How in the world was Ryan Yarbrough out there for team USA? That might have made sense if the year is 2019.

Listening to DeRosa, he thought they had already clinched. That's not optimal

 

[nynasty]

If Mexico wins and scores exactly 5 runs, USA will advance based on Italy having fewer fielding outs recorded.

******* bonkers rules lol

The worst part is USA would have won if Brad Keller could make a Little League play

Yea, pitching wasnt too strong for this club.

Embarrassing……

That's in the Donovan McNabb overtime rules pantheon

 

[nynasty]

I honestly think he was told/realized they hadn't clinched anything when he had Kershaw warming and then abruptly got Miller up and brought him in.

So does Mexico get to 3 runs then just decide not hit anymore?

If Italy wins they're eliminated. Both teams would have to collude to eliminate USA (which would be funny af especially after DeRosa admitted he thought we were already through).

How do you not have skubal face Italy or Mexico?

 

[bksballer89]

We advance

Only way Mexico can win is by scoring 5 or more

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Technically we could still be knocked out if MEXICO wins in extra innings...

But ITALY is a a legit team of solid major league players and some actual major league stars

They might be a lot better than anyone thought.
