Speaker 1: FT Live postgame show. It's presented by Fox One.
0:06
Speaker 2: That's where you can.
0:07
Speaker 1: Watch all World Baseball Classic games. Scott Brown and A. J.
0:10
Speaker 1: Perzinski Team USA did it in front of a sold
0:14
Speaker 1: out crowd. What did they do? They beat Mexico for
0:17
Speaker 1: the first time in twenty years. Yeah, in this tournament's
0:19
Speaker 1: crazy right at the long ass time.
0:21
Speaker 3: It is a long time. But listen, it was a
0:24
Speaker 3: good game. It was a well played game. US depth
0:28
Speaker 3: came through for him. They didn't one inning really kind
0:32
Speaker 3: of the USA. The two homers, one by Judge, one
0:35
Speaker 3: by Room in Anthony. Great defensive play, by the way,
0:38
Speaker 3: you didn't if you've never seen Bobby Whip play defense
0:40
Speaker 3: and you watch this game. Wow, bullpen came through the
0:44
Speaker 3: Clevenger Jacks got the huge double play from Kirk and
0:48
Speaker 3: then obviously Whitlock at the end. But Schemes was Steams,
0:53
Speaker 3: he was Skeens was.
0:56
Speaker 2: Good.
0:56
Speaker 3: Book.
0:57
Speaker 1: You got a good one. Pirates fans. Seven strikeouts, four innings,
0:59
Speaker 1: one hit. And it means a little extra for him
1:03
Speaker 1: because he started his college career at air Force.
1:05
Speaker 3: And by the way, that was so cool that Skimes
1:08
Speaker 3: and Jack said. The whole US air Force baseball team
1:11
Speaker 3: they paid for them to sit like right behind the dugout.
1:13
Speaker 1: That was so awesome, so classy, so perfect. US defeats
1:19
Speaker 1: Mexico five to three. So here's the deal. The US
1:22
Speaker 1: still has to win one more game to clinch the quarterfinals.
1:26
Speaker 1: I mean they don't have to, but if they do,
1:28
Speaker 1: obviously they go four and oh, and they're in good
1:32
Speaker 1: shape heading into a quarterfinal where before that they're taking
1:37
Speaker 1: on Italy tomorrow.
1:39
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll be a tougher test nine o'clock.
1:41
Speaker 1: I don't even say that that Mexico lost by two runs,
1:44
Speaker 1: like this was a valiant efforts by the team by
1:47
Speaker 1: a team.
1:47
Speaker 2: That holds out.
1:48
Speaker 1: I have to check it because I don't remember the name.
1:51
Speaker 1: Manny Barreta started the game thirty seven years old, three appearances.
1:56
Speaker 1: He had like a five year three appearance in the
1:58
Speaker 1: majors five years ago, had like five r in the
2:00
Speaker 1: Mexican League, going up against Paul Skeens, and I know
2:03
Speaker 1: they'd only get to pitch like half the game, but
2:06
Speaker 1: they lost by two runs. Durant had two homers, They
2:08
Speaker 1: got to a little bit an awful lefty.
2:12
Speaker 3: They fought, yeah, they did, and they did a good job.
2:15
Speaker 3: They kind of mixed and match their their matchups. Benji
2:18
Speaker 3: Gil did a nice job mixing and matching. Bardo was fine.
2:23
Speaker 3: I mean if places loaded in the first and he
2:25
Speaker 3: got cal Raley, so that was huge. Just a bad
2:29
Speaker 3: bad swing from Cal too, like two change ups and
2:31
Speaker 3: then a cutter at his knee and he swung at
2:33
Speaker 3: it like three quarters like half swung at an emergency
2:35
Speaker 3: act at it. And then after that. I mean, really
2:38
Speaker 3: it was the one inning for US. The two homers
2:40
Speaker 3: in the one inning. That was the only offense the
2:42
Speaker 3: US had. I mean they had chances. Bobby Witt hit
2:44
Speaker 3: a leadoff double, didn't move past second. Yeah, this is
2:50
Speaker 3: a good, well played game. It was fun to watch.
2:52
Speaker 3: The crowd was into it. It was it was a
2:56
Speaker 3: good baseball game. I mean, US is just good. Man.
3:00
Speaker 3: It was not bad either. Mexico just didn't get that
3:02
Speaker 3: big hit right when they Kirk. They kind of had
3:05
Speaker 3: their guy up. Kirk got to three to two and
3:07
Speaker 3: hit the double play was at the seventh the eighth inning,
3:10
Speaker 3: I guess it was so, I mean there was they
3:12
Speaker 3: had some chances. They just didn't. Uh, they didn't get
3:16
Speaker 3: it done.
