Bad News for USA Baseball


Bad News for USA Baseball

Although the American team did squeak into the playoff round through sheer luck and a favor from Italy, unfortunately their second place finish in Pool B means a quarterfinal date with the vaunted Pool A winner Canada, who will be heavily favored against their overmatched neighbors to the south. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Re: Bad News for USA Baseball

Canada's recent history of playing the USA (Olympic Hockey) should not be reason for overconfidence 😉😉😉😊😊😊

Re: Re: Bad News for USA Baseball

Canada gave Team USA a good game at the World Baseball Classic.
So to recap the rivalry this year:

Baseball: USA 5, Canada 3
Olympic Men’s Hockey final: USA 2, Canada 1
Olympic Women’s Hockey final: USA 2, Canada 1

But the big news from Saturday was from the only sport that really matters, the only one that really counts - the Women’s World Curling Championship. In Round Robin play, Team Canada demolished Team USA 11-3, proving Canadian athletic superiority, and making the total aggregate score from all 2026 events:
Canada 16, USA 12.
Better luck next time. 😁

Great win vs Dominican Republic last night - but that 3rd strike to Perdomo........Challenge system for next WBC ?

Re: Re: Bad News for USA Baseball

agreed it was low, but that was a strike all night. swing the bat!! even if he walked, they still needed a hit. both teams had a couple calls that were borderline. i like the ABS hopefully it will be added eventually.

Reminded me of that old joke about why you would never hire Greg Maddux to paint your house because he only would paint the corners lol . My bracket was busted when Japan was eliminated , oh well , NCAA brackets here we come !!
