@ImKevPevexactly, it should be an honor to represent your country. I guess there’s a reason why futbol is as big as it is. I feel like the MLB holds them back, instead should invest in the baseball classic and potentially can be just as big.
It's not necessarily the owners that are stopping players from playing, it's the insurance companies. If a player gets hurt then they have to pay for that player which could be hundreds of millions of dollars.
@Woobieeee it depends on the sport. Football, rugby, tennis, and baseball are just a few popular team sports that don’t have the Olympics as the most prestigious trophy
@KTF0 Only winning with a high percentage of Canadian players in the NHL, that's why buddy!! Canada always had better players in hockey and still does.... lol, Zip-those-lips & start using facts instead going by your first medal win since the 80s, plus Canada didn't use their NHL star players in Olympic hockey for many years. Your were lucky in that game especially when we outplayed the USA by a wide margin.
Billy even as a TEAM USA fan or whatever. Dude I agree Bo Naylor s swing with that bomb he hit was EXTREMELY SMOOTH. His swing reminds me of a hall of FAMER who had the most beautiful swing ever in MLB history and that's Ken Griffey jr. Team CANADA FANS should not be upset about last night but SHOULD BE SMILING because it's the furthest Canada has ever gone in the wbc. They are an excellent strong team and I would bring this team back in the 2029 WBC and if Freddy Freeman didn't have to pull out the last second but I understand because of a family issue that if he has played. I think this game would have been A WAY DIFFERENT GAME AND I THINK TEAM CANADA WOULD HAVE DEFINITELY WON
Not too shabby considering we only have access to baseball diamonds about 6 months out of the year, congrats to the boys for making it this far and making a game of it against a baseball power house and congrats to the US on the win
@floop_the_pigs2840it’s gaining popularity and this tournament is helping. Canada gave a pretty good showing and you could tell the USA fans got pretty worried in the 7th there. 😉
Some unfortunately terrible bad balls/strikes calls went against Soroko that lead to the Toro error and unearned run/three run inning. I know there were some bad calls later against the U.S., too. The Harper at bat springs to mind. Congratz to the U.S., but boy this one hurts. Caissie at the bat, eh!? Nice break out series for the ginger nipper.
And now baseball fans ... get ready !!! USA VS DR !!! We’re expecting a great game against the DR. Honestly. The USA doesn’t look like the overwhelming favorite everyone thinks it is, but they will definitely use the best pitcher in the world right now ... Paul Skenes ... and that could give them an edge. Even so ... personally I believe the title this year deserves to go to the DR. It would be a shame if a roster like that doesn’t end up lifting the trophy.
Canada fan here. Agreed. Josh and Tyler were not great the whole WBC and, sorry to say, choked in that spot. Too bad, could have been a lot different had they showed up.
It will be close. DR has to get through skenes first and i do not see it hapoening. Plus Skenes can actually pitch more like 80 pitches so its going to be tough for DR.
I’m a DeRosa fan..BUT his management of team USA in this tournament will be dissected by MLB and unfortunately won’t end well for him..what I don’t understand is how can he possible have Gunner Henderson on the bench. I understand about Bobby Witt is playing grreat but find a way to get Gunners bat in the line up
Before the WBC started I was really hyped about the US team. I was thinking they were the clear favorite. But to they look like 💩- DR is gonna murder them
It depends on how long Skenes pitches for. If they pull him in the 4th, they will be. If they let him pitch until the 7th, that's a different story. Not many batters can hit off him. He's the best pitcher in the world (him and Skubal)
He may probably be able to pitch in the next match against DR due to incompetency of the other closers, but Miller would probably end up blowing up his save by giving up a couple of home runs or even a grand slam before being pulled out.
Not to mention Nick Pivetta, Cade Smith and Jordan Romano would have been great to have pitching for us. Still I'm proud of what Team Canada accomplished though.
La MLB no sirve i el comisionado tampoco son unos tramposo y traicionero pero van a tener que bajarse lo pantalones ante nosotros los dominicanos que somos los mejores gracias adiós que está en lo cielo y está con nosotros
Just look at how Pittsburgh performed last year even with Skinnes, as simple as that. Look forward to seeing Vladdy the Canadian hit a grand slam from Skinnes next match.
@rickmckay3039 Half of them are currently in the majors, with a few with past major league experience. So, not exactly a minor league team. Not to mention that the ones actually playing in that game were mostly current major leaguers.
Haha we will see you guys have to get through Skenes first and thats going to be very tough with Skenes pitch limit being like 80 to 90 since it is the semi finals.