3:17
Speaker 1: That was the time to strike, which they did a
3:20
Speaker 1: little bit. In the eighth inning, Duran hits another one. Yeah,
3:23
Speaker 1: there's some punch in that offense. They're going up against
3:27
Speaker 1: pretty scary pitching staff. But tm USA bop two homers,
3:33
Speaker 1: one Yankee, one red SoC.
3:36
Speaker 3: All good win the game.
3:37
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, see Anthony shot though, how freaking far that
3:42
Speaker 2: thing went on.
3:44
Speaker 3: He's going to be a study. And by the way,
3:46
Speaker 3: I mean Bryce Raan Roman, Anthony got pegged at the
3:49
Speaker 3: play and everyone's saying it was a bad sin by
3:51
Speaker 3: Dino Evil. It took an absolutely perfect relay. If that
3:54
Speaker 3: ball is a foot either way safe, So I know
3:58
Speaker 3: they showed him maybe slowing down a little bit, but
4:00
Speaker 3: there's two outs. Roman, like, you.
4:02
Speaker 2: Gotta go, bro, what about judges throw?
4:06
Speaker 3: Judge just throw? That was dumb by doing. I mean,
4:08
Speaker 3: I know they're trying to push the envelope, but Judge's
4:10
Speaker 3: playing shallow. He comes in and just it was a
4:13
Speaker 3: one hop right to him, I mean perfect right. Money
4:16
Speaker 3: Bregnant kind of deeped him, act like there was no throw.
4:18
Speaker 3: Boom tagged him out.
4:19
Speaker 2: I know what happened. They had last year's scouting report,
4:23
Speaker 2: maybe remember a perfect throats.
4:26
Speaker 3: This was a great This is a this is a
4:28
Speaker 3: great baseball game as well.
4:29
Speaker 1: Play game judge's elbow last year, no offense, but he
4:32
Speaker 1: didn't have it for a couple of months.
4:34
Speaker 3: We also threw that ball from shallow like shallow shallow
4:37
Speaker 3: right field.
4:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Yankee fans should be like, oh hey, he
4:40
Speaker 1: can throw again, he can throw.
4:42
Speaker 3: This is a great game. This is a great game.
4:45
Speaker 1: For fans of you know, their particular major league teams.
4:49
Speaker 1: You get to get a little look at how your
4:51
Speaker 1: guy looks heading into the season. Some good signs there.
4:56
Speaker 1: If you're a Red Sox fan and you're excited for
4:58
Speaker 1: Roman Anthony to try and carry the offense.
5:01
Speaker 3: There's a lot of There was a lot of good
5:02
Speaker 3: signs in this game for a lot of teams.
5:04
Speaker 2: Duran too actually rand.
5:05
Speaker 3: Two homers off a lefty. I think he hit three
5:06
Speaker 3: homers off of lefty the entire year last year. Alec
5:11
Speaker 3: Thomas has looked really nice. He's had a really nice tournament. Uh,
5:15
Speaker 3: kind of a guy that people have been waiting for
5:16
Speaker 3: for a while to to jump in and become like
5:20
Speaker 3: a little bit of a star. Who else look at
5:24
Speaker 3: Vanessa's had another couple hits. That dude, all he does
5:26
Speaker 3: is hit against the US right two for two off
5:29
Speaker 3: the bench. All he does is get hits, all against
5:31
Speaker 3: you lefties. Well he got the one off Whitlock in
5:34
Speaker 3: the ninth too.
5:35
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Gammons.
5:37
Speaker 1: By the way, Peter Gammons tweeted about Roman Anthony and
5:39
Speaker 1: said or sorry about Jared Durant and said they believe
5:43
Speaker 1: taking his hand off the bat in his swing has
5:45
Speaker 1: changed the be low power use of his added strength
5:47
Speaker 1: in the whole field, and that appears to be heading
5:49
Speaker 1: to the best season of his increasingly accomplished career.
5:52
Speaker 2: Well really, but that could.
5:55
Speaker 1: Be a huge boost for He's all over trade rumors
5:58
Speaker 1: all the time, and he's raking for Mexico. Mexico still
6:02
Speaker 1: has a chance, by the way.
6:03
Speaker 3: Okay, they're fine, they'll go to the next round.
6:07
Speaker 2: They can beat Italy.
6:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, and both of those teams look pretty good and
6:10
Speaker 1: potentially evenly matched. Italy's got maybe a little bit of
6:14
Speaker 1: an edge on the pitching side.
6:16
Speaker 2: Who they got Nola and Lorenzo.
6:19
Speaker 3: They haven't pitched, ye, hold on, I'm looking right now.
6:23
Speaker 3: Who's tomorrow? I didn't say who's pitching yet.
6:27
Speaker 2: Well, remember the other day we went through Team Italy's.
6:29
Speaker 3: Roster and I haven't watched every game of this thing.
6:35
Speaker 2: Tough to do. Maybe somebody in the chat can help us.
6:38
Speaker 3: But Quatorinini be great, Britain, Quatini, Quatriini.
6:47
Speaker 2: I have Nola Lorenzen pitched yet, I don't know.
6:49
Speaker 3: I'm looking right now trying to find it. H Jacob
6:53
Speaker 3: won the first game.
6:56
Speaker 2: Uh, this is ribon and stuff right now.
7:01
Speaker 3: No, no, no for that game. No for their first game,
7:07
Speaker 3: and then they must have they probably saved those guys.
7:11
Speaker 3: Looks like they saved them.
7:12
Speaker 2: That would make sense to.
7:14
Speaker 3: The pitched Maronaccio's pitch. Ok Festa Patrini, So that would
7:23
Speaker 3: I would say, Nola, And now here's the question, do
7:26
Speaker 3: you do you go, Nola Lorenzo, do you piggyback them
7:29
Speaker 3: and you just save them for Mexico and say we're
7:32
Speaker 3: going to piggyback these dudes on the same game and
7:33
Speaker 3: try to win that game.
7:36
Speaker 1: Against Nola's starting against Mexico on the eleventh for sure, Yes,
7:45
Speaker 1: and then let's see lorenz In.
7:46
Speaker 2: But I agree with.
7:47
Speaker 1: You go with both your guys there, right because you're
7:52
Speaker 1: just worried about advancing to the next round, or you
7:54
Speaker 1: should be. Who cares what the US says to you
7:58
Speaker 1: and obviously want to beat them and pull off a
8:00
Speaker 1: great upset, but not necessarily.
8:03
Speaker 3: Not the necessary thing. Yeah, you got to win one
8:05
Speaker 3: of the next two to get to the next round.
8:08

Speaker 3: Show, Yeah, what we said, he wasn't gonna pitch. We
9:15
Speaker 3: kind of knew that.
9:16
Speaker 2: I don't know. I thought there was a chance.
9:17
Speaker 3: There was a chance, but then the Tigers were like no,
9:20
Speaker 3: either Tiger's Scott Boris or somebody got in his ear
9:22
Speaker 3: and was like, hey for all of them, or everybody's
9:25
Speaker 3: family and family. His family's like, hey, you could make
9:28
Speaker 3: like four hundred million, dude, let's not have this happen.
9:34
Speaker 3: But he was there tonight. They kept showing him. He
9:36
Speaker 3: was still in the dugout in the reports. I saw
9:39
Speaker 3: where he's going back to Lakeland. Apparently he stayed one
9:41
Speaker 3: more night.
9:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw he's leaving now after the game, is
9:48
Speaker 1: what they had said.
9:49
Speaker 3: So they got that PJ. I guess there's no flight
9:52
Speaker 3: to Lakeland right now. At eight eleven pm, Central.
9:56
Speaker 2: Not quite. There aren't many flights to Lakeland.
9:59
Speaker 3: Very even the Flying Tigers can't get there.
10:03
Speaker 1: By the way, just quick side note, Uh, Team Puerto
10:06
Speaker 1: Rico advanced. They beat Cuba.
10:09
Speaker 3: Ah, they won. Yeah, there was raining and I was
10:11
Speaker 3: kind of trying to flip back and forth. But it
10:12
Speaker 3: was raining for to one.
10:15
Speaker 2: Do you know, by the way, do you know because
10:16
Speaker 2: I didn't really watch.
10:17
Speaker 3: That Venezuela advance, right, So Venezuela verus Dominican for the
10:21
Speaker 3: one or for the one or two seed tomorrow?
10:23
Speaker 1: Yes, Wednesday, Today's Monday, right, yeah, Wednesday. Maldonado By the way,
10:28
Speaker 1: Martin Maldonado at a three run double in the bottom
10:29
Speaker 1: of the second.
10:31
Speaker 2: Good for him, still kicking.
