ATX_sig Posted March 2, 2023 Report Share Posted March 2, 2023 Starts next week. I think the US won the last title and for me it was really fun to watch. Does anyone else like to watch it. The drawback is it is during the NCAA tourney but the games have intensity to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinitely more enjoyable to watch than similar basketball events (like the Olympics). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATX_sig Posted March 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 Found it interesting that Ken Griffey Jr is the hitting coach for USA. Maybe that was case before but wonder if he wants to get into coaching. I don't expect there is a bunch of coaching going on though other than managing playing time to keep the MLB clubs happy and pushing buttons during the game by the manager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rico Posted March 9, 2023 Report Share Posted March 9, 2023 Italy's flag consists of green, white, and red. But yet they are wearing blue? Is that Piazza's doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he have influence over their soccer team too. They always wear blue. I watched a bit of the Cuba/Ned game and an inning of the Koreaa/Aussie game. It will get better once DR. PR and US start. I'll have to load up the tubi app. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATX_sig Posted March 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 Ugh! The Mexico game showed the pitching staff is a problem for US. Hope that vaunted offense starts putting up 15 per game. A mercy win tonight vs Canada would be fun. Japan rocks and ican Venezuela be a sleeper? All 5 in cuba goes 2-2. I guess Cuba wins the pool by run differential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 100% a must win tonight. If Canada should win, it's possible (even likely) that both Mexico and Canada finish ahead of the US. Even if the US tied one of them at 2-2, the US would likely lose the tiebreakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATX_sig Posted March 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 This tournament sure produces entertainment. US/Mexico matchup would be awesome but have a feeling Japan is going to roll thru to the title. Just don't know if they had the competition that was on US side of bracket. DR, PR, Ven., Mexico and US are all impressive teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