@hunterjohnson4748Skinnes? Does he have even any post season experience before? I think Trey Yesalvage is much better than Skinnes from that perspective, as Trey's mentality has been well proven while Skinner has not (yet).
In the semi finals it's gonna be Soto vs Judge, the Dominican team has been dominating, the US should be thanking their lucky stars the team they lost to Italy got them in the quarterfinals, and barely beat Canada today.
@liberallooney6830 invaded for oil? How old are you? We didn't invade them. We just took their dictator and reassumed control over assets that were stolen from American companies. Venezuela is nasty at baseball. No shame at all losing to them. But again, nothing at all to do with USA vs Canada. Must hurt knowing that there is a new king of hockey. USA baby
Way to go Canada!!! We should have beat the Americans in the olymubut messed that up should have a least tied the game with men on second and third none out and messed that up

this is the worst i've ever seen it
@PSdusk No
😂😂😂😂 es cansado 😪
I wish all the owners would let them play. I know they get payed a lot of money but this should be like the Olympics of baseball
World Cup of baseball is a better comparison. There’s not a single club team in soccer that could ever stop their players from playing the World Cup.
@ImKevPevexactly, it should be an honor to represent your country. I guess there’s a reason why futbol is as big as it is. I feel like the MLB holds them back, instead should invest in the baseball classic and potentially can be just as big.
Why would anything outside of the olympics be considered anything like the olympics? thats dumb.
It's not necessarily the owners that are stopping players from playing, it's the insurance companies. If a player gets hurt then they have to pay for that player which could be hundreds of millions of dollars.
@Woobieeee it depends on the sport. Football, rugby, tennis, and baseball are just a few popular team sports that don’t have the Olympics as the most prestigious trophy
I still don't understand why the USA pitching staff is like that. If they were really serious , they'd have their best pitchers on the team
The owners won't release the best pitchers for international duty
These are their best pitchers.
@viniciusmsousa no these are not lol far from it
@isaiayeet___4567name a better pitcher in the MLB then Skenes, and Skubal?
Risk of injury, among other things.
Well done Canada!!! We are very proud of our team.
To think Canada hung with the US in baseball was unfathomable when I was growing up
Owning them in hockey and baseball
Yall have learned to love losing 😂
10x population & gdp I’d hope you could win at sports lol
@KTF0 Only winning with a high percentage of Canadian players in the NHL, that's why buddy!!

6:03 wow what a swing that was so smooth
Billy even as a TEAM USA fan or whatever. Dude I agree Bo Naylor s swing with that bomb he hit was EXTREMELY SMOOTH. His swing reminds me of a hall of FAMER who had the most beautiful swing ever in MLB history and that's Ken Griffey jr.

YOU don't NEED TO capitalize EVERY WORD. @Mike-w8b5v
The team Canada is a joke
Yea great swing you should of seen the cam Raleigh nuke foul ball
@noah84bishopno one cares kid
Wow...mason miller has aura!
Not too shabby considering we only have access to baseball diamonds about 6 months out of the year, congrats to the boys for making it this far and making a game of it against a baseball power house and congrats to the US on the win
Brother what? Their training facility is literally in Florida?
😂 ok 👍
@MoralsxSure, but growing up in Canada we don't have this
@jakebombing4232 yeah, kids dont all get shipped to Florida to play, its not a culturally significant sport whatsoever lol
@floop_the_pigs2840it’s gaining popularity and this tournament is helping. Canada gave a pretty good showing and you could tell the USA fans got pretty worried in the 7th there. 😉
Knew this was a tough one for Canada. They did well and shows the US they are still a lil too cocky
2:40 great save by 1st baseman!😲
Two early unearned runs and a failed 2nd and 3rd nobody out cost Canada the game. Could easily have ended differently.
US team pitcher No. 53 BEDNAR has an incredibly strong heart.
What do u mean strong heart? 😅 he has no heart disease?
1:16 Judge is GIANT 😄
6' 7'' CRAZY
But he ain't no leader.
This was a lot closer than expected
Canada really should have tied it. They had a runner on second and third with no outs and one of their best hitters coming up.
We won on a two run error.
@shrapnel77 Bregman beat the throw. Even if the play is made it's a 4-3 win
This is the best editing of a baseball game I have ever seen. Thank you!
tournament depends on the pitcher ⚾
Canada needed to swing the bat more, swear the whole game was just them watching the 3rd strike sail by
Didn’t watch much but the horrid overthrow to 1st that cost Canada 2 runs seems to be the difference in this game. Too bad…
Very proud of how Canada play most of them are minor league players the pitching shut down 5 of the best hitters in the league
USA team not looking like they're able to beat the Dominican Republic. Not by barely winning over Canada and losing in spectacular fashion to Italy.