10:35
Speaker 3: Dominicans. The Venezuela on that's going to determine who plays Japan.
10:42
Speaker 3: You want to win that.
10:42
Speaker 2: Game, so you don't have to play Japan.
10:45
Speaker 3: Till the semifinals, right, and then you get Korea first.
10:49
Speaker 2: Oh, huge difference, major difference.
10:51
Speaker 1: Yes, Yes, I think that will probably be the most
10:57
Speaker 1: lit game of.
11:00
Speaker 2: All of pool play.
11:05
Speaker 1: You have two vaunted you have two I mean, super
11:07
Speaker 1: scary all star lineups right with Venezuela and Meinican Republic
11:13
Speaker 1: And did you hear them on the broadcast when Mark
11:16
Speaker 1: de Rosa was trying to defend how they're having fun.
11:21
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody doubts that.
11:23
Speaker 3: You know, he's like just because they had fun.
11:25
Speaker 1: Well, but they talked about on the broadcast and Ken
11:28
Speaker 1: chimed in. Dero didn't say it during the game. He
11:31
Speaker 1: said it to the broadcasters like Joe Davis and John Smoltz.
11:33
Speaker 1: I guess maybe before the game, Like, our guys are
11:35
Speaker 1: having fun too. They don't pimp Homers for twenty minutes
11:39
Speaker 1: and do a whole dance around the field. You know
11:43
Speaker 1: they're having a great time. But Venezuela and Dominican, Oh
11:46
Speaker 1: my gosh, the celebration.
11:48
Speaker 3: Think about that game. That game is for all the marvels.
11:52
Speaker 2: The Wednesday game. Yes, but they're both going to advance.
11:54
Speaker 3: But still, you trust me, you don't want to play,
11:57
Speaker 3: You don't want to play Japan. Yeah, you want Korea first.
11:59
Speaker 3: I mean I can't wait because I get to do
12:03
Speaker 3: the Japan versus either one of those in Miami is
12:06
Speaker 3: gonna be insanity. But those two playing against each other
12:10
Speaker 3: on Wednesday in Miami with that crowd and any whoever
12:16
Speaker 3: hits a home run, it might the game might never end.
12:19
Speaker 3: They might never just they might just never make it
12:21
Speaker 3: around because they're gonna stop and do so many things
12:24
Speaker 3: along the way. I mean, Junior Kevin, do you see
12:27
Speaker 3: Tatisia's great? I mean Junior Kevin Earo. When he hits
12:29
Speaker 3: a home er, it takes him twelve minutes to get
12:31
Speaker 3: around the bases, which is I It was fine.
12:33
Speaker 2: He did that last year and then when Dominican we.
12:36
Speaker 3: Had him on after it and he talked about it, and
12:38
Speaker 3: I was like, are you tired from.
12:40
Speaker 2: Do you know what else he did today? There's some reporter.
12:43
Speaker 3: Tony I respect the hell out of him for doing.
12:45
Speaker 2: That, who was like, he won't be on the roster, and.
12:48
Speaker 3: Then he was like he went to ask him a question,
12:50
Speaker 3: he just walked away. Ben the hits, I haven't done it.
12:53
Speaker 1: And there's probably people that look at him like, oh,
12:56
Speaker 1: that's rude.
12:56
Speaker 2: It's like, okay, look back at context.
12:58
Speaker 1: He got called out and it was a fun now
13:01
Speaker 1: viral moment from a very good kid in the sport
13:04
Speaker 1: who hits tanks. Anyway, back to you ask for a moment,
13:09
Speaker 1: is there anything that gives you hesitation that they might
13:12
Speaker 1: have significant trouble in the quarter semis or final game.
13:18
Speaker 1: What about the pitching plans that we talked about earlier
13:21
Speaker 1: today and how they have to be very meticulous with
13:25
Speaker 1: who gets work on what days to set everything up. Yes,
13:32
Speaker 1: do you think it's going to be like that? Yes,
13:34
Speaker 1: in the quarter semis and final. Yes, because you were
13:37
Speaker 1: just with them. I talked to.
13:39
Speaker 2: Pitch this guy this day, this guy that day, This
13:41
Speaker 2: guy can't.
13:41
Speaker 3: Wait close the game today, hadn't touched the mountain.
13:45
Speaker 2: He makes to pitch.
13:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, Garrett Clevenger, Why did he pitch? That is his name, right?
13:50
Speaker 3: I want to keep calling him Steve Clevenger, but that's
13:52
Speaker 3: not I know that's not the right name.
