hell yea St. Louis Cardinals player Corey Baker of IsraelCorey Baker tossed 4 2/3 scoreless innings in Team Israel's victory over Chinese Taipei at the World Baseball Classic.
Baker, who has played his entire pro career in the Cardinals minor league system, allowed three hits while walking none and striking out three. Chinese Taipei showed some signs of life offensively after Baker left the game, but Team Israel's offense was just too much

He absolutely attacked CT with sinkers. Didn't overpower, but for 4 innings they looked lost.go birds wrote:hell yea St. Louis Cardinals player Corey Baker of IsraelCorey Baker tossed 4 2/3 scoreless innings in Team Israel's victory over Chinese Taipei at the World Baseball Classic.

Any idea why Sherriff didn't fly out to join Isreal?

Team Israel also features Jason Marquis as their other primary starter besides Corey Baker.

Re: World Baseball Classic
He's part of their Designated Pitcher Pool, which means he's not active for the group stage but can be added to the roster to replace another pitcher for a later round if they want. Pitchers who are in the DPP but not active for a given round have to report to Spring Training with their professional club, so he has to stay in Florida for the time being.MinorLeagueGuy wrote:Any idea why Sherriff didn't fly out to join Isreal?

Re: World Baseball Classic
I believe with Sheriff the decision was made by him because he wants to focus on trying to make the big league club and with other pitchers being out of camp for the WBC, it gives him a better shot by staying in Jupiter. Being 26, he doesn't have forever to finally make a big league club. I could be completely wrong about all of that but I think that's what I remember.
