Kenley Jansen got a call from Curaçao prime minister after their draw vs Ecuador.
“He’s like, ‘Do you see how we feel now when you’re pitching?' I’m like, ‘Yeah. I get that. I don’t know whether to stand or sit, when to use the restroom. I got a headache with that one.”

Three weeks after Keider Montero tossed 6 scoreless innings vs. White Sox in just 65 pitches, he needed just 22 pitches to traverse the White Sox lineup unblemished thru three innings today.
Kenley Jansen said he watched the Curaçao-Ecuador match and talked with prime minister Gilmar Pisas afterwards.
"I was surprised, man. I didn't believe it until it got to 80 minutes. I was like, 'Oh shoot, we might get a point here.' ... I couldn't go to sleep, because my adrenaline was so up."