13:53
Speaker 2: Keep calling him Mike who was in the bigs for
13:55
Speaker 2: a while too.
13:56
Speaker 3: I know Starter anyway, But anyways, Clevenger had to pitch.
13:59
Speaker 3: He hadn't touched mound yet, right, What like Matthew Boy
14:02
Speaker 3: got in some trouble. Why do you think nobody was
14:03
Speaker 3: up and coming in? He had to get to his
14:04
Speaker 3: pitch count. So there's there's just so many more things
14:08
Speaker 3: that DeRosa has to deal with. Because also DeRosa works,
14:12
Speaker 3: let's be he works for mob. He's on MLB network
14:15
Speaker 3: all the time. He works for Amobi. He has that
14:18
Speaker 3: job because they like what he does.
14:20
Speaker 2: And he works for a mob and he has to
14:21
Speaker 2: take phone calls from all the team.
14:23
Speaker 3: He takes phone call after phone call after phone call.
14:25
Speaker 2: He's talked about it. It's not easy.
14:26
Speaker 3: No, it's not And there's I said, I've been saying this.
14:31
Speaker 3: The one way they can get caught is they get
14:32
Speaker 3: to a situation where they and they only have a
14:34
Speaker 3: couple of guys and he said this that can come
14:36
Speaker 3: in and with they call him dirty innings in the
14:39
Speaker 3: middle of an inning. He only has a couple of
14:40
Speaker 3: guys that are allowed to do that.
14:41
Speaker 1: Why couldn't they The rest of the guys have to
14:43
Speaker 1: start clean the more dirty inning guys.
14:46
Speaker 3: I didn't make the roster. I don't know.
14:50
Speaker 2: Two games in Houston, their first two games, and you
14:54
Speaker 2: were with them.
14:55
Speaker 3: He and they let them all finish the innings.
14:57
Speaker 1: Right, But he tried to put together the best team
14:59
Speaker 1: pop that wants to be there, that has a little
15:01
Speaker 1: less on the rules and restrictions.
15:03
Speaker 2: It doesn't sound like.
15:03
Speaker 3: The other thing they can do is you can't dry
15:05
Speaker 3: hump a guy. He said, if they get up, they're
15:07
Speaker 3: coming the game.
15:09
Speaker 2: Okay, no, they're not.
15:10
Speaker 3: Probably they are pitching. If a guy for US gets up,
15:13
Speaker 3: maybe Kershaw is the exception, sure, but if anybody else
15:18
Speaker 3: gets up, they are coming in the game. There is
15:20
Speaker 3: no They cannot dry hump anybody. That's not every team.
15:27
Speaker 1: That's gonna be tough, you know, if you're going up
15:29
Speaker 1: against the team that be when you get to the end.
15:34
Speaker 1: Japan doesn't give it.
15:35
Speaker 3: They should be able to survive all the Listen, they
15:37
Speaker 3: should make it to the finals. Okay, they should, they should.
15:43
Speaker 2: Okay, Puerto Rico.
15:45
Speaker 3: They should be.
15:47
Speaker 2: Is that who they're lined up to play?
15:49
Speaker 3: Well, they line up to play Puerto Rico or whoever
15:52
Speaker 3: finishes second. Whoever finishes second in the Puerto Rico Canada,
15:56
Speaker 3: I don't even know who's I don't know what the
15:58
Speaker 3: records are in that pool. Of course, isn't that Colombia
16:01
Speaker 3: Nicaro or no Colombia Panama? Cuba? So they could play Cuba.
16:05
Speaker 3: They should beat Cuba. Alexia Ramirez is fifty seven years
16:08
Speaker 3: old playing shorts Cuba.
16:10
Speaker 1: Okay, that's probably who they're going to play in the.
16:14
Speaker 3: Quarters, Cuba Canada. They should beat both those, Yeah, and
16:18
Speaker 3: they get Puerto Rico or probably Mexico again and they
16:21
Speaker 3: should beat both of those teams.
16:23
Speaker 2: Wow, So they just completely avoid Japan the finals, the finals, yes,
16:30
Speaker 2: it's nice, good.
16:32
Speaker 3: But then the finals by then, but they can you
16:34
Speaker 3: know what I think. I don't know when they can
16:35
Speaker 3: keep reloading guys, but I think in the finals you
16:37
Speaker 3: can reload two more guys in the bullpen.
16:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can add some more pitching from your pool.
16:42
Speaker 1: You know what I'll say about the bracket?
