You give up a grand slam and then the next 2 batters are Betts and Trout.  Yeeesh.
.
And to his credit, he got them both out.  Incredible.

It has been way too long since the Tigers were good. I love high stakes baseball, but I really love high stakes baseball with a rooting interest

Yup.
Man, double the hits, +3 in errors and still a close game.  That's kinda crazy.

i've always enjoyed WBC, this is about the only time you could do it, all things considered.  It's pretty cool.

This is a badass final 4.  Despite the DR not being there, Japan is always legit, Mexico has been awesome, and I always view Cuba as a special baseball place.
This U.S. team is bonkers, tho.

Ken Rosenthal with the bow tie. 
People who wear a bow tie also:
put only ketchup on their hotdog
their favorite Avenger is Aqua man
refer to women as "milady"
genuinely thinks the waitress at Hooters likes him
etc.

I think Fox acquiring the broadcasting rights this time has made a big difference. ESPN seem to just bury it among a million other things, but Fox did a solid job of marketing. It without overselling it. And their coverage has been very good

The Athletic baseball show has a different host each day, and I believe he has one day. He knows what he is talking about, and is well connected, but it's so much easier to take him seriously in podcast form, when you don't have to watch him talk with a bow tie.

MLB seems to miss every time they go risky with alternate uniforms.  Cuba goes bold, and nails it.

But USA for the title on Tuesday either way
