I still remember it from Shark Tank years ago

Anyone else really like the Israel hats?

DR's lineup is ridiculous. Of course ours would be too if the best American players didn't sit out or play for other countries.

God bless you all for not using the word Team in front of the names of the countries.

Any idea what the starting line up is today?
Think we will see Bregman out there?

Is the only way to watch this thing with MLB Network?

I think him and Crawford are pretty close at SS. I would guess that Crawford gets the nod based on experience.

This is an excellent game. We shouldn't be tied w/ a team full of minor leaguers like Columbia but it's baseball.

Vamos Puerto Rico!

It's amazing to me that baseball fans in the US don't go crazy for the WBC. Yesterdays walkoff win for the US was like a Game 7 in october. Great atmosphere, great game.

And today's US v DR game might as well be a NL v AL all-star game, talent wise. Except the players care way more than if it were an all star game.

I love the WBC!

I'm love it too. The atmosphere tonight vs DR will be electric!

Can someone explain to me why Italy's uniforms are Blue and White?

"Their flag is green, white and red. So why do Italy play in blue?" ponders Karl Magee.

We've answered this before, but here it is again in all it's simple glory: blue is the colour of Savoia, which as you probably know, was the ruling house of Italy from 1861 until 1946. Until then, the country's flag always had the Savoy coat of arms on it. It is only since the Italian Republic was established post-war that the tricolor has been the national flag. So now you know.

The more you know

USA is playing well

5-0 over Dominican in the 6th

Machado just killed that pitch.

Damn. Dominican making a little something happen here.

Roark is shaky. Not sure why we are so committed to sending him back out there.

Roark was not good.

It sounds like we're playing an away game on US soil. Reminds me of when USMNT plays Mexico in SoCal.

Nelson Cruz with a 3 run bomb barely inside the LF foul pole

6-5 DR leads B8

**** me.

Aggies choke away leads last weekend. Team USA choking this weekend.

Marte oppo bomb

7-5 DR

Son of a *****

I bet Trump is pissed

This DR lineup is just so salty.

The baseball talent from just that little island is insane.
