Team USA: “Yeah, I know like three of these guys’ names.”

Classy team. Glad they won.
No bullshit, just baseball

I don’t want to see any Geno slander, especially from Reds fans.

That’s why Venezuela and some of the other teams were soooo fun to watch. You could tell they were actually having a good time and truly pulling for each other on another level. The vibes were great and felt real.
The US just seemed like a bunch of all stars thrown together without much management. You never really saw genuine moments of joy like from Venezuela, DR, Italy, etc.

Geno is the best, I’m so happy he gets this moment.

I don’t think we will see anything close to this energy when the players of most of these teams are 60-70 going into the final month of the year

I am so glad they won. Everyone expected the US to win in 2023, but JP won. WBC and Ohtani skyrocketed baseball’s popularity, as shown with the 250% increase in viewership for this year WBC across the board.
Everyone expected the US to win in 2026, but VE won. Will WBC’s popularity increase again? Yup. After what Italy and VE did, kids around the world can dream of beating US bests.

So happy for Geno, and bringing that energy back to the Reds this year!

Makes sense, most of (if not all of) these guys were born in Venezuela and had to immigrate to the US for their dreams
Like any immigrant, they’re in a new country and a new culture, learning an unfamiliar language, just grinding in the minors just to get by. Just having other people who have gone through the same experiences as you from the same homeland to rely on must have been a lifesaver.
Unlike teams predominantly born in the US, these guys have relied on and helped each other all throughout their baseball careers. Makes sense they feel like family, and it makes sense that they have so much joy playing with each other, and must feel so awesome winning a tournament like the WBC with their guys
