 sucks at the WBC and we have some key names missing, no chance for us  

Actually, I think I would favoured Mexico over Venezuela now. Not necessarily because of the skill level between the two teams but I realized that because the way the bracket is set up, there's a good chance Venezuela will play Japan in the quarterfinal and that would be a challenge.

 

I would be shocked if Cuba qualifies. A lot of baseball experts have them finishing last in their pool.

I just realized we're here. 

Yeah, very happy to see that Brazil qualified! And most impressively, the roster is mostly home-grown players unlike a few other teams here.

 

Unfortunately, it will be hard for you guys to win a game but I will definitely be rooting for you guys to have success!

Very shaky outing from Dominican Republic ace Cristopher Sanchez and Nicaragua has the early lead 

 

We'll see how long it lasts.

Nicaragua and DR tied at 3 in the 6th. Really impressed with Nicaragua so far 

 

Elsewhere, Brazil only down 2-1 to the US. Of course Aaron Judge has a home run.
