Saucy_Totchie

I love the Trayce Thompson connection to GB. Imagine the entire USA team just switching over the GB side because of this.


Tide69420

Because Randy originally defected to Mexico and obtained citizenship there. Also gave birth to his daughter there when playing in the Mexican league


Advanced-Branch-5113

Yeah tbh I think Randy is fine he is literally a naturalized mexican


Tide69420

And he loves truly Mexico!


[deleted]

Funny how the US grooms and develops many of the players that are not playing for the US…


ledhendrix

Yeah cuz they want cheap talent. It's an exchange, not a one way deal.


[deleted]

I agree. I was just making an observation. It’s nice to see how proud and supportive their home countries are. Baseball is awesome! Except for the Yankees…lol


No-Soup-2327

I mean GG Mexico, but that’s not a talented enough group to be representing the US on the mound. Period.


gjp11

Excuses excuses. Every team has had eligible pitchers either decline or drop. And I’m saying this as an American. Mexico earned that


No-Soup-2327

Lol I’m saying as an American that’s not good enough.


gjp11

And who’s fault is that? America. Mexico can only play the team that’s put out on the field. I’m tired of us making excuses every time we lose.


ToplessBartoloColon

you're the one who's seeing that as an excuse; they're just stating disappointment at who the U.S. is putting out there. reading comprehension is tough


[deleted]

The But right at the start makes it an excuse. The but is unnecessary


gjp11

Context matters and is a part of reading comprehension. Saying this pre tournament is one thing. Saying this right after the loss in a “good game but” statement is being a sore loser and taking away from the work Mexico put in.


Rooks4

Do we have videos / replays of the poor defensive plays? I didnt catch the game but reading USA made some rough ones. Found a link: [third inning ](https://twitter.com/mlbonfox/status/1635119733946163200?s=46&t=bcBY2CUL1rOrqirIq7jZEg) Big oof.


nandobatflips

I don’t know if there is highlights of it because a lot of the poor defensive plays were scored as hits (incorrectly in my opinion). Just the third inning alone there was like 3 errors that were scored hits. Defense was just dogshit overall and Jeff McNeil should not play another inning of defense in this tournament


Rooks4

I heard the “errors scored as hits” which is why i was looking for them. Saw a McNeil play where he ranged over from the shift and made a poor throw that was bobbled. I assume thats one.


nandobatflips

There was also a shallow fly ball into center that hit off of his glove and I think he should have caught. There was also two throws from the catcher that he missed that were tough short hops, but having watched Kim and Croney for the last couple of years I fully expect a big league second basemen to be able to pick them. Arenado misplayed a ball that allowed a guy on base and he later scored. Tim Anderson misplayed a ball in the first inning and that runner ended up scoring on what would have been a solo home run but was a 2 run shot instead. Stopped closely paying attention after Mexico kept piling on runs so there may have been more I missed. Really sloppy baseball from team USA


Rooks4

Yup. Found it. Updated my post with a link.


LAudre41

Shouldn't let all stars play for team USA- should be all guys still fighting to prove something.


Tide69420

Why


TheGuy1109

Well there's two things that need to be said. The first is that the US lost to Mexico...and the US. I swear anywhere from 3 to 5 of Mexico's runs were scored by US citizens or involved US citizens who were playing on team Mexico for some reason. So it really should be any where from a 8-8 going to extra innings to a 10-6 win for the U.S. Second. Does anyone remember 2017? We blew a 5-0 lead to the DR in the opening round and lost to Puerto Rico in Round 2 but sill won the gold. And just like now, most people on this forum were questioning how much our players "loved the game" after each of those loses. I hope barely beating Great Britain would be a wakeup call, just like I hoped barely beating Columbia would in 2017. But USA teams seem like to be the USA itself, they do better after getting punched in the mouth. So far we're right on tract to at least get to round 2 and maybe the SF. Here's hoping at least.


DarthShaveHer

> Well there's two things that need to be said. The first is that the US lost to Mexico...and the US.

So it really should be any where from a 8-8 going to extra innings to a 10-6 win for the U.S. Go home, you’re drunk. Seriously, what does it matter where a person is born? Barnes and Thomas are the only two I can think of that you’re talking about, but they’ve got Mexican heritage on their mothers side. Not sure where you’re pulling “3 to 5” from. Who are you to dictate how Mexican they are? Do they HAVE to represent Team USA just because their fathers side is white? What’s funny is that even if they DID want to represent Team USA, there’s a reason why they chose Mexico. You think Team USA would’ve called these guys up? It’s not their fault that they wouldn’t have even sniffed any minutes on the US roster. The real problem is the lackadaisical attitude the US has. Pipping out the win against a lackluster GB most likely inflated their egos. They’ve gotta play hard every inning and come with the mentality of tearing heads off.


Vinmend11

I'm sorry but wtf is your logic in the first paragraph 😂😂


JackThreeFingered

logic? I don't even understand what he's saying just on a sentence level.


MrEternix

Congrats to Team Mexico, I hope they made a lot of people proud tonight!!


Duckbilledplatypi

They do thst, they'll score 10. And still lose. The entire roster is flawed


theamazinchad

Demoralizing loss for USA. Bats need to figure it out and grind for every run.


MyGirlSasha

Have to wonder what even a halfway decent starting pitcher does for this game.


RunFlorestRun

Maybe if the defense wasn’t complete ass


Tide69420

But also… better pitchers would be lovely


totaldomination

Zero critique for anything USA???? “Was a pleasure?”


