Who's starting pitcher on Tuesday?


Probably Nolan McLean. They tried to get Joe Ryan but weren't able to.

Bullpen should be in good shape as well.

Would be nice to have Tarik Skubal on the mound, right?

But he got his own training regimen to keep. Thanks for the three innings he pitched against Great Britain, though. Not sure we would've won if we had someone else on the mound against that juggernaut.

In all fairness before the days of the on screen spotting, that was a strike all day. The movement on that pitch was late and filthy



So yeah it was out of the zone but the ump has to adjust to seeing 102 gas then seeing that nasty pitch. And he's also got to make the call with conviction. With the game on the line he can't sit on it and make a late call either way.

He saw what he saw and made his call.

Kinda sucks but that's baseball.

I knew we struck out alot last night, just checked and it was 15 times! Wow. And only 1 BB.

Our hitting in this WBC has definitely been subpar.

Chance for Italy to bust it open early

Italy is basically USA Team B. Venezuela is completely 100% native born at least.

It was a great pitch. I also think it was in the zone when it crossed the plate. I don't care where the catcher gloved it.

It certainly didn't miss by a mile like some people are saying.

People treating that tv strike zone box as the be all end all gospel truth haven't watched much baseball.

Love seeing Altuve there. Hate that insurance wouldn't cover him but I get it after last time.

He made it to the big leagues in less than half a season. He wasn't great when he got up there but that's a very impressive feat. He also has a 1.200 OPS in this tournament. I'd be surprised if he doesn't became a very good pro.

I have actually, but I didn't realize it was a Venezuelan hotbed. Cuban, PR, and other Hispanics yes. But Venezuela?

The last 10-15 years of the Venezuelan economic crisis has led to a massive immigration shift. Houston and Miami are by far the biggest hubs of VZ's in the USA. I'd bet Orlando is 3rd. I'm biased because I married one, but I have to say they're mostly all great people who work their ass off and love the opportunity the United States has offered them.

WBSC, MLB and MLBPA are genius for putting this tournament together.

This is the 6th World Baseball Classic: 2006, 2009, 2013, 2017, 2023, and 2026. Hopefully, the US team wins it for the 2nd time and 1st time since 2017.

I am really enjoying it. Players seem to take great pride in representing their country. The Venezuelans don't hate their country even though they might not like the politics. Unlike the liberals and democrats in America.

Caglione really hasnt done much since being the SECs top dog.

He has a .924 OPS in the minors and made it to the big leagues extremely quickly.

Charlie Condon - .757 OPS
Hagen Smith - 3.56 ERA
Braden Montgomery - .804 OPS
Jurrangelo Cijntje - 3.99 ERA
Ben Hess - 3.22 ERA
Ryan Waldschmidt - .886 OPS
Blake Burke - .824 OPS

All in the same draft class (1st round), all in the SEC, all haven't made it to AAA yet.
