The US looks like the Braves from 9 out of 10 angles, lol

fantastic theater.    I supposed I would rather see a revenge game scenario, but it will be no less interesting to me.

Not 1 mention of the WBC on ESPN.com.  That's just unethical, isn't it?  I know, I know...$$$.  But still.  WTF?
I believe every prior WBC was carried by ESPN, and they barely mentioned it. Now that they don't carry it, they don't mention it at all, and it's been by far the best version of it. We have always had a baseball threat on this board, I can almost guarantee we have never previously discussed the WBC

Watching Trout come through in a pseudo postseason environment, just makes me more mad that the Angels have robbed us of getting to see this in the postseason by wasting his career
The pregame show is just throwing darts at the angels, mentioning how nice it is to see Trout and Ohtani in a high stakes game

Trea Turner got paid, but this WBC power surge, probably would have earned him more money

I mean I get it with pitchers, but Japan has Ohtani and Darvish, and apparently the best the US could drum up is a AAAA pitcher for the Diamondbacks

Love hearing some fan blowing away on some brass horn in the stands.

The move is to show clips of Pearl Harbor on the scoreboard between innings

The bomb siren after the Japan HR was a headscratcher, even my 14yr old questioned it, though for different reasons .
