The WBC is contrived nonsense. Can't believe people pay any attention to it.

Apparently Julio disagrees.

Yeah, I can see that in terms of where someone is from. As a guy from a poor country the size of Manhattan, winning the WBC could be very important

I get it but he must have went to the Jerry DiPoto school of PR. Sure, say the quiet part out loud.

Imagine if Judge had answered the question the same way....lol

Japan knocked out by Venezuela! Single-elimination baseball is wacky. I bet in a 7 game series, Japan wins in 5.

After USA beats DR tomorrow* it's shaping up to be USA vs Italian-USA for the championship, which will be a pretty dramatic finale.

*When Julio comes to bat, I predict Cal will refuse a fist-bump, then spring to his feet and give Julio a hug. It's all been leading up to this comical moment.
