Rumors

The Dominican Republic appeared to be shortchanged by the home plate umpire, who proceeded to call two questionable third strikes on Juan Soto and Geraldo Perdomo — with Perdomo's at-bat being the last of the game — en route to a 2-1 win for Team USA, who are now headed to the WBC final. After the game, the Knicks star, who has represented Dominican Republic in FIBA competition, expressed his disagreement over the way his home country was knocked out of the WBC in animated fashion “Hell yeah, that was a ball, man! That was some bulls**t. They should have had a chance. They had Tatis Jr. coming up. Come on, man,” Towns told reporters, via Knicks Videos on SNY on X (formerly Twitter).
