It started yup, the World Baseball Classic. Where players from all over the world are going to represent their country and try to win the championship. On a quick update USA has been playing very well. So has Puerto Rico. They are both undefeated and have been winning in style. USA won their first pool game against Canada 6-5. Then won their second game against Venezuela 15-6. Their have been plenty of upsets. Like the cinderella team the Netherlands who defeated the heavily favored Dominican Republic. Dominican Republic were one of the top favors to win the World Baseball Classic with their power talented lineup. But were eliminated in the first round by losing to the same team twice, the Netherlands. Then the Netherlands who previously lost to Puerto Rico lost again to them in the championship by a score of 5-0. And now Puerto Rico were the Pool D champions and the Netherlands are the runner and since they have both earned these spots. They both will go to Miami to play in the second round. In Pool C Venezuela were crowned champions and USA is the runner up and those two teams will also be heading to Miami to face Puerto Rico and Netherlands. The first matchup will be USA against Puerto Rico. The other is Venezuela against the Netherlands. My picks is that USA will defeat Puerto Rico and Venezuela will defeat Netherlands. In Pool A Korea and Japan were the top 2. With Korea being crowned Pool A champions and Japan the runner up and these two teams will be heading to the second round in San Diego. Pool B is still being decided but Cuba is most likely going to be crowned Pool B champions.

That's good to see U.S.A. winning because it's our past time. We should be the king haha. I never really liked baseball and that one time in 9th grade when we played was fun till I got a bat to my toe and cracked it in half. It was bad. I never gave it a chance, but to watch it may e kind of boring. I heard talks about it like a lot of the world isn't into it. It would be way more fun and competitive if more of the world got into it and it would be better to watch for those who want to see it don't you think?
ReplyDeleteCuba is going all the way like last time except this time we are going to win the whole thing. I can't believe the Dominican Republic is already eliminated. I think they were to confident.
