Meh, it's a thread on a Blue Jays forum about the WBC - it was always going to be pro-Canada. And its also a reflection of the way team USA carried themselves. It will die within a couple of days.

Skenes pitched in the semis

The location benefit them, for sure. Aside from location, the scheduling was kind of bush league. Some teams got to circle back to their ace for the last game of pool play (like Cuba against us) because they had 4 days off after their first game. We didn't get that luxury and had to play Cuba using our 4th starter against their ace, And then USA had a game off between their semi-final and final, but Venezuela didn't. So USA's relivers were rested while Venezuela's guys had to go back to back earlier than they would typically.

Regular people can’t possibly understand what it’s like to sacrifice for the homeland and do battle in the trenches. The enemy must be kept in front of you at all times.

MRI Reveals New Elbow Inflammation for José Berríos
BTS replied to Leo Morgenstern's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
So rotation is basically set then? Gausman Cease Ponce Scherzer Lauer With Yesavage hopefully stepping in for Lauer within a start or two? -
This is just really uncomfortable to watch
-
Sucks we're not going to the Olympics. Canada with Freeman, Pivetta, Tong, Brash, and Smith could have won some games
-
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?

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.

Team USA came off as a bunch of joyless uptight losers, and it’s incredible that they lost
-
lmao at that call. Jesus Christ
-
f***, no reason to run into that out
-
Severino is throwing gas
-
So if Venezuela loses, Canada probably qualifies for the olympics, and if they lose big Canada almost definitely qualifies?
-
Anyone know where we stand vs. Puerto Rico for Olympic qualification? Doo we need to root for Italy to pile on runs?
-
The Olympic qualification aspect is another reason why the Taillon decision was so stupid. I’m not convinced Whitt was even aware of how important it was to limit USA to as few runs as possible, even in a loss. Baseball canada just feels very unserious
-
Taillon
-
I don’t think I’ll ever get past the fact that they didn’t use a bona fide MLB starter who hadn’t pitched in 4 days but used a 38-year old who’s been retired for 7 years
-
Is Taillon not available? Why is Aumont pitching?
-
Have to miss this one tonight, and not really bothered by it given the expected result.
-
I think the team should be willing to burn Soroka and Taiilon here, then figure out the semi-final if they somehow win the game. Soroka 3-4 Taillon 3-4 Paxton cleans up the rest. That's at least all MLB quality arms. Those guys are capable of shutting down any lineup, even if its very unlikely.
-
He'll definitely get a camp invite if he wants one. Lefties who throw 96-97 with a great slider don't grow on trees. I'd like to see him give relieving a go. Just air it out for an inning at a time.
-
That's outrageous lol
-
I don't see how we wouldn't play the US. We won Pool A. Italy will be 4-0 and will win Pool B. Two pool winners shouldn't be playing each other in the quarters.
-
Mexico has f***ed us. We get USA on Saturday lol
