Mosconi 2017 - Updates

Looked like Ralph got slugged. 6 balls near the spot.

Another good roll for USA as Ralph leaves a dead 4-8 combo. Oscar hooks himself on the 7 but kicks it in. Makes a good shot on the 9. Tied 1-1.

It was a great shot.

So you’re satisfied with the amount of coverage of the rolls USA has got today?

A lack of handshake got more coverage lol

Good return kick safe from Ralph gets him BIH & he runs the last 6 balls to get the rack. Ralph leads 2-1.

Great break by Oscar and after making the 2 says “that’s enough of this crap, let’s go” to someone near the rail. Seems fired up after being a little shaky early. He played the rack damn near perfectly.

Oscar looks GOOD.

Ties it at 2-2.

Oscar gets a 3-9 carom. Up 3-2.

USA! USA! USA!

This 30 second shot clock had the whole arena sharked.

Oscar banks the 3 while yelling “your not the only one who banks Billy!” Leaves himself a 1/2 ball jump but hangs the 5. The rest were there too. Ralph gets funny on the 6 as the 5 was so deep. Good safe & Oscar has to jump again. Cue ball goes off the table. Ralph gets it at tied 3-3. Great match!!

Give my four Oscar Dominguez’s & one Shane Van Boening & I’ll build you a damn Mosconi Cup winner.

Compare Dennis with baseball players who are disgusting - they spit and grab themselves the entire game. Does it really seem that bad now? I mean, those guys make millions and are complete pigs, I can't even stand to watch it

dominguez got himself riled up a bit too much

True for 99.999% of pool players, but for the very best in the world, without tight pockets to make them think twice, it would just be boring!

They are leaving balls in the jaws so, I disagree. It dulls the game.

Oscar jaws the 8 to get hill/hill on a fairly easy shot. Ralph takes care of business.

Heartbreaking. I really wanted Oscar to take that one. :frown:

I wouldn't say that was really easy.. lot of pressure and he wanted to make sure to follow cue ball to get good shape

Might want to rethink the 4 Oscar's and one SVB

I also wouldn't say it was really easy, I'd say it was fairly easy. Give him that shot 100 times and he'll make it most of them. Cue ball near the rail and had to get a little roll so it wasn't a gimme but I'd bet he'd say that's a "fairly easy shot" if asked.

Easy to say now that you have the results. I think he has the perfect personality for this. He's clearly fiery and still an absolute gentleman.

oscar moved on that shot
