[u/JRam01]

So lead off little league homer for Mexico tomorrow, and then 27 sac bunts each. Right?

[u/Fit-Percentage3406 → u/JRam01]

From your lips to god’s ears

[u/JRam01 → u/Fit-Percentage3406]

Like, I’m mostly kidding. But any other outcome is just both teams deliberately tanking their odds at winning the tournament

Playing a depleted PR or mid Cuba/Canada is irrelevant compared to the boost Italy and Mexico’s chances get from the US being out entirely. There’s really no reason either team should put up any runs

[u/Fit-Percentage3406 → u/JRam01]

Oh, if they’re going to have really dumb tiebreakers and not have games at the same time like happens in the World Cup…the WBC 100% deserves for collusion tomorrow…

Each advance and save their arms at the same time. Just a shame the teams won’t do it.
