I thought Cal was supposed to play today
Why. Can't believe he didn't PH for Smith there.
Bil said they were alternating starts, thought he predicted this world be a Cal start
:lol: So it is little league where each young boy get to play every other day?

It was Milikin
They've been splitting catcher 50/50 the whole way. Cal, then Will Smith, then Cal again. .
Cal is 0-9, but has had a few walks and scored a run in the win against Canada.
He'll start in the championship

That first Wilyer Abreu bomb the other day was one of the best swings I've ever seen.

Problem here is the USA don’t give a shit about the WBC so neither do the fans and don’t appreciate what it means to a “small country” ( or a country that is not called America) to aim for a major title.
Maybe this tournament might start to change the perception of the WBC in the US? There is something unique about these kinds of competition that capture the imagination of the teams.

But I bet 1 Bolivar that your countrymen will dismiss it as a meaningless “Mickey Mouse” Cup because you haven’t won it.
