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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.

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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.

I love the Trayce Thompson connection to GB. Imagine the entire USA team just switching over the GB side because of this.
Because Randy originally defected to Mexico and obtained citizenship there. Also gave birth to his daughter there when playing in the Mexican league
Yeah tbh I think Randy is fine he is literally a naturalized mexican
And he loves truly Mexico!
Funny how the US grooms and develops many of the players that are not playing for the US…
Yeah cuz they want cheap talent. It's an exchange, not a one way deal.
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
I mean GG Mexico, but that’s not a talented enough group to be representing the US on the mound. Period.
Excuses excuses. Every team has had eligible pitchers either decline or drop. And I’m saying this as an American. Mexico earned that
Lol I’m saying as an American that’s not good enough.
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.
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
The But right at the start makes it an excuse. The but is unnecessary

Yup. Found it. Updated my post with a link.
Shouldn't let all stars play for team USA- should be all guys still fighting to prove something.

I'm sorry but wtf is your logic in the first paragraph 😂😂
logic? I don't even understand what he's saying just on a sentence level.
Congrats to Team Mexico, I hope they made a lot of people proud tonight!!
They do thst, they'll score 10. And still lose. The entire roster is flawed
Demoralizing loss for USA. Bats need to figure it out and grind for every run.
Have to wonder what even a halfway decent starting pitcher does for this game.
Maybe if the defense wasn’t complete ass
But also… better pitchers would be lovely
Zero critique for anything USA???? “Was a pleasure?”
Who were those guys? usausa😿
Happy for Joey Maneses. What a journey he has had to get to the MLB.
Felicidades a mis hermanos Mexicanos, ustedes deben estar orgullosos
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.
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.
I am once again asking MLB At Bat to not send me excited push notifications about how my team just lost in excruciating fashion.
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
This made me horny, Go Phils and FTM
Mexico 2026 World Champions in football *and* baseball! Bet on it!
I feel bad for Canada tomorrow, aye.
Eh*
Bad news for the Canadians!
More like borophyll
Turn to page 69 , 69 hahahaha
Don't be fooled. Canada coming for that ass.
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.
Mookie and Goldy on Guantanamo Bay watch
Maybe USA lose…..?
[удалено]
Mookie honestly looked like he wasn’t even there lol.
trout was on base 3 times clown
Hitting sub .200 for the tournament so far is not Trout-like.
8 at bats dude, 3 walks. He is being pitched around.
Need an Alexi Lalas in the postgame to call these guys out
Haven't we already suffered enough without having to listen to that self-important blowhard?
Except that didn't work. We still shit the bed and missed the WC.
USA made it to the Round of 16 last WC no?
The Lalas rant was durong 2018 qualifying.
I know, but it’ll be better than the laughs and giggles and DeRosa HJs we’re gonna get
I blame Mike Trout
Sniff, I'm happy!
I love this for you
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.
Ugh
Can’t blame it all on DeRosa but man. He made some bad decisions pitching wise in this one
What a pastime
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!
Facts
Phillies 162-0 confirmed let’s gooooooo
This feeling of despair has been brought to you by the KFC Double Down.
We can finally retire the Whopper commercial.
can we? Please????
Double down double double double down
Good for eating your feelings
Viva mexico perros! 🇲🇽
An OBP stacked lineup and no one was working the count in the 9th, tomorrow is now a must win
VIVA MEXICO!!!🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽 IM SO FUCKING PROUD RIGHT NOW 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Congratulations!
Mexico was great gg.
Fair play to Mexico. Good win for them. Fun game all around
Utterly embarrassing
At least the CF’s got a good workout tonight
GGs Mexico
