One of the SN's, I checked Tubi nothing

Lauers a pretty crafty pitcher, with good game plans, he can do this s***.

Schlittler's going to be a pain in the ass for years.

Yeah, he was solid, during the broadcast they showed that gear he uses to keep himself over the rubber, it was cool information.

Meaningless?

Canadian History, Cool... now make more!

Okay... Paxton's getting a NRI after this.

We're in... one game at a time, 🇨🇦 got this.

Cue the circus music... lol... 🤡

Caissie for MVP!

Just use Paxton again and blow his arm into oblivion, f***head never came and played for us when he was a dominant MLB pitcher. Dude's been great.

That'd be f***in' sweet.

Should be 8 minimum.

Look further up I said how can Italy be better than Canada(to Jays24 dumn-dumn), that's where it stems from, PR dropped big cause of their issues. Italy ranked 12th.

I'm now going to ask the same question? PR were 4th in the World Ranks, the players they had that couldn't play dropped their Power Ranking to 7, how's stat confusing. Here were the Power Ranks coming into the day prior to the tournament. The World Baseball Classic is, at last, almost here. The 2026 Classic will kick off at 10 p.m. ET Wednesday night in Tokyo, and by Friday, all four pools will be underway, with games also taking place in Houston, Miami and San Juan, Puerto Rico. Only three teams have ever won the WBC: Japan (three times), the Dominican Republic (once) and the United States (once). But the beauty of baseball in this high-stakes tournament format is that anyone can. 2026 World Baseball Classic Pool B (Houston) & Pool D (Miami) presented by Capital One • Tiebreaker scenarios for USA, Mexico, Italy • Schedule and how to watch • WBC scoreboard • Standings and tiebreakers • Tickets • Rosters • Players by MLB team • Complete coverage With games set to begin, we had 20 MLB.com voters cast ballots, ranking the WBC teams, one through 20. It was an incredibly close race, with the top three teams – in fact, those same three with previous WBC titles – ending up in a virtual tie. But based on a points system (three points for a first-place vote, two points for a second and one point for a third), one team narrowly came out on top. Fortunately, we’re about to play a whole bunch of games to find out who’s really No. 1. Mar 21, 2023 · 0:28 Ohtani fans Trout, seals Classic 1. Japan Top MLB players: DH Shohei Ohtani, RHP Yoshinobu Yamamoto, OF Seiya Suzuki They are the defending champs, a three-time winner and the No. 1-ranked team in the world. Unfortunately, Ohtani’s not pitching this time. But you may remember what happened the last time Yamamoto took the mound in a big game. 2. United States Top MLB players: OF Aaron Judge, RHP Paul Skenes, LHP Tarik Skubal We all remember how close they came last time, and that was when they didn’t have anything close to the pitching staff they do now. This is almost certainly the most talent Team USA has ever had. Now’s the time. Mar 1, 2026 · 2:12 Aaron Judge on his excitement for the Classic 3. Dominican Republic Top MLB players: OF Julio Rodríguez, 1B Vladimir Guerrero Jr., OF Juan Soto There’s not just star power everywhere on the field, there’s star power in the dugout, too. Albert Pujols has the ultimate opportunity to make the case for a big league managerial job by winning the D.R.’s first title since 2013. 4. Venezuela Top MLB players: OF Ronald Acuña Jr., C William Contreras, LHP Ranger Suárez They were one of the most exciting teams in 2023, going undefeated before losing a 7-5 eighth-inning lead in a quarterfinals defeat to Team USA. Feb 26, 2026 · 1:34 Willson Contreras on playing with his brother in WBC 5. Mexico Top MLB players: C Alejandro Kirk, OF Jarren Duran, OF Randy Arozarena The lineup is the strength for a team that made a surprise run to the semifinals in 2023. If Mexico’s offense can get them to the end of the game with a lead, Andrés Muñoz will be ready to shut the door. 6. Puerto Rico Top MLB players: 3B Nolan Arenado, RHP Edwin Díaz, RHP Seth Lugo Puerto Rico has gotten more headlines for the players who aren’t on the roster than those who are, but manager Yadier Molina will get everything out of them that he can. 7. Korea Top MLB players: OF Jung Hoo Lee, INF Shay Whitcomb, INF Hyeseong Kim After finishing second back in 2009, they haven't made it out of the group stage since. But there is a lot of talent here, some of which MLB fans are not yet familiar with and some that will bring back fond memories (Hyun Jin Ryu).

Canada Top MLB players: 1B Josh Naylor, OF Tyler O’Neill, RHP Jameson Taillon Canada has a real opportunity to advance out of the group stage for the first time in WBC history. That’s partly because of a favorable assignment in Pool A, where Puerto Rico and Cuba may not be as strong as in past years, and partly because Canada has assembled more talent than ever before.

What are they supposed to do, you send an invite and hope?

COMING IN BRO!!! PR would've been 4 prior.

Italy was ranked 12th coming in, bro. USA 2 Japan 1st

Yariel got his tits lit.

How is that possible when World rankings have PR 7 and Canada 8?

Cuba man, lmao.

Cuba gave us the run back possibly, hah.

Sure did well, good for him.
