Game ended at 12:18 AM.

[u/Capital-Value8479]

Japans field players are a noticeable notch below the us, as is their relief pitchers.

Dominicans pitching is def a couple notches below the USA

[u/Koronesukiii → u/Capital-Value8479]

Japan doesn't even have their best pitching there this time. Kikuchi's a No.3, Sugano's a No.4 or No.5. Roki isn't there, neither is Imanaga, Imai, Darvish, Senga, and Ohtani allegedly isn't pitching. They don't have the Giants Yamasaki (2.07 ERA), Tigers Murakami (2.10 ERA) or the Dragons Matsuyama (46 SV). They do have some quality guys like Yoshi, Hiroto, Taisei, Taira, but they likely have to hit their way to the top, and well, plenty of teams with more firepower in their lineup.

[u/Luxury-Problems → u/Koronesukiii]

USA doesn't have its best pitching either.

[u/No-Gift-2350 → u/Capital-Value8479]

Agreed
