Ouch

Six innings of Daisuke Matsuzaka on the mound was too much for Cuba’s hitters, and Cuba fell 6-0 to Japan. Tonight’s game against Mexico (11:00 p.m. Eastern) is now a must-win for Cuba to remain in the tournament.

If you wonder who was playing the trumpet from the stands during the games in Mexico, it seems that this three-minute video from the New York Times has him. Plus a brief interview with star second baseman Yulieski Gourriel, and others, while the team was in Mexico for the first round.

The Cubans are good but in int'l amateur competition they are never going to face a pitcher like Dice-K - easily one of the best in the world. He painted corners and baffled them with assortment of pitches that had them off balance. Against top-notch pitchers the Cubans will have trouble.
