WBC 2009 Dutch eliminates Dominican Republic

[elmenol136]

soy dominicano pero me gusto la victoria de los paises bajos porque republica dominicana no apoyo a jose reyes quien fue el unico para mi que jugo con corazon

[middlestand]

I have never seen a player in Japan.

Why? Maybe they can find out a chance in Japan.

[TheColtsfan473]

Greatest upset in sports history

[kafu86]

One of the best games i have ever seen.

[TheMrBennito]

yeah keep looking down upon a bunch of 'amateurs'.. i can guarantee you the dutch players take their sport VERY seriously and the fans are VERY much involved as well. As a high school kid I played baseball with a good bunch of others after schooltime. At the sports hour at school we all preferred baseball over soccer. Half of the class, the boys that is, had their own glove at home.This is in the beginning of the 70s. So DONT you underestimate us:)

[daryllann]

Great game :)) 

[itzahazylife]

Kingsale, the guy that got the game tying hit, kept getting fed those low and in fastballs by Marmol, like 4 times in a row that at bat before he finally crushed one..terrible pitching..and then Marmol throws it away lol..and the next hit bounces off the 1st basemans glove..what a massive choking performance by a bunch of pros.

[Umandsf2]

This was a very painful loss to watch, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't one of the most exciting ends to a game I've seen.

[Jobafan08]

loving the enthusiastic announcer, haha that has to be one of the biggest epic fails in baseball history xDD

[809redsox]

that was EMBARRASSING i was so mad.

[whitesox889]

Do dutch people prefer baseball over cricket?

[HacksFirst]

@whitesox889 Yes we do :-) ( Cricket is quite unknown in the Netherlands, more and more people start playing baseball here...)

[Yoeribank]

@whitesox889

hell yes

[BenjaminVlaardingen]

It aint over Till its Over!

Greating from Holland;)

[thenightspot]

my hat goes off to the netherlands as a dominican i know you guys deserved to win

thats baseball 4 ya its not about the killer lineups its about the best team and u guys were the best team

[TheCastiboi]

sounds like the announcer really wanted the Netherlands 2 win

[boybram2]

I'm dutch and could not believe what happened in this game, it'll still give me shiveres

[robsuser]

Its anyones game in baseball.....

[MrBrotatoechip]

Upset of the year



[apocaliptico415]

omg my conuntry dominican loser for holanda i dont believe

[TheMakeover2010]

world baseball cup WBC presents a great game between the Dutch and the

Dominican Republic , the Dutch being the better of the two on the day won the game

and eliminated the Dominican Republic. Jason Louis-Fernand.

[daddyfrankee21]

This game was so awesome watching it live, it still gives me chills all over when i watch this. Great piece of footage in sports history

[khzocszter]

INCREDIBLE ! VIVA ARUBA ♥

[starfoxhero]

i'm remeber watching this game live, it was so crazy!! lol

i was cheering for the dutch the whole time btw! :D

[JK24Baseball]

My pitching coach says the same. He now is pitching coach for the NL team under 18 and knew alot of the players on the WBC roster. One of the pitchers send a text message to him and said that he got Big Papi twice with a change-up.

[MikeEchoTangoSierra]

the Netherlands pitching carried this team. they were insane. alot of young, raw arms on this squad.

[thenightspot]

for all the americans bitching and moaning about the wbc fuck you

i would of like to see the dominicans win but i was just as happy for the netherlands because it gives better hope to the fans of countries who are heavy underdogs plus a fifa world cup style torney 4 baseball is sumthing i use to fantasize about growing up and in 2006 it became a reality

[slapshot68]

this cud top the biggest upset of the decade, n even pass the 1980 usa team. usa only beat russia once but the netherlands beat the dominicans TWICE!!

[slapshot68]

do u believe in miracles!!! they do. the 1st one since the usa hockey team beating russia

[1Mrflawless]

that happens when you underestimate a team. winning in baseball is not about your reputation, record or how your are ranked, its about playing hard as a team. well done by the dutch team; it reminds me when the Marlins beat the Yankees.

[BotonNegro]

how did the dominicans lose netherlands r a soccer team i guess there not so good after all

[papichuloprdr1]

we will be back next classic stronger and better than ever

we will be the favorties without an arguement

[slapshot68]

of course by then ull hav the full roster with pottentialli new dominican stars from the minors

[papichuloprdr1]

lmao!!!

yup :)

[sienic777]

Cool! Amazing!!

[bandpost]

Go Netherlands! Nice win.

[C00tjuh]

the netherlands rock!!

[makokun9]

Juaz, bola de fracasados!

[slapshot68]

reyes suck, papi is a gorilla, and hanley gets beaten by the wind twice, lol

[martinus220]

thats hilarious XD

[pokeryfoosy]

Sounds so odd to hear "the Netherlands IS going to Miami."

Also, very strange that they played stadium sounds while the ball was still in play...

[magicchu]

huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­ uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuyyyyyyyyyyyyyy yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy q viva puerto rico!!!!

[qwartel]

Well..I opt for Japan these days...

[kafu86]

you aint much if you aint dutch.

great game.i saw it live.

[davidflores954]

lol they lost to a soccer team

[slapshot68]

lol no they lost to a grammer skool team.

[slapshot68]

that's like team canada in hockey losing to team japan in the olympics twice!!

[pp06061995]

what, we win awesomw.

[babysinister87]

lolwut we play baseball?

[boggierollertopnotch]

That was just amazing, i'd love to think these kind of tournaments may finally help to spread baseball worldwide, mainly overseas, where is less than a rare piece of sport!

[Amnesiacmidnitetoker]

Dominican roster worth 89 million dollars getting beat down by a HOLLAND unknown ROSTER worth 400,000 roster priceless!!!

[thunderstruck665]

How do you show your face in the DR again anytime soon after this? This cracks me up to no end!

[NHJBV]

Haha, I didn't even know we had a baseball team. Good for them :p

[mace1337]

What, are we playing international baseball now?

AND WINNING????

lol.

[thanksgiving6]

by the way, Reyes's defence was great.

[slapshot68]

complete opposite for offense

[ermarhik]

this is one of the many reasons i LOVE baseball!

congrats Netherlands!!!!!!!

[Radiancy]

crazy game!!