Nah it’ll be a miracle if they don’t get mercied. This offense can’t keep up with DR. No chance.
Baseball isn’t played on paper!
MAN canada makes mistake DR ITS DIFFERENTS DOMINICAN GONNA WIN
@34SideWinder Nobody said anything about paper gramps, calm down
@matrixphijrno bro. When USA hit the ball, dr is sone
Love being able to root for Mason Miller again. Miss that dude in the green and gold!
Say what you want but this semi boutta be fireworks
Proud of Canada- best WBC showing yet, and were a legitimate threat in this game against a so-called “dream team”.
Where is Alfonso Davis? I dont see him in Canada team
Jonathan David would’ve been a great addition for the bullpen, god damn insurance
didnt see pulisic for team usa. no wonder usa barely won
Maybe because soccer players aren't that good at baseball. 😄
Didn't see Guy Lafleur either.
@my3dviewsoh damn didn’t even think about that
USA looking like they need a new coach.
You would think with all the stars USA has that the score would be crazy, but they only scored mainly because of errors. Crazy
Some unfortunately terrible bad balls/strikes calls went against Soroko that lead to the Toro error and unearned run/three run inning. I know there were some bad calls later against the U.S., too. The Harper at bat springs to mind. Congratz to the U.S., but boy this one hurts. Caissie at the bat, eh!? Nice break out series for the ginger nipper.
6:02 I thought it was Josh Hater for a sec
GG Canada 🔥🤝
Pretty proud of our boys 🇨🇦 its basically a billionaire team vs a millionaire team and we held our own. Cant complain 😊
The USA vs Canada thing is real. I enjoy this passionate competition. It's good for both countries.
Hello 👋
it is.
last they met, Can won in men’s basketball and soccer. Hope they meet in WC. 🍁
Bregman and PCA both getting an RBI
And now baseball fans ... get ready !!! USA VS DR !!! We’re expecting a great game against the DR. Honestly. The USA doesn’t look like the overwhelming favorite everyone thinks it is, but they will definitely use the best pitcher in the world right now ... Paul Skenes ... and that could give them an edge. Even so ... personally I believe the title this year deserves to go to the DR. It would be a shame if a roster like that doesn’t end up lifting the trophy.
🥺 ése trofeo es dé nosotros gracias por él mensaje 😤🔥🔥🔥♥️♥️
I wouldn't count out Japan for the title though.
I'm American, and I'll be rooting for them as hard as I can, but realistically, I actually picked Dominican Republic to win the whole thing.
@Juliocaballista22that trophy is ours, thank you 🥺🧡🧡
Went to this game. Had a good time, but team USA didn't really look like this tournament meant anything to them
I knew from the start team US pitching was gonna be their weakness
owners aren’t willing to sacrifice the season for this tournament that they see as a scouting opportunity…
No se preocupen ese orgullo se los vamos a quitar 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🏆🏆🏆
Yea sure bud
Da ......... Yankee loose!!!!! Say that again Say that again........Da........Yankee loose😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
How'd that work out for you? 🤣🤣🤣
@Br0seid0nIt seems like US will be beaten by Italy twice in this tournament.
@Br0seid0nlol
Something missing from our boys. They don't have that magic.
Oohhh canada
Italia pasará por encima de todos y verá el campeón
Para que los fanáticos disipen las dudas Dominicana campeón del clásico mundial del 2026
lol not anymore
Great game!
DR can beat USA…can’t wait
Canada almost beat em and Italy clearly beat em.
@lawyerd16 almost only counts in horeseshoes and handgrenades....and until you beat 'em in the final...you ain't done nothin boy!
We will see you guys are facing skenes tommrow good luck.
DR needs to factor in that Paul skene is pitching big difference
@garlandvincent3742
I know but he only pitches 4 innings…..
After Venezuela vs DR this game had me snoozed out 😢😶
Bora boring
The loss to Italy might be the best thing that could have happened to us.
well...that was pretty close for the USA😅
They need to thank Toro for that two run error. If the US loses Sunday, it would not surprise me as I do not get strong team vibes from these guys.
Those throwing errors by Toro and with 2 on nobody out they struck out all 3 times. No excuse they deserve to lose.
Yeah a few critical moments that didn’t go right but they also did some things that gave them a chance to win.
Canada fan here. Agreed. Josh and Tyler were not great the whole WBC and, sorry to say, choked in that spot. Too bad, could have been a lot different had they showed up.
@Brackcycle wish they had freeman :(
@Brackcycle That throw to first base, was painful to watch
They’re going to get crushed if they keep playing like this. They’re way too overconfident.
