Im assuming you haven't heard how hard MLB players are trying to be part of it since its happening in LA...

Keyword “trying”

Just like Skubal “tried” to make things work for team USA

Can team Japan get Ohtani back up to plate 1 more time??

Maybe Okamoto will be the hero tonight 

[Stangstag]

Yikes team Japan falling apart 

[ComeTogether]

Oka gets on base 

[Stangstag]

Japan needed 1 run there. Looking bleak for them

That pick off error may be the difference. 

[ComeTogether]

Ex Jays Kikuchi on the mound. 

[ComeTogether]

Okamoto should have got that 

[Jonn]

That ball ate Okamoto alive

Yeah, that was ugly. It might be a bit of an adventure there this year, but hopefully the bat makes it irrelevant.

I don’t think he’ll be any better or worse than Barger looked at 3rd. 

[Jonn]

Game over Palencia.

[Jonn]

Well its going to be quite a bit harder for Canada to get to the Olympics but still possible 

[ComeTogether]

Happy for Venezuela.   

[Stangstag]

Wowww Japan didn’t even make it to the Semis. Gotta love WBC baseball!

Now just need DR to do their thing against USA and we’ll have a nice different matchup for the finals

Do people actually care about this? Surprising to me

[Jays24]

Its amazing to see how much people give a s*** about these games. 

Imagine that it took a Jose Bautista bat flip to allow raw emotion in the game.   Dude took a sucker punch and a lot of flak from the oldies for it too. 

[Jonn]

Pretty monumental upset. That country has been through it. This is a beacon of hope. Hopefully now that their dictator is gone they can use a moment like this to fuel the future.

Funny when you look back, Bautista was kinda the start of the heightened emotions/celebrations for MLB players

Honestly, the Venezuela team is pretty damn good on paper.  Think people need to toss out some of the historical stuff since a lot of these countries have more representation and are getting massive turnouts now

Ofcourse I do. I think it will be best on best. And a lot of these gimmick teams like Italy and Israel won’t exist when they need actual passports to play for those countries. Feel like Canada could compete for a medal.

Venzuela has a lot of talent no doubt but to beat Japan on the international level Is extremely impressive. They have been utterly dominant. I don’t think they lost for a decade before tonight.

I don't think so. Think this was the only qualifier

Yea exactly! Everyone on Isreal was born in the USA, while all but 6 on Italy were born in the USA with only 3 actually being born in Italy. lol 

If only Vladdy would play for Canada... you'd think he would considering he was born there and is getting paid $500 Million from a Canadian MLB team...

Vlad is locked in

I believe there’s a final qualifier but its a giant pool of teams for one spot.

Hoffman vs Vladdy in the 9th, in a one run game.
