Team USA loves Os CFers.

Cedric for USA, Santander for Venezuela and Kremer for Israel are the only ones on the final rosters 

 

Looking at the final rosters, Orioles, Rangers and maybe Yankees seem least impacted by WBC.

The WBC, much like every other level of baseball below MLB, highlights how hard it is to find relievers who can throw strikes

Duque Hebbert is 21 years old and has never played affiliated professional baseball. Last night, pitching for Nicaragua, he struck out three MLB all-stars. As he was leaving the ballpark, he was stopped by a scout from the Detroit Tigers — who signed him on the spot.

Anthony Santander breakout happening in front of our eyes.

Anthony Santander breakout happening in front of our eyes.

We've seen glimpses before. I think 2022 is peak Santander.

Looks like USA advances with a win over Columbia. Would be 3-1, and one of Mexico and Canada will be 3-1. A loss, and they need Mexico to beat Canada because the winner of that game, if USA loses, would win the pool at 3-1.

 

In a 3 way tie between, USA, Mexico, and Columbia, USA would be out, by way of having lost to both of them.

 

In a 3 way tie between, USA, Canada, and Columbia, the three teams would be 1-1 against each other. USA could advance as long as the score isn't lopsided in the Columbia game. Looks like runs allowed between the three teams is the next tie breaker. Canada allowed 12 runs in two games, Columbia 5 with the US to go. US 1 with Columbia to go.