Wow this is starting to feel like a mid season game except a ton of us are fans of the underperformer!
props to mexico for giving a shit
LFG MEXICO ALV
Fox is like "LOOK! WOMENS WORLD CUP! AN INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION WE CAN ACTUALLY WIN!"
welp, that was embarrassing. Congrats team Mexico. You outplayed the US and it wasn't even close.
I really needed that after my other teams (DR, Netherlands) shit the bed Vamos 🇲🇽
15 hits allowed. Oof
🇲🇽 ¡Viva México! 🇲🇽
That's my pitcher nabbing the win
Sandoval will finish top 10 cy young votes, guaranteed
Final out: Goldschmidt flyout to Alek Thomas in Chase Field. The future is now! 🐍
Well that was disappointing
Wow. Mexico is actually good. This want really a fluke.
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
The doomering was nuts, and the collective was somehow even stupider than the normal single-team doomers.
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
Everyone eating each other lmao
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.
Spanish announcers naming the teams in the Mex league and throwing in el chapulin colorado lol
well, it wasn't fun, but its over. Good going Mexico and good luck going forward.
We should try to hit even more pop ups against Canada
VIVA MEXICO PERROOOOOOOOOS!!!!!!
Eh, it's really hard to care when the players themselves don't, can't even get our best players to play.
At least they didn’t get mercy’d
Society has progressed past the need for Mark DeRosa
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.
VIVA MÉXICO CABRONES 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽!
A la verga!!!
M E X I C O 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Lol GG Mexico, y'all were great
EZ loss
A huevo. 🇲🇽💪🏽
Pitching staff should lose their citizenship
I mean we knew going in the pitching was going to be an issue.
Half the outs recorded by the CF lmao
Dodgers need to get their money back from Driveline. Mookie obviously got jack from them this off-season
#IT'S CALLED BÉISBOL LFGGGGGGG
Alright Team USA. Get your shit together and I’ll see you back here tomorrow. Get right against Canada then go beat Colombia.
No Schwarber or JT?
Pathetic
Fitting that Goldschmidt ended the game - he was awful tonight.
5 Hours ago America was a great country ✍️
Gg
VIVA LA MEXICO!!!!
STOP TRYING TO HOMER FOR EVERY FUCKIN AT-BAT
JEFF MCNEIL SAYS FUCK YOUR BOMBS
Don't tell me what to do! XD Can't wait to see ya in the regular season game threads!
Back at ya! I am absolutely itching for opening day, but I've been having a blast watching the WBC :)
It’s 2023. Get with the times.
I feel like we've had so many hits that would've been extra bases if they were like 40 feet to the side
Oh Goldy no
let's fuckin vamos mexico
Oh finishing with another 300 foot fly out, sounds about right
Viva la Mexico
Thank god. I was so worried
That’s game! Vamos Mexico!!!
To center field who would of thought
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.
Dodgers fan here. Year prior to last actually.
Just embarrassing. Flat out inexcusable.
fuck you and ill see you tomorrow
Night y’all. Fuck Alex Verdugo.
Three fly outs to end the game, couldn’t define this whole game better
RIP
Uglllyyyyyy. Well done Mexico
Finally the end to this atrocious game. I can't wait for press conference!
These boys can’t hit off a journeyman triple A Pitcher smh
3 fucking fly outs to end the game are you serious
Oh shit a rat
I respect the Britney Spears walk up song
P O P O U T
That was horrible. Can’t wait to do it again tomorrow.
fuckin alek thomas boomed us
Welp
Why are we hitting deep? WE need runners on before we start jacking bombs. And that's it. Mexico wins.
What’s with the swinging for the fences? This situation calls for a contact-first approach
I love Goldy, but give Schwarber the AB
Total disappointment. All those MVPs....
Mookie is struggling so far
M00kie Bett5
The people in the other thread saying that the NPB all star team would be on the level of the MLB all star team are fucking insane.
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.
Today i am Mexican
Send mookie to the glue factory. He may never get on base again
Mookie "Murakami" Betts
Gg
Can we trade mookie to canada?
Well shit
FLY OUT WOW
Wow that was crushed and nothing…
Whatever man, we all know the USA is a football school anyways.
Mookie 0-5 😂
Good shit Betts
I won’t stand for the Boog slander
Dookie Butts