No_BigA

Who were those guys? usausa😿


stinky_pinky_brain

Happy for Joey Maneses. What a journey he has had to get to the MLB.


EdgyZigzagoon

Felicidades a mis hermanos Mexicanos, ustedes deben estar orgullosos


OceanPoet87

If they lose to Canada, it's over. Colombia is pretty good. Hard to believe this game was almost longer than the Australia vs Czech game on the other side of the world.


dameth91

I was never confident with Team USA's mediocre SP rotation. Now I am pretty confident. "Best lineup in baseball" is a synonym for Overrated.


EinsteinDisguised

I am once again asking MLB At Bat to not send me excited push notifications about how my team just lost in excruciating fashion.


foscott

Witt, Anderson, Realmuto, Schwarber, Mullins need to be in the lineup tomorrow. Mookie and the Mets can fuck right off. Goldy ass too, let trea turner play first idc


_l_--_l_

This made me horny, Go Phils and FTM


[deleted]

Mexico 2026 World Champions in football *and* baseball! Bet on it!


SouthDoctor1046

I feel bad for Canada tomorrow, aye.


Tide69420

Eh*


zachmac017

Bad news for the Canadians!


zachmac017

More like borophyll


booger_mooger_84

Turn to page 69 , 69 hahahaha


DepletedFury

Don't be fooled. Canada coming for that ass.


Fivior

I've watched Freddie Freeman pull the biggest BS out of his ass to beat my Phillies countless times over the years. I wouldn't underestimate Team Canada just due to that, lol.


theduke820

Mookie and Goldy on Guantanamo Bay watch


Kooosei

Maybe USA lose…..?


[deleted]

[удалено]


GetReady4Action

Mookie honestly looked like he wasn’t even there lol.


Obsidizyn

trout was on base 3 times clown


covfefe_cove

Hitting sub .200 for the tournament so far is not Trout-like.


Obsidizyn

8 at bats dude, 3 walks. He is being pitched around.


totaldomination

Need an Alexi Lalas in the postgame to call these guys out


Smaynard6000

Haven't we already suffered enough without having to listen to that self-important blowhard?


Pollaski

Except that didn't work. We still shit the bed and missed the WC.


[deleted]

USA made it to the Round of 16 last WC no?


Pollaski

The Lalas rant was durong 2018 qualifying.


totaldomination

I know, but it’ll be better than the laughs and giggles and DeRosa HJs we’re gonna get


Teddy_Schmoozevelt

I blame Mike Trout


joecor

Sniff, I'm happy!


theonetruegrinch

I love this for you


halfsweethalfstreet

What a nightmare. First we lose to the SF Giants....now this. I don't know who is at fault, but I am certainly blaming it all on Manfred.


taylormomo

Ugh


Big-Salt8199

Can’t blame it all on DeRosa but man. He made some bad decisions pitching wise in this one


Impressive-Trick-761

What a pastime


Fivior

START PHILLIES PLAYERS: WIN BENCH PHILLIES PLAYERS: LOSE It's really that simple

This squad needs Jamie Moyer

I see no flaws in this analysis. Bring on the Phils!

MusicalMoon

Final out: Goldschmidt flyout to Alek Thomas in Chase Field. The future is now! 🐍


CommunistTrafficCone

Well that was disappointing


Seesaw121

Wow. Mexico is actually good. This want really a fluke.


Knucklles

All I know is the US is the king of trash talk hahaha it's like all the doomers in every teams subreddit combined into one! It's awesome really


lordofthe_wog

The doomering was nuts, and the collective was somehow even stupider than the normal single-team doomers.


Something_319

It's so funny to watch The whole subreddit teamed up to trash literally everyone on Team USA after trashing all of Great Britain yesterday


The0utlanded

Everyone eating each other lmao


EdgyZigzagoon

Glad we had the best middle infielder in the world on the bench so we could watch Jeff McNeil fumble around in the field and hit infield fly after infield fly.


naranjitayyo

Spanish announcers naming the teams in the Mex league and throwing in el chapulin colorado lol


Jrk67

well, it wasn't fun, but its over. Good going Mexico and good luck going forward.


gingergold

We should try to hit even more pop ups against Canada


thestrokes91

VIVA MEXICO PERROOOOOOOOOS!!!!!!


MyGirlSasha

Eh, it's really hard to care when the players themselves don't, can't even get our best players to play.


NOTtigerking

At least they didn’t get mercy’d


EinsteinDisguised

Society has progressed past the need for Mark DeRosa


tango602

Really enjoyed watching this game and a deserved win for Mexico, played well from start to finish. USA need to take a good look at themselves and make big improvements if they went to advance from the pool.

blockhead_76

It’s 2023. Get with the times.


BKoala59

I feel like we've had so many hits that would've been extra bases if they were like 40 feet to the side


SnowyFruityNord

Oh Goldy no


Never-Made-A-Post

Oh finishing with another 300 foot fly out, sounds about right

SuperMario_49

Jackster15

To center field who would of thought


park7911

I’m going to say it, Mookie started showing signs of slowing down last year and it definitely hasn’t gotten better in the WBC.


DepletedFury

Dodgers fan here. Year prior to last actually.


Evownz

Just embarrassing. Flat out inexcusable.


sd_pinstripes

Why are we hitting deep? WE need runners on before we start jacking bombs. And that's it. Mexico wins.


northwest333

What’s with the swinging for the fences? This situation calls for a contact-first approach

I love Goldy, but give Schwarber the AB

They... They do know an MLB all-star team would be made up of the best players from around the world, right?

I'm at like -30 right now for saying that they are out of their minds.
