Prolly those Cheater fans in Houston…

 

[85SugarVol]

It certainly seemed more raucous

I want the rematch with Italy

Me, too

I agree. World Series tickets in NYC were thousands of dollars per ticket, it's hard to get the same atmosphere with only that crowd IMO

I wonder what you could get into US vs DR for?

Abut $225-250 to get in the door (which of course isn't dirt cheap either), but most of the other games were way cheaper. I'm sure it will be higher tonight though

 

[NashVol11]

And that's resale, if DR fans actually bought the tickets from Ticketmaster then they were likely far cheaper than that. For the World Series, the cheapest tickets directly from the team were like $900 something and then in resale jumped to around $2K

 

[knoxvol52]

Cheap seats for tonight's Venezuela vs USA game ranges between $250-$400 per ticket.

high rollers can sit behind home plate for $4000 a seat.

If you had to pick one guy for the USA to hit a HR, tonight, who would you pick ?

Well, I have no patience, so I took Bryce Harper at +425, +510 with my boost. He bats 2nd, so he should get at least, 4 plate appearances.

Here we go, USA ! Man, I'm more pumped for this game than I was for Game 7 of The World Series

I would have said Judge because it's Judge, but I'm sure his odds are less profitable

+235 pregame

If forced, Smith was the play I think.

 

[The Dog]

Really good start for McLean

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Really good start for McLean

Not a good 3rd so far.

 

[The Dog]

No, but compared to his last start, I'll take it. One run should never beat this USA line-up

 

[005]

I don't reaaaaaally think I understand Harper 2 spot against a lefty but then again I'm not Mark DeRosa.

 

[The Dog]

Damnit. You got 4 innings of 1 run ball out of McLean and DeRosa just had to push it. Looked like Elander, Sunday, to me

 

[95 Vol Alum]

No, but compared to his last start, I'll take it. One run should never beat this USA line-up

It’s a one hitter.
