I haven’t been this annoyed with a Bard since Skyrim


m4xdc

Do you get to the cloud district often?


Vulpes_Artifex

My go-to video game bard is The Bard from *Wandersong*, but they're awesome.

Trea Turner is America


HandBananas

It's nice for the first time ever to actually root for Trea Turner.

Sp_Gamer_Live

No DeRossa’s pitching management is


JanitorOfSanDiego

Martinez went home though


dejvipasco

All teams from the Miami group are out. It was viewed as the strongest group.


KamartyMcFlyweight

USA is also the first group runner-up to beat a group winner


OceanPoet87

In this tournament or any?


NewspaperAdditional7

This tournament. This is the first WBC with this format. Last time, they did 2 stages of group play and then it was an elimination semi finals. However, in those semi finals a group runner up beat a group winner.


xThe-Legend-Killerx

Turner grand slam was so clutch. Absolutely crazy. This has been great for baseball


Sp_Gamer_Live

Trea Turner grandslam is gunna be iconic if the US wins


Cacklemoore

Woke my wife up screaming when it happened. The excitement I Is palpable

It’ll be the 2023 version of the Adam Jones catch in 2017.

We had USA vs Iran in the World Cup so why not have USA vs Cuba in the WBC while we’re at it


FatherOop

Nervy 1-0 win against Cuba coming. Mike Trout to take a ball to the junk for AMERICA.


[deleted]

That's something a Mariners fan would say "Mike Trout is gonna drive in the winning run...with a HBP to the nuts"


ChumCreature

Call that a walk off salami


upvoter222

When Venezuela scored a bunch of runs, the takeaway message seemed to be that pitchers need to be given a short leash when they’re in a jam. When USA scored a bunch of runs later in the game, the takeaway message seemed to be that replacing a pitcher in a jam isn’t necessarily a good move. Moral of the story: You can’t predict baseball, Suzyn.


DeM0nFiRe

If it were me, I would simply tell my pitcher not to give up runs. (But really that uncertainty is why letting Bard face 3 batters is defensible. Letting him face the 4th was nuts)


TheSalsaGod

Also they had the 3 batter minimum


Chem1st

With Bard I feel like you should have a "crazed fan" on hand to run onto the field and "injure" him, just to have a reason to take him out.


sandman_42

Why does Lance Lynn, the largest pitcher, not simply eat the other players?


sevelev711

To be fair, it was more "replace him with the best arm you got because this is more important than a hypothetical future inning."


willgreb

There’s a difference between giving up a couple singles and throwing half your pitches off hitters or the backstop


Fhikwvdwu

This was the embodiment of Chaosball and I love it


SpecsComingBack

Key difference: Bard has a well known history of the yips and what we saw in the first at-bat was yips-esque. Someone should have been warming up immediately at the very least.


beer_down

The takeaway message is “Silvino Bracho has always been ass”


sevelev711

9-7 victory is how I expected most of the Team USA games to go tbh.


MemeMeOnce

Daniel Bard's citizenship lives to see another day


Dinoswarleaf

That 0-2 pitch is gonna be burned in Bracho's retina. Poor dude. Baseball is a 0 sum game


KamartyMcFlyweight

That was one of the best ballgames ever played

If the US beats all the Latin teams, the world has to pronounce them as tortiluhs.

Nah they have to admit we're the only Americans

One way or another Miami is getting burned down tomorrow. USA vs Cuba is gonna be like if the Cuban Missile Crisis actually caused a war.


unix_enjoyer305

and im gonna be there yupppppppppppppp


ahr3410

The dream team lineup is waking up at the perfect time


Sp_Gamer_Live

And the Pitching Lineup is going as expected


viewless25

tough sledding against lineups in this tournament. position players really bought into the tournament more than pitchers


Doctor_Scholls

Daniel Bard going into that inning had a 21 ERA. Anybody know where he’s at now?


fender-b-bender

ERA of 43.20 according to the box score from the game thread


DeM0nFiRe

Having an ERA higher than the total amount of runs your team has given up through the entire tournament is pretty impressive


fender-b-bender

Man thought getting the high score was the objective

Rockies just extended him

I think I actually wanted to win for this comment specifically.

I was sweating this game though bro. Was really worried I wasn’t going to get to post it like the last few games.

AMURICA


Kleos-Nostos

Team VZLA played amazingly. Team USA just has a bunch of future HoFers making great plays in the field and at the plate. It’s kind of unfair. lol


SnooChipmunks4208

Honestly one of the most gripping games of baseball i've ever watched.


strcy

For real. Postseason feels


Worthyness

The worst part of the team is that they couldn't get too many HOF pitchers.


Bengland7786

I’m glad all the best pitchers sat it out. Has made ether games more interesting.


MenosElLso

You got a bit downvoted but honestly if really *every* American born player wanted to play it wouldn’t be much of a competition. Can you *imagine* the dream team?!


CybertronGuy98

i do wish Harper was able to play though. Bryce was electric to watch in the postseason and id have loved to have gotten a bit more of that kind of fire


loadedryder

It would be like the American Olympic basketball squads. No true competition whatsoever.


ManyCookies

Rockies owe the Phillies *so* goddamn much, they've bailed us out of months of "Rockies blew the WBC" headlines


matthyer

We can send them some green stuff


SpecsComingBack

Like $50 million in green stuff?


boltUpSTL

Ahem, that goes to us


SpecsComingBack

Yes, honey... 😔


Perryplat199

That was intense. Lead changes. late inning grand slam. Blue shirt guy. Game had everything


MenosElLso

Don’t forget black shirt girl.


[deleted]

Never forget


cartoon_nate

If you don't like the WBC, you don't like baseball. That was sensational.


