First time since 2017. Starts tomorrow night, Cuba vs Netherlands. Dominican team is loaded and should be favorites. Most games appear to be on FS1/2. The 2017 WBC kicked all kinds of ass, but it did have more stars playing in it iirc. Hopefully this edition gets close to that.

I’ll be mostly pulling for Mexico I guess, although England or the Czechs making some noise would be the most awesome.

Is there a law against Cuban national teams ever having a good-looking uniform?

The Dutch team… or more accurately “Curaçao players & a bunch of scrubs”

My dad texted me : how does the Netherlands have so many black players ?

You ever been to Florida? The only thing shittier than their defensive coordinators is their color palette.

Same reason the United States has black players.

And they usually overachieve in this tournament. I enjoy them.

History of slavery?

 

As an aside, we only have four on the team by my count.  We've reached NHL territory.

Yep.

 Yeah well we knew that was coming for awhile. But it seems like there are more black players in college baseball now so maybe that trend will eventually reverse itself.

I can't take the music and drill team when Taiwan is batting.

Japan has gotta be the favorite. 

Kyle Tucker is my pick for US MVP. Lefty bats tend to play in these type of tournaments (heavy rhp fastball pitching)

They might win it all, but the favorite has to be D.R.  They stackt.

At least he is playing somewhere while Brantley is over there dicking around

No way.  DR has to be the favorite.  

US is arguably just as stacked as DR lineup wise. Japan has the arms although Darvish will probably blow it for them

Wow, the USA games start at 9pm ET or 10pm ET. They don't want most of the country to watch?

Did Cano roid back up for this?  Because I can't think of any other reason to bat him 5th in that lineup.

Pena should be 2nd.  /Dusty, probably

I guess the only requirement to qualify for Italy is you have ever eaten a piece of pizza?

Quote

To be eligible for the roster, a player must have an Italian passport, be a legal resident of the country, have a parent from the country or present documentary evidence that he would be granted citizenship or a passport in due course under Italian laws, if he were to apply for such citizenship or passport.

So basically be citizen or resident of Italy or have a parent who is Italian. I don't really know what it means to be granted citizenship if you were to apply, so maybe all you need a grandparent who was Italian.

They do have a pro league in Italy and traditionally have been pretty decent for Europeans but...to win in this tournament you need a few ringers. And DeLuzio, Mastrobuoni, Pasquatino, and Valente were not born in Italy either. Most of the native born Italians on the team are pitchers.

However the Czech team that is currently dominating the Chinese seems to be filled with Czechs, who knew they played so much Baseball in Prague?

Why are the Cubans sucking so bad? This was supposed to be their big moment with the Cuban government finally agreeing not to throw all their major leaguers in prison and stuff.

Well shortly after I posted that Cuba absolutely obliterated the Panamanians with 21 hits, so maybe I should make a similar post whenever Texas is sucking.

Fucking Chuckles is on the Italian roster.

Rizzo played for them in 2013. Had grandparents from there.

China-Australia is supposed to be on FS2 right now but there sticking with some kind of 'neck car in a crash delay.
