I mean, yes, probably they miss plenty of super stars etc.. but I am surprised by this result. I was living in a bubble that in Yuesey everyone plays and thus they are almost invincible in this sport even if they field a "reserve of reserves" team or even if they simply put on the pitch any Junior team I guess I was extremely wrong or maybe the best available players now, just represent other countries ? Yes, USA is definitely a baseball powerhouse but this isn't like basketball where they always beat the other teams. Dominican Republic and Japan's teams are on a similar level to them. Mexico is still a pretty good team themselves too. A similar comparison to this game would be Czech Republic beating Canada in men's ice hockey. USA honestly hasn't looked too great this tournament so far. They had a closer game against GB than most people expected and they got blown out by Mexico here. They're missing a lot of their best pitchers this tournament and that cost them in this game. Mexico on the other hand, had a great outing from their starting pitcher and that really set the tone for them. While not likely, there's also a chance that Colombia or Canada could also beat them. hckošice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owenp_23 559 Posted March 13, 2023 #399 Share Posted March 13, 2023 (edited) leads by 6 in the seventh inning. Looks like will be eliminated and has a tough WBC Qualifiers group for the next edition. They have a surprising amount of Minor League prospects so I think they were here just a little too soon.

owenp_23 559 Posted March 13, 2023 #400 Share Posted March 13, 2023 (edited) Half hour away from an under-the-radar game in Pool C. can get to 2-0 and great positioning after the game. is playing for their tournament lives and could really stir the pot with an upset.
