    WBC Title Game- USA vs JAPAN

    Tonight at 7.

    For anyone who has not watched a lot of it, it has exceeded ALL expectations I've had. The quality of ball has been great, and the matchups have been down to the last outs. Some unreal ABs and defensive plays. Arozarena has been amazing playing OF.

    It's been great. Tonight has a chance to be the most watched baseball game of all time.

    I have watched 4 innings of it. The US/ Mexico for 2 where Mexico blew it open.. then 2 last night where Japan tied it.. Mexico went back up and then Japan with the walk off. pretty cool atmosphere.

    Imagine being an Angels fan right now. Seeing the two best players in the game on a worldwide stage and realizing that even with those two players on your team you still can't make the playoffs.

    Trea Turner is a beast. Wish we could have gotten him.

    I was excited to get Turner out of the division for a couple years. I’m going to hate seeing him again.

    Hopefully we get to see him fall off a cliff with years and years left on his contract

    I am glad the Braves have not given 10 year contracts to any five year players.

    Worst bombing by Japan in US history. Can’t even think of a close second.

    I didn’t realize how underwhelming the US pitching staff was. Adam? Who the hell…?

    Meanwhile, Darvish and Ohtani warming up for Japan.

    I can’t stand McNeil even when he’s playing for my team.

    Kershaw tried to go but couldn't get insurance since he's injury prone. It's a shame nobody else wanted to. USA would have the pitching to deep dick the entire field.

    Yeah, we made it to the finals with a pitching staff that wouldn’t make most MLB rosters out of spring training. It would’ve been a massacre if we let our best pitchers pitch in this thing.
