this is just embarrassing like I’m embarrassed. what a pathetic choice. somehow team USA keeps continuing to spiral worse and worse.

USA needs Italy to win or Mexico to score 5, simple as that

A group of Americans got in above their head in a foreign entanglement because of incompetent leadership you say?

Even I’ll admit Jomboy can sometimes be very intentionally inflammatory, but I’m with him on this take.
WTF was the USA coaching staff thinking/doing?

If anyone says that team USA doesn’t actually care and it’s just extra spring training to them… Why even show up?
They coulda rejected the invite if they truly didn’t care. And the whole « i don’t actually care » angle is kinda cheesy when you are literally paid to compete at the highest level
WhatsGoodWithThat
Its crazy that all of us nerds on here knew they didnt clinch vs Mexico but not 1 person in that clubhouse did?

When it comes down to it, Team USA is just full of themselves. The players and managing decisions have shown that throughout the tournament. Skenes talking about how USA needs to assert dominance because we are America. Harper’s stare down. Cal’s refusal to shake hands. It’s all this toxic mentality of USA in wbc. Someone put that wbc is more of a collaboration between other countries than it is a competition. Which is very true. Other countries show more respect and have more fun, demonstrating what is the love of the game. USA on the other hand continues to show what I hate about baseball. Cockiness. Disrespect. Laziness. Entitlement. Immaturity

When they get eliminated it will be called an « exhibition » by the team and supporters, and was never fully taken seriously.

Every other team is showing so much passion and having so much fun while the US is treating this like glorified spring training. Shit is pathetic and insulting to the tournament TBH. You have Cy Young winning pitcher leaving after one game. You got Cal acting like an asshole. The manager did not even know what the rules of the tournament. What a shit show.

I think this was the perfect team and performance to represent the USA right now

Mark DeRosa has been inexcusably bad. If they were serious, they would have kicked him off the team by now

I need them to get eliminated in the funniest way possible

Yeah i didn’t wanna say it in the live thread last night but warming Kershaw up there was ridiculous. Besides the fact that he’s not what he used to be, he’s never exactly been the guy to call on in high leverage situations

American baseball players aren’t hungry.
