I finally saw the clip. I think what happened is that Cal was already set up behind the plate and thinking about the next pitch and how to get Randy out, and then Randy out of the blue puts his hand out and Cal just wasn't having it. Yes, they're teammates and presumably get along, but at that moment they're competing against each other.

I don't think it's anything more than that.
He litteraly said he is there to compete. I have no problem with that. Shit, watch and NBA game. These guys are basically making out with each other. OK, I really don't know, because I just said watch and NBA game, and I haven't done that if forever. But I know a lot of older players complain about the constant love fest that it's become now.

Cal didn't want to shake the hand of the opponent. Shit, Naylor doesn't even talk to his own brother when they play each other. I have a few former players that now coach in our League. I hug them before the game, then we go at each other. Then I hug them after I kick their ass! :lol: It's called competing. If Randy was serious, he's an idiot. And? He's an idiot anyway, because his reaction has made this a fucking story.

Been determined to find a translation
"How do you want me to respond to Cal Raleigh?" Arozarena said. "What do you want me to tell him?"

"I'd like to tell him in four languages, that's what I'd like," Arozarena continued. "First I'll tell him in Spanish, look. All he has to do is thank God he has such wonderful parents, yeah? That his parents are very well-mannered. I got to see them two days ago at the hotel, and they went to say hi, they gave me a hug. Said they were very proud of me and happy to see me again.

"The other thing I want to say to him, I'll tell it to him Cuban-style. What he needs to do is go f--- himself. Mexican-style: he can go f--- himself. And in English, I'm gonna say it to him in English. That 'good to see you' he gave me? He can shove it up his a--."

Team USA moves on if ...

Italy beats Mexico: Italy would win the pool at 4-0 and Team USA would finish second at 3-1 (ahead of Mexico's 2-2 mark).

If Mexico beats Italy and Mexico scores five or more runs in nine innings. All thee teams would finish 3-1, Mexico and Team USA would then advance on tiebreaker.

Team USA is eliminated if ...

Mexico beats Italy and scores four or fewer runs in nine innings. All three teams would finish 3-1, Mexico and Italy would then advance on tiebreaker

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