16:45
Speaker 3: It's interesting, isn't it? How it worked out?
16:46
Speaker 1: It is interesting, and the fan in me of course
16:50
Speaker 1: once USA to win, but I also am like, oh man,
16:53
Speaker 1: I would have loved to see them in a crazy
16:56
Speaker 1: quarter semis against one of those teams.
16:58
Speaker 3: Too, right. Can you imagine a quarterfinal Dominican US winner
17:03
Speaker 3: go home in Miami or even in Houston.
17:07
Speaker 1: It would be nuts best sporting event in my life,
17:12
Speaker 1: hands down, USA against Dominican Republic in Miami in twenty seventeen,
17:18
Speaker 1: calling the game hands down, best.
17:21
Speaker 3: Experience in my life is that year US one? Right?
17:24
Speaker 2: Yes, US one in twenty seventeen, but they won in
17:27
Speaker 2: San Diego. Yeah, this wasn't the final.
17:30
Speaker 3: It was like quarterfinal.
17:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, whatever, I don't even remember final that year. I
17:36
Speaker 1: don't think Japan was in it that year. Like I
17:39
Speaker 1: don't think Japan was in the final.
17:41
Speaker 3: I don't know.
17:42
Speaker 2: Might have been Puerto Rico was.
17:43
Speaker 3: It, I don't know, I don't know, it might have
17:46
Speaker 3: been Japan. US was twenty three, the seventeen the first
17:51
Speaker 3: one Japan be Korea, right, very first one, I mean Cuba,
17:55
Speaker 3: that was.
17:56
Speaker 2: The very first one. Yeah, that's the last time the
17:58
Speaker 2: US won Mexico. Full circle.
18:00
Speaker 1: Wait, I want to show the schedule for a moment
18:02
Speaker 1: coming up and then we'll keep chatting.
18:03
Speaker 2: We'll do our Player of the Game soon. So this
18:06
Speaker 2: is the Tuesday schedule.
18:08
Speaker 1: Now you can see where you can find those games,
18:10
Speaker 1: or you can find all of these games on the
18:13
Speaker 1: Fox one app if you sign up. But that includes
18:16
Speaker 1: Japan just playing a little basically.
18:21
Speaker 3: Ticket again.
18:21
Speaker 2: I think that a lot of people are waiting for
18:23
Speaker 2: that moment.
18:24
Speaker 1: Plus, the Japanese fans actually love check Ya apparently Otani
18:28
Speaker 1: like we're a hat or something for them. Last time
18:30
Speaker 1: around in the WBC, uh, we've got Canada taking on
18:35
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico Italy against USA.
18:37
Speaker 2: The headliner nine o'clock eastern.
18:39
Speaker 1: By the way, we'll have a postgame show for that one,
18:41
Speaker 1: we'll be on it around midnight, most likely nine o'clock
18:44
Speaker 1: Eastern Italy against USA. Mister Jersey, Todd Frazier and Eric
18:51
Speaker 1: Kratz will be with me after that game. But again
18:55
Speaker 1: Fox one app to watch all of those games, start
18:57
Speaker 1: your seven.
18:58
Speaker 2: Day free trial.
18:59
Speaker 1: To day they're airing every single World Baseball Classic game,
19:04
Speaker 1: so if you want to find it all in one place,
19:06
Speaker 1: it is very easy to do. So we'll do our
19:10
Speaker 1: Player of the game coming up in a moment. I'll
19:13
Speaker 1: take votes in the chat if anyone wants it.
19:17
Speaker 2: Yeah.
19:17
Speaker 1: By the way, in twenty seventeen, they beat Puerto Rico
19:20
Speaker 1: eight nothing. I just looked down at my notes or
19:23
Speaker 1: at the chat for the first time in a minute,
19:24
Speaker 1: and we've been asking all these different questions, going into
19:27
Speaker 1: random wormholes, and they've been providing almost all of the answers.
19:30
Speaker 2: So I appreciate that. But this is fun. It's been
19:34
Speaker 2: a fun ride so far watching all of these.
19:36
Speaker 3: It's been great. I mean, I love this event, so
19:38
Speaker 3: I think it's really cool. I mean it's hard to
19:40
Speaker 3: watch every game somewhehere at six in the morning and
19:42
Speaker 3: five and you know there's multiple games on at the
19:45
Speaker 3: same time, so you're flipping them back and forth. But
19:48
Speaker 3: it's a great event. I just I think they showed
19:53
Speaker 3: the Olympics in twenty eight how if they if they
19:56
Speaker 3: do it, how the teams will qualify us automatically? I
20:00
Speaker 3: know there's going to be like only like three good
20:02
Speaker 3: teams in the whole thing. It's like there's only but
20:04
Speaker 3: six or eight teams in the things. Six and one
20:08
Speaker 3: two are coming from Europe and Africa and once coming
20:11
Speaker 3: from Asia. It's like, I'm like, wait, what the heck?
