Maybe if they dropped the cringe military LARP stuff and just had fun they wouldn't choke this bad? Just a thought
-
I am extremely satisfied
-
Venezuela has the position players but not the arms. Some good short RP but the length is suspect! If Nola shoves it might not be close
-
Good point Next time the finals should be somewhere else Manfred can whine about the travel but he's sent MLB teams to f***ing Japan for regular season games before has he not
-
Six inches below the zone! lol

Seems like it for Yesavage and Bieber Not so much Berrios -
Venezuela has legit bats They are probably a 35 to 40% chance to win in the finals
-
Doesn't include the Americas
-
I don't think so. Think this was the only qualifier
-
More runs plz Japan
-
There it is! The Red Sox new $130M pitcher gets rocked Japan has the required runs on the board. Just need them to win the game now
-
So Japan needs to win and score what, 4+ runs? The Olympics will be easy to make
-
Phew
-
Oh s***...
-
Well well well. Looking good for Canada in this one.
-
Nobody knows but speculation is that Canada has the tiebreak against PR due to head to head and the runs thing only matters for Venezuela (but may not matter at all if winning the group is considered finishing higher)
-
Dang. PR out to a quick lead
-
Qualifying for the f***ing Olympics was on the line and Ernie Schlitt left like four of their better pitchers on the bench. Lol!
-
All I saw was "personal reasons"
-
Wait maybe runs don't matter for the Olympic tiebreaker since Canada won their pool and PR/Ven did not?
-
Mixed emotions. Happy it was a game. Happy most of the players showed up. Disappointed in Naylor and O'Neill but it is literally spring training so can't be mad. Mad at Whitt for using Aumont who is one of their worst RP, probably. Mad the game plan did not involve Taillon and Paxton but they could justify that by saying they were playing to try and win the tournament not just this game. Disappointed that the glaring roster weakness (missing Brash, Cade Smith) was what did them in. Holding USA to 5 runs means there is a chance of Olympic qualification if Venezuela and Puerto Rico lose and give up a good amount of runs in the process. It's possible.

Dolton Varsho random 10 WAR Jacoby Ellsbury szn plz
-
100% They'll have to beat DR to make the finals anyway, and two 10% upsets in a row is just too much to ask for. Go all in for this win, treat it like your gold medal game.
-
Olympics qualification.... two teams from the Americas qualify through this WBC but USA as the 2028 automatically qualifies so I assume that means the top two non USA teams. Venezuela, PR, and Canada all went 3-1. DR went 4-0. What happens if Ven, PR, and Canada all lose in the QF? DR qualifies for the Olympics, but then is spot #2 decided by a tie-breaker formula? There is a lot at stake here! Looks like the tiebreaker would be "runs allowed per recorded defensive out" so I guess we need to hope PR and Ven get blown out and then Canada, even if they lose, somehow hold USA to a reasonable run total LMAO
-
I think Paxton is allowed to pitch tomorrow. 80 pitches seems to be the limit in the QF. Soroka 5 shutout innings using 81 pitches, then Paxton 4 shutout innings throwing 97 the entire time? Canada wins 2-0.
