I get SPs are likely only going to pitch once (maybe twice), but having a guy (Kershaw) who wasn't going to pitch in any competitive scenario all of a sudden become ....Joe Ryan ... seems a bit unfair and against the spirit of the tournament

I remember when Melancon was on the Giants and USA added him literally just for the final. It's just ticky tack.

Like I imagine there has to be a group text at MLB/WBC headquarters seeing the Skubal thing and now more USA pitchers leaving halfway through and being like this is bad for the tournament

The WBC is very great but they need to stop with the half-commitment, "I'll be around for one round and then go back to spring training" guys. Needs to be you're on the team for the whole thing (barring injury) or you aren't.

If the government really is worried about Iranian sleeper cells, then it was probably a mistake to systematically reorient the majority of US counterterror resources toward arresting immigrant grandmothers and five-year-olds in bunny hats

Hate him soooooooooooo much

What a horrible loss for Villanova

Look when you’re right you’re right

Its pretty insane that it was 81 degrees yesterday at this time and now snowing

Have we come up with a name for the policy of transferring immigrants to places they have zero connection to, don’t speak the language, and are often active war zones?

I’d vote for “concentration flights.”

I'm so angry.

Went 7/8 on teams making the quarterfinals

GFY to all involved

Odds they will fuck with this timeslot so that it becomes the USA game? Or will we really get primetime FOX Italy baseball?

Yeah it was only 5-0 when I posted. Clinched now.

USA to the quarters. FOX and MLB breathe a huge sigh of relief

One more Italy run clinches it for USA right?

USA bailed out by Italy

When Morgan Wallen releases a new album

Canada ADVANCE to the quarterfinals of the WBC for the first time in history after taking down Cuba in their final game! 🇨🇦

I'm so so happy for Canada Baseball

No more Tubi night in America.

Wild! That's such a good game too but I guess lower stakes.

Wait did they switch Italy/Mexico off Tubi?

Kyle Harrison will be an NL All Star this year

Twitter trying to make USA Baseball a culture war issue lol

I may not be a Christian, but I thought this was pretty much the whole point of Christ? Do the republicans think Christ would have been *doing* the kidnapping?

USA with an absolutely stacked roster and one of the easiest groups imaginable and do not control their own destiny even remotely. Very wild turn of events. MLB has to be sick but shows how unpredictable this tournament is.

Now updated that it's 8-6 Italy over USA in WBC as USA bats in 9th:
