35. 'Spos posted on November 17, 2012 at 04:47 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Uh oh.

36. Gamingboy posted on November 17, 2012 at 04:47 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Jolbert Cabrera: Colombian Hero.

37. Gamingboy posted on November 17, 2012 at 04:49 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Huge double play. Instantly stopped the bleeding.

38. 'Spos posted on November 17, 2012 at 04:49 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

lucky

39. 'Spos posted on November 17, 2012 at 04:50 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

OK, not lucky, good d.

This Paulo Orlando guy, I feel, has a big league future. He's impressed me and his stats aren't that bad.

41. 'Spos posted on November 17, 2012 at 04:57 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

ouch

42. 'Spos posted on November 17, 2012 at 04:58 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Orlando does look good, doesn't he?

43. 'Spos posted on November 17, 2012 at 05:01 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Gomes!

44. Gamingboy posted on November 17, 2012 at 05:01 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Yan Gomes!

45. Gamingboy posted on November 17, 2012 at 05:04 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Good fielding, good enough pitching and timely hitting...

46. Gamingboy posted on November 17, 2012 at 05:06 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

"Cal State LA"...

Collegiate!

47. 'Spos posted on November 17, 2012 at 05:06 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Seems like all of these pitchers are of Japanese descent.

48. 'Spos posted on November 17, 2012 at 05:09 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Wonder if Larkin would listen if the Jays called...

49. Gamingboy posted on November 17, 2012 at 05:09 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Seems like all of these pitchers are of Japanese descent.

More or less that's true. The Japanese-descent players the ones who generally have been playing baseball the longest, so have had more time to learn how to pitch well.

123! for the college boy!