Harper has not had an “elite” WBC. They need to take him out or move him to the bottom of the lineup
Great pitching 🤑
1:56 who is this illustrious American angel?
Final : Japan vs DR
Possible ...
... but you never know. 🙂
Baseball is too unpredictable especially when every team has the talent to win
Im hoping for USA, but that would be fun.
It will be close. DR has to get through skenes first and i do not see it hapoening. Plus Skenes can actually pitch more like 80 pitches so its going to be tough for DR.
Nope Venezuela beat Japan
USA is gonna get destroyed by DR
Nope
We might even see the mercy rule with the gap between the 2 teams. DR smoked Korea who are far better than Canada.
노노 우리에겐 스쿠발과 스킨스 바비윗jr 애런저지 칼랄리 카일슈와버 하퍼가 있다 카일슈와버의 분노의 방망이맛 한번 보면 힘이 쭉 빠질걸?😅
@iitbftw You're giving Korea too much credit. Canada is definitely the stronger team.
No No No we have Captain America😂
I'm still fuming we didn't even let Kershaw play one inning?!
Old or not he has the experience!
Let's go USA!
Okay, but now it will be with the Dominican Republic 💀
3:15 YEET
I’m a DeRosa fan..BUT his management of team USA in this tournament will be dissected by MLB and unfortunately won’t end well for him..what I don’t understand is how can he possible have Gunner Henderson on the bench. I understand about Bobby Witt is playing grreat but find a way to get Gunners bat in the line up
Just realizing baseball is better than any other sport down the stretch in terms of drama
Witt
Turang
Judge
schwarber
Bregman
Harper
Anthony
Smith
PCA
this is the lineup
Goldschmidt is playing better than Harper
I’d swap Gunner for Bregman
Before the WBC started I was really hyped about the US team. I was thinking they were the clear favorite. But to they look like 💩- DR is gonna murder them
It depends on how long Skenes pitches for. If they pull him in the 4th, they will be. If they let him pitch until the 7th, that's a different story. Not many batters can hit off him. He's the best pitcher in the world (him and Skubal)
@T-Will-4554 The Pirates won't let him pitch 7 innings. And they have the final say.
if skubal only stayed smh
Wait did he really pitch just the one game then head back to spring training?
@Artemis_23_24 Yes bro
@joshyboy645 Then why even show up? what a waste of a roster spot. shows that Team USA isn't serious about this at all.
1st punch out inb9th was BS. Let's go DR
Mason miller is a cold blooded closer....hope he ll pitch in domi ican republic game
He may probably be able to pitch in the next match against DR due to incompetency of the other closers, but Miller would probably end up blowing up his save by giving up a couple of home runs or even a grand slam before being pulled out.
@Patriciohkg😮😮😮😮😢😢😢😢😢
No team is inspired to win like 🇩🇴
Should be a great game
We going to see skenes vs DR offense...it's gonna be crazy
Pittsburgh couldn't manage to make it through to the playoff last year even with Paul Skinnes.
Skenes was too much for the dr offense they only score 1 run
DR is just to good for USA I think.
nope. you’ll see
When most of your great pitchers are not playing, yeah, obviously.
i didn't know dillusion was a republic....where you from dillusional republic....hihihihihihihihihihi
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
USA USA USA!!!!!!
I was WAITING TO COME BACK TO THIS COMMENT. YESSSIRRR
This game was really sloppy because of Abraham toro making so many bad plays
Umpire saved that game for the US
Guerrero Jr. and Freeman would have been nice additions. 🇨🇦 Oh well, good job, fellas.
Not to mention Nick Pivetta, Cade Smith and Jordan Romano would have been great to have pitching for us.
Still I'm proud of what Team Canada accomplished though.
Everything was set up for USA to not face Japan until the final if Japan makes it that far
You know that was definitely rigged bracket for a reason
La MLB no sirve i el comisionado tampoco son unos tramposo y traicionero pero van a tener que bajarse lo pantalones ante nosotros los dominicanos que somos los mejores gracias adiós que está en lo cielo y está con nosotros
GO USA also I’m sad Clayton kershaw is gone 😔
US easily could have lost this game. I don’t see how they have much of a chance vs the DR even with Skenes on the mound.
Just look at how Pittsburgh performed last year even with Skinnes, as simple as that. Look forward to seeing Vladdy the Canadian hit a grand slam from Skinnes next match.
Canada almost won
Yup Canada's new slogan..WE ALMOST WON!!.
