I'm still buzzing over this tournament. I still can't comprehend how it came down to Ohtani vs Trout for the last out. And Ohtani going to the bullpen then running back out to leg out an infield single then going back to the bullpen and come out to throwing triple digit fastballs and a perfect slider to strikeout Trout? Incredible mental and physical resiliency. Gerrit Cole would've had a panic attack. Never mind that he can't hit or run.
[QUOTE=TheMan;14747132]Congrats to Japan but can't shake off that bad feeling that MX could've won this tournament:([/QUOTE]
It's March Madness level randomness. Any of the good teams could've won and Mexico was certainly one of them.

I've beat off to the video of that sequence 3 times now. Shit makes me horny.
WBC is gonna be huge in 30 years and people will look back at this WBC as the one that fully legitimized and spearheaded its prestige.
Kind of the perfect ending because USA will have a revenge attitude going into the next one driving actual elite pitchers to perform. I understand teams being cautious with their star pitchers but they need to get the **** over it and think about the big picture. The tournament helps the sports popularity immensely and the workload for them is similar to spring training anyways.
The WBC this year was one of the funnest sporting events I've witnessed in years. You get a bit of the world cup atmosphere but with an actual sport played by men and not fakkits kicking a ball. Just amazing.
Happy Opening Day boys! :cheers:
