Come anticipate the World Baseball Classic with me

lol, wait when did the T go upside down? i guess costs had to be cut somewhere to make ends meet

the 19-year-old canadian pitcher had to pay for the disappointments of the last few US games. feel bad for the kid

Not going well for the 19 year old starter Canada’s got going for them… and holy shit John smoltz is intolerable

"salutes galore in the first inning for team usa"

lol, they also just mentioned a "team cycle" in the first inning

i think of morbs now for how much he would hated all of this lol

I must be channeling him because I am still seething about how awful smoltz was to listen to

12-1, 2nd inning. this might be a 15-run/5-inning mercy candidate

smoltzy

I would have happily watched Canada get smoked for another 3-5 innings, but I just cannot take any more of this this clown that the broadcast is apparently centred around.
Goodnight!

looks like puerto rico threw a combined no-hitter against israel

combined perfect game, rather

john smoltz does not know the words to a single song. i like that about him though

two scoreless innings in the Canada/Colombia game so far - unthinkable!!

excited to see this Edouard Julien kid make the bigs. some seriously great looking ABs these last three games.
Young, Caissie and (to a lesser degree) Robson all look promising too.

and how could i forget future Blue Jays legend, Otto Lopez!!!

welp. unless the US loses by 12 runs tonight, Canada is out.

big game between Puerto Rico and Dominican Republican tonight, with the winner advancing. wish i could watch!

venezuela was the only team besides japan to go 4-0 in "pool play" (still having trouble saying or thinking "pool play")

I enjoy the atmosphere of WBC but please sir i beg you bring on the pitch clock

PR/DR game was great. still not sure how/when diaz fucked up his knee, appeared to be after the game ended

Looked like the mildest celebrating is ever seen. I guess he just landed awkwardly?

uhh early report js that Diaz may miss the entire season :/

WHAT AN END

heartbreaker

God damn this has been great, sorry it has to end

That was one of the best games I've ever watched.

lfg Team Japan

so uhhh why isn't regular MLB like this??

I was pulling for Mexico last night but I can't deny this has the makings of a classic final, go USA!

my gf is leaving town for a while late tonight, and we are scrambling trying to find a restaurant or bar that might be showing the final that's near the train station (this seems to be impossible)

what about Real Sports?

Leafs (barf)

Doc Ellis is. But nowhere near the station

hey i didn’t say it’d be pleasant to be in there lol

I haven't watched any of these games and was getting excited about tuning in tonight until I realized it's on Fox Sports

John Smoltz, you were my hero when you pitched for the Barves, but god DAMN man could you PLEASE shut the fuck UP

Update: watching at hoops

Sitting in the “Japan” section - so this will be fun

Schwarbomb

So - Ohtani innthe 9th?!

ohtani vs trout should be fun

Another amazing ending

was hoping they'd meet in the middle and hug like on that hockey episode of the Simpsons

That was a good game but imho the Mexico game had a bit of everything any real baseball fan could ask for.

Also, not looking forward to the incoming hazing for the next couple weeks haha. Already getting taunted 3.5 days before arrival.