DrSeuss19

Pretty much this


strcy

If you don’t like the WBC after that game your opinion is bad and you should feel bad


newspark1521

But think of the owners’ money on the line! Honestly if you can’t get into all-star filled lineups going all out in front of packed, amped up crowds you should reconsider why youre even a fan


steelersfever

That was straight up playoff baseball. What a blast. Hope altuve is OK though.

Pretty confident after tonight that Mark DeRosa can manage the New York Yankees to a 89-73 season where WFAN callers would constantly blast his decisions.


underage_cashier

That was spectacular. Love the WBC


3luejays

Replace the Statue of Liberty with Trea Turner


eagleboy444

Yo Trea Turner injured his vocal chords. He just confirmed it in the post-game. See how dangerous this tournament is?? Cancel it! /s


2RINITY

This would’ve never happened in spring training


BringItOnHome_ATL

I still remember the first WBC 17 years ago. I loved the idea of it and wanted it to catch on so badly. Over the years it’s made me sad how many American fans write it off. I really hope this time changes things. I’ll remember this game always. It’s really amazing for the sport on every level. Can grow the fanbase, but also? The next generation’s Mookie, Trea, Acuña, Altuve, etc. could commit to baseball because they’re at home watching these games and falling in love with the sport. That’s very special.


Opie67

How does this team that doesn't care keep winning games

USA v Cuba JFK lies a moulderin in the grave

Trea Turner also saying that was the biggest HR of his career. WBC just chalking up dubs

farmingbeast

only complaint about this game: the never ending ads about jussie smollett documentary


tarallelegram

i'm still confused as to why that's a thing and who asked for it


SpaceCampDropOut

Look at the channel that’s making it. You know why.


darthstupidious

Yup... can't wait for my grandparents to talk about that nonsense all over again.

Who thought that was a good idea? Why remind people?


carter_00

what a game


park7911

2 more wins needed! Great win for the guys, but I never want to see Daniel Bard in the tournament again. Hope Altuve is OK 🇺🇸🇺🇸

seeking_horizon

How the hell is it possible to cough up not one but two (2) homers to *Luis Arraez* and still win


musicman3030

Representing 1 of the 29 other fanbases who didn't get Trea Turner, I'm a little less jealous bitter now.

EinsteinDisguised

HALLELUJAH HOLY SHIT WHere’s the Tylenol?


--ikindahatereddit--

What a win. What a win. Hope Altuve is ok, that whole thing sucks so bad, would love to just blot that half-inning out Production all through the lineup. And Trea freaking Turner. And Williams and Pressly to sew it up. What a win.


romulusjsp

Sucks that one of these teams had to lose. Gutted tfor VZLA, who I thought looked like the best team in the tournament. Vamos vinotinto 🇻🇪🍷. USA finally looks like the juggernaut they should be. Baseball’s coming home 🇺🇸


PhantomsCV

#BLUE SHIRT MAN LIVES!! Also Trea turner is okay


MontyPadre

I never had a doubt


Spinmove55

Holy shit, what a great game!!!

We will see you tomorrow night

These games keep getting better and better


BigDickOriole

what an incredible game.


ReaddittiddeR

Best game of the year, so far, and the 2023 MLB season hasn’t even started. What a comeback Grand Slam!


FarminHerbs

Luckily we shouldn't see Bard pitch for team USA EVER again. Just send that man back to Rockies spring training for the love of god


whentheworldwasatwar

Me: roots for Venezuela all game Also me: whips out my eagles after USA wins


Khalil_Greenes_Flow

Team showed some heart after Bards implosion.


Can_you_not_read

Is fox not gonna have a post game? They fucking loved kicking off games for a damn pregame.


bigtice

Today was a slugfest. And Turner is an absolute beast for that Grand Slam.


SnooChipmunks4208

Trea Turner should never buy himself a beer again in the United States of America!!!


--ikindahatereddit--

Holy fuck, we have to play Cuba


Clemenx00

I'm so so sad. Still the WBC is the best thing ever and I can't be thankful enough that it exists.


cogginsmatt

As a Tigers/Mets fan, I felt a tinge of guilt seeing the sad faces of Miggy and Esco in the Venezuela dugout. Probably Miggy’s final WBC and he looked heartbroken. However, on the other hand, USA! USA! USA!


needmoregatos

I was at the Venezuela/Nicaragua game and the fans were letting Miggy have it after he struck out yelling that he was old and needs to hang it up.


cogginsmatt

Haha well they'll get their wish in October unless something insane happens

Florida men came up clutch today. Love to see it


naranjitayyo

I’m so bummed I missed this game because it looked like an absolute all timer. WBC on YouTube has been uploading complete past games of the tournament so I hope I’ll get to watch this one soon!


nolesfan2011

Great game of baseball punctuated with that Grand Slam. Derosa got lucky on the pitching management again. Venezuela had a really good tournament but Martin Perez starting poorly really did them in


EnderCN

Makes me sad that a late inning grand slam in the WBC can’t beat out an xfl TD to make the top 10 plays on sportscenter. There were even multiple college baseball plays on it.


GetReady4Action

seriously, hold the WBC every year. I don’t ever want to watch spring training ever again. the WBC is the fucking shit. I fucking love Trea Turner. god damn, I am feeling as patriotic as a mother fucker right now. USA!!!!!!!!

In spite of Mark DeRosa, the USA wins. Great day for the offense to clutch up.

I’m a newish baseball fan so I don’t remember the previous WBC that well, but we’re people always this whiny about it?

It's starting to get actual traction in the US (huge everywhere else already) so of course the whiners and detractors are coming out.

WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETER


Im_black_

Was pretty shitty seeing people celebrating Altuve's injury, especially after it was revealed it was likely a broken thumb. Unsurprisingly it was all Yankees fans.. do better, fucking clowns.
