[ComeTogether]

Gimenez won a championship.

Crazy that stacked USA roster couldn’t win it. Ultimately the offense went cold and they didn’t have a true starter for this final game.

Gotta think they were likely to win this with Skubal starting. What a bum

[Stangstag]

2 tournaments in a row that USA loses 3-2 lolll

Maybe if they dropped the cringe military LARP stuff and just had fun they wouldn't choke this bad? 

Just a thought

There is no other explanation for that lineup getting blanked by Ed Rod, Bazardo, Butto, and Zerpa.

[Stangstag]

Why did they reject Joe Ryan again?? Lol

[Jays24]

Poor Ernie, Rogers and Hoffman.  Gonna be 3 sad Jays there lol

They barely played.  At least Hoffman didn't give up the winner. 

[Laika]

I mean Hoffman flew in just because he likes losing I guess. He likes this feeling?

Amazing tournament all around

[ComeTogether]

[Laika]

Kind of feels like the world healed a little bit tonight. Bring on real Baseball.

I can’t stop trolling on twitter right now

Team USA came off as a bunch of joyless uptight losers, and it’s incredible that they lost

It really is. These guys acted like they were actually headed to Iran to save the Western hemisphere 

They wanted to be the American hockey team so badly. What they and the entire sports media class still don’t realize is that a hockey game of the same magnitude does take courage and sacrifice to win. It’s physical and personal. Baseball on the other hand is the only sport where you can’t just out will or outwork an opponent into submission. You win by making the least amount of mistakes 

Great ending to a great tournament 

[BTS]

It's actually remarkable how humiliating this tournament actually was for USA:

- Cal Raleigh snubbing Arozarena's handshake, then taking an interview with a "Front Towards The Enemy" shirt, then getting 0 hits in the tournament

- Losing to team Italy

- Literally nobody on the team or management knowing that they hadn't clinched a playoff round spot before the Italy game 

- Mark DeRosa's entire existence 

- The warrior larping, including pre-game speeches from a navy seal, while every other team was just having a blast listening to music and having a great time 

- Paul Skenes actually saying out loud that this tournament is a substitute for the air force service he never did 

- having to squeak by Canada by scoring the 2 winning runs off a guy who retired in 2019 

- Only scoring two runs in a game starting by Luis Severino in 2026 

- Only scoring two runs in a game started by Eduardo Rodriguez in 2026 

 

Like, this might be the most cringe baseball team ever assembled.

Dont forget CY young Skubal deciding he just didn’t wanna pitch because he didn’t want to move his start day forward by 1 day.

Not sure it ended up mattering because they couldn't couldn't hit Edouardo Rodriguez in the final, but if the best pitcher on the planet is willing to make one start for you, how do you not do everything in your power to line him up for the final, instead of a pool play game against Great Britain?