Really minor league players vs that team and it was close Valdy will eat them alive
@TommyA5150it isn't good that USA barely won against Canada btw this isn't Olympics hockey where Canada has a good team
@rickmckay3039 Half of them are currently in the majors, with a few with past major league experience. So, not exactly a minor league team. Not to mention that the ones actually playing in that game were mostly current major leaguers.
But they didn't
One Canadian-Domenican will defeat USA. Blue Jays favourite Vladdy.
Da....... Yankee loose .......say that again say that again ........da .......yakees loose!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
HA....FADDY VLADDY GONNA CHOKE ONE LIKE HIS BLOW JAYS
@DavidRoidtiz-z1bBut Vladdy is Yankees' Daddy though. Who is blowing who then?
@Patriciohkg it's more like DAAAAA BLOWWWW JAYS CHOOOOKE hahahahahahahahahah....what was the score going into the 9th last year hahahahahahahaha
@Patriciohkgliving rent free in your head 🇺🇸
is it me or does USA have no aura this wbc?
we're just bored of beating canada at every sport.
How about Logan Webb
🇩🇴✋🏻🇩🇴✋🏻🇩🇴✋🏻🇩🇴
GG!
As a mexican I’m confident our Dominican brothers will take care of the US, no hate for the US or anything, but facts are facts.
🇲🇽🇩🇴
Absolutely, we all know Vladdy is Yankees' Daddy. No doubt about that!
Haha we will see you guys have to get through Skenes first and thats going to be very tough with Skenes pitch limit being like 80 to 90 since it is the semi finals.
@hunterjohnson4748Skinnes? Does he have even any post season experience before? I think Trey Yesalvage is much better than Skinnes from that perspective, as Trey's mentality has been well proven while Skinner has not (yet).
@hunterjohnson4748 The Pirates would not allow that.
The world hates usa
Mason Miller is different
hope the astros fan with that massive K is at the next game against DR
Canada had it in the 7th.....no excuses
When the bad guys win 😅
World hates usa
In the semi finals it's gonna be Soto vs Judge, the Dominican team has been dominating, the US should be thanking their lucky stars the team they lost to Italy got them in the quarterfinals, and barely beat Canada today.
dont forget austin wells man
Barely beating still is a winner, something Canadians wouldn't know anything about
Vladdy vs Judge.
Vladdy is Judge's daddy.
Just hope Dominican Republic dismantles the United States of Atrocity
😢
Top “9 inning guy in baseball” is Aroldis Chapman but, besides that, let’s go USA 🇺🇸!!!
it is such a shame Italy didn't lose to MEX allowing this group of clowns to move into the KO stage after no taking this event seriously
USA is not getting past the Dominican Republic
😮 oops
Canada having a rough time , lost Olympics to USA , blue jays lost to dodgers , Canada lost to USA in wbc
Former Canadian PM bagged Katy Perry, the astronaut.
😅😅😅😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Good thing bracket was rigged so USA not have to play Japan right?
@SpeckyFishing1965in your dreams .
USAhockey, baseball >Canada😅
USA BABEYYY. we got this in the bag. DR is our next victims 😈😈😈⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️
DR 12 US 2 . Will be lucky if the mercy rule doesn't get invoked.
@tyrapp262what was that again bro??😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Go judge nyy jets isles nets NBA you rock
Go Yankees
This was the first time I ever wanted Canada 🇨🇦 to win
*EVER!*
You should *NEVER* want Canada to win!!! Always bet America!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Aw man. Too bad. Too sad. 🇺🇸💪
Is it cause you're salty Canada lost at both hockey finals at olmypics
🎉
2:40 Ironic😂
GG USA, GJ Canada! Dominican Republic is going to be an extremely tough opponent so better be ready!
Americas all stars and future hofers against the Naylor bros and Tyler O’Neill 😂😂 and still only won by 2
So boring🥱
This game wasn't boring at all 😂
Bro definitely plays soccer this game was anything but boring
Canada is down so bad right now. How many beatings at the hands of the USA can they endure??
lol. The USA just lost to Venezuela 🇻🇪
@liberallooney6830 What does that have to do with America smacking Canada around?
@Bretde1It means America got smacked around themselves by a smaller country - and a country they invaded for oil. Karma comes back to get ya.
@liberallooney6830 invaded for oil? How old are you? We didn't invade them. We just took their dictator and reassumed control over assets that were stolen from American companies.
Venezuela is nasty at baseball. No shame at all losing to them. But again, nothing at all to do with USA vs Canada. Must hurt knowing that there is a new king of hockey. USA baby
Way to go Canada!!! We should have beat the Americans in the olymubut messed that up should have a least tied the game with men on second and third none out and messed that up