20:15
Speaker 3: The whole thing is crazy.
20:17
Speaker 1: Did you hear when Bryce Harper was like, yeah, this
20:19
Speaker 1: is sick, but it's not the Olympics, And.
20:22
Speaker 2: I was like, I get what you're saying.
20:24
Speaker 1: That people will watch curling and everything else and act
20:29
Speaker 1: and it'll get big ratings for the Olympics. So there
20:32
Speaker 1: it is a different type of stage. But at the
20:34
Speaker 1: same time, I'm like, this is the stage in terms
20:36
Speaker 1: of all the teams getting into one place. The Olympics
20:38
Speaker 1: is going to have six teams, and like you mentioned,
20:40
Speaker 1: they're going to be missing half of the top six teams. Yes,
20:46
Speaker 1: so the team format the US will be in for
20:49
Speaker 1: the Olympics, and then the top two finishers out of
20:52
Speaker 1: like almost every other good team in this tournament. So
20:57
Speaker 1: Dr Venezuela Puerto Rico kinda to Mexico.
21:02
Speaker 3: So all of those teams, okay, so will make it
21:06
Speaker 3: Two teams from the America will will qualify from World
21:09
Speaker 3: Baseball Classic. Two teams will qualify through the Premiere twelve
21:14
Speaker 3: in November, with one being the highest placed team from
21:16
Speaker 3: Asia and the other from Europe or Oceania. Oceania which
21:22
Speaker 3: by the way, is not the plane that crashed and
21:24
Speaker 3: lost and they never found them or whatever they went
21:26
Speaker 3: to wherever, but not the name of it Ocean Airline,
21:28
Speaker 3: Ocean Airlines anyways, maybe, and the final team to qualify
21:32
Speaker 3: would be decided the final qualifying tournament, held no later
21:35
Speaker 3: than March twenty twenty eight. The tournament featured the top
21:38
Speaker 3: two teams unqualified teams from Asia, Europe, one team from Oceania,
21:44
Speaker 3: and the winner of the Africa Cup.
21:47
Speaker 1: Okay, but that's why this matters. Yeah, even for the
21:53
Speaker 1: non champ there's this is a qualifier for two other teams. Like, yes,
22:02
Speaker 1: if DR Venezuela, Dominican Republic or Venezuela doesn't advance to
22:08
Speaker 1: the Semis one of them probably doesn't make it.
22:12
Speaker 2: To the Olympics.
22:13
Speaker 3: What's funny is if I look, I'm looking at the
22:15
Speaker 3: premiere and we're away off the rails here Premiere twelve,
22:18
Speaker 3: and who's in it. It's the highest twelve ranked national teams.
22:22
Speaker 3: But if US is already in, and there's two other
22:24
Speaker 3: teams that already.
22:25
Speaker 2: In, right, so they're going off other teams that are
22:29
Speaker 2: ranked higher.
22:30
Speaker 3: It's just so there's none in Africa, Chinese type it's
22:32
Speaker 3: basically the WBC teams. It's it's literally.
22:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they're not from that tournament. They don't take
22:38
Speaker 1: the take in the Americas that qualify, So.
22:42
Speaker 3: The Netherlands, Australia, Type A, Japan and South Korea or
22:45
Speaker 3: the five.
22:45
Speaker 2: If you don't Japan you said, you say Japan in
22:48
Speaker 2: that list.
22:48
Speaker 3: Japan, Taype, Korea, Netherlands, Australia. There's only five from the America.
22:53
Speaker 1: So it'll be Japan and then it's basically the pool
22:56
Speaker 1: that we just saw.
22:57
Speaker 3: It'll be Japan, Korea, Type A, Australia, yeah, right, and
23:01
Speaker 3: throwing the Netherlands just for fun.
23:02
Speaker 2: It's basically the same group.
23:04
Speaker 1: Although yeah, Netherlands, I mean, but the Netherlands is going
23:07
Speaker 1: to have the big leaguers in that tournament. So again,
23:09
Speaker 1: why this is important? Yes, we are going completely off
23:14
Speaker 1: the rails. But any other thoughts dropped them in the
23:17
Speaker 1: comments if you were watching this, Let's finish with this
23:21
Speaker 1: thought as we will pick a player of the game.
