Truly amazing how much recognition the wbc classic is getting, even baseball in general. Thanks to all these amazing players with a big platform the sport will keep on becoming a sporting event not to miss!
With all respect no one cares about this
Wow come out I'm sorry I watched this highlights nobody even knows the World Baseball Classic is but I actually might watch a little bit of it the score was 13 to 2 this is way better than Major League Baseball I stand corrected I'm actually interested
Shame none of the elite American starters wanted to show up. They're running out starters with a 4 ERA in 2022.
Lots of good relievers though.
Si ojalá y con los años siga creciendo
@@f.a.f.ocalitodewhatsrighti3365 speak for yourself lol i love this
Ratings will be through the roof insane if it’s a Japan v USA Final. Trout batting against Ohtani will be epic.
Gonna happen
God I hope that's what we get
They'll be through the roof either way. USA VS Mexico would be an epic final game.
They said Ohtani will pitch in relief for team Japan because he will be the opening day starter for the Angels, but just to see Ohtani pitch to Trout will be exciting ⚾️
Would like to see Trout pitch to Ohtani. It would never happen, but one can dream.
The WBC skyrocketed from being a good tournament to attracting the best players in the world. I think Trout and Ohtani participating will give the WBC long-term legitimacy and it will will become a premier/must-see event. Makes me love baseball even more!
I don't think you'll ever get the biggest of American pitchers because of the money that's sunk into them and the care with which teams get them ready for the season, but you could definitely get the best hitters and fielders and a good set of #2 pitchers.
@@billhicks808 I see your point. I hope that changes though. If their innings are managed it could be a much more realistic preparation than spring training ever could be. Maybe perceptions will change. A pitcher can get injured at any point and sometimes being too careful makes injuries more likely. For instance, back in the day the expectation was that pitchers would try to pitch complete games every time they took the mound.
@@billhicks808 No chance aces will turn up. DeGrom has enough problems as it is lol Ohtani would play though and he would only choose an MLB team that would allow him to play for his country. The Japanese pitchers are amazing. I don't know if you have seen their games but they should all be in MLB. Most of them throw mid to upper 90s with great control and nasty breaking balls. I think they'll beat Mexico, which will make the Championship game even better since Ohtani will pitch.
@@SG-jm7np i agree. even Ohtani is now only coming out of the pen. But yeah, they definitely have a more old school approach over there. MLB coddles some of these pitchers way too much and that can lead to injuries as easily as overuse.
@@billhicks808 the more the tournament grows, which it's already getting big, the more clubs will let starters deal.
One more everyone, whatever happens, this was a great run. Go USA!!!!!🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
I'm telling you bro, this tournament has been heaven to this lifelong baseball fan! Go! Go! USA! 🇺🇲⚾🇺🇲⚾🇺🇲
Dude, this was the top comment whenever I clicked this video, I thought that it meant we HAD a good run and we lost, and dude I was about to be in tears lol. Then I watched the video and reread it lolol
@@Corwin1141 Same here!!
Baseball will always be king!!
the players taking steroids
@@angel-ij4xv salty Cuban
A WBC run that the USA won’t forget! This WBC has been so electric overall and has been amazing to watch. Trea Turner is putting on a clinic and adding to his future HOF career for sure. Also cool to see Cedric Mullins homer too. Phenomenal energy 💪🏼
@@redstoneslover4385Reporting u and the comment
Great win from the United States and Trea Turner is just unstoppable right now! Happy to see USA getting a chance to defend the WBC title! 🇺🇲
Still not going to beat Japan tho.
Libertