WBC Plunks - 3/17/09
In WBC 2nd round action yesterday Shuichi Murata of Japan got plunked by Jung Keun Bong of Korea, but it was Korea that won the game, earning a spot in the semi-finals and sending Japan to an elimination game again Cuba - a re-match of the 2006 WBC. Murata has now been plunked twice in the WBC. In the other game yesterday, Adam Dunn and Jimmy Rollins helped team USA earn a spot in the semi-finals by getting plunked by Puerto Rico's Jonathan Sanchez and Nelson Figueroa. Figueroa is listed as a non-roster invitee to Mets training camp, and maybe showing the ability to plunk Phillie Jimmy Rollins will earn him a spot on the Mets roster. Either that or Rollins has developed an interest in being hit by baseballs after filming his recent TV ad for Dick's Sporting Goods. (They couldn't get Chase Utley for that role?)