23:23
Speaker 1: We're going to do these postgame shows after every game
23:25
Speaker 1: for Team USA and after the Dominican Republican against Venezuela
23:28
Speaker 1: on Wednesday. Your MLB Rivals player of the game, Roman Anthony.
23:35
Speaker 2: It's a Roman Anthony.
23:36
Speaker 3: I didn't even get a vote.
23:37
Speaker 2: He had the deciding homer.
23:38
Speaker 3: I didn't even get a vote.
23:39
Speaker 2: Who were you going to vote?
23:40
Speaker 3: False skins? Four innings, one hit, seven punches voting? Dude,
23:44
Speaker 3: Come on, I didn't even get a vote.
23:45
Speaker 2: Voting closed.
23:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I wasn't even asked.
23:49
Speaker 2: Roman Anthony had the deciding.
23:50
Speaker 3: I mean, I have an ID Scott on my I'm sorry,
23:54
Speaker 3: that's all everyone's talking about. So I had sorry, let.
23:59
Speaker 2: Me see it.
23:59
Speaker 3: I don't have it on me.
24:00
Speaker 2: That's why you didn't get a boat.
24:01
Speaker 3: Oh that's a good point.
24:03
Speaker 2: What's wrong with Roman Anthony?
24:04
Speaker 3: Three? No, no, no, that's no, it's great. But he
24:07
Speaker 3: got thrown out of the dish, like Bobby Witt made
24:09
Speaker 3: two incredible plays, had a couple of hits.
24:11
Speaker 1: You take out his homer and then what about Judge
24:14
Speaker 1: a homer that was temporarily Mexico scored three, So you
24:20
Speaker 1: think it should have been Skeens.
24:21
Speaker 3: I mean Skeens to go four innings, no runs.
24:24
Speaker 2: He was to it was four innings. Okay, I'm just
24:28
Speaker 2: saying it's tough for listen.
24:30
Speaker 3: I love Roman Anthony, so I'm happy.
24:32
Speaker 1: But okay, let me just do a quick pull in
24:36
Speaker 1: the chat what everyone else thought. It's Bobby Witting. It's
24:39
Speaker 1: not close from Rev. Thirty six. Yeah, he made some
24:45
Speaker 1: sick plays.
24:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't listen Roman. I'm fine with Roman Anthony.
24:51
Speaker 3: But I had a couple of hits. Actually had a
24:54
Speaker 3: two walk that was a nicer bat.
24:56
Speaker 2: He's the young guy you know they bring like a
24:59
Speaker 2: Star of Tomorrow.
25:00
Speaker 3: He's the Christian Laighter.
25:01
Speaker 2: He's the Christian Laightner for.
25:03
Speaker 3: Except he gets if he gets to play.
25:05
Speaker 2: Except he gets to play.
25:06
Speaker 1: He's the Bobby Witt from last time, except he gets
25:09
Speaker 1: to play.
25:10
Speaker 2: Bobby Witt didn't really play last time.
25:12
Speaker 3: He pinched.
25:13
Speaker 1: I know he didn't know whatever he's playing now, there
25:18
Speaker 1: he is. He's nasty. That's his MLB Rivals card. By
25:20
Speaker 1: the way, World Baseball Classic Style. He almost homered his
25:28
Speaker 1: first A, B.
25:29
Speaker 3: And second of that. We hit the one second of
25:31
Speaker 3: that to the fence.
25:31
Speaker 2: And oh that was his second half. Be okay, I
25:37
Speaker 2: think we got.
25:40
Speaker 1: Mexico manager Benji Gill on his ultimate wish of playing
25:44
Speaker 1: USA again in the championship game, believing it would be
25:46
Speaker 1: a different outcome next time. I want to face them
25:48
Speaker 1: more than anything else in the world. Did you hear
25:49
Speaker 1: his in game interview on this.
25:51
Speaker 2: It was great.
25:52
Speaker 1: He was like, this is big, it's important, but I mean,
25:56
Speaker 1: we're trying to get to the quarters.
25:58
Speaker 2: It was almost like I've got a mission to do.
26:03
Speaker 1: I would love to win this game, but if we don't,
26:05
Speaker 1: we still have a pathway beat Italy. So they're doing
26:09
Speaker 1: what they should do. Anyway, shout out to MLB Rivals.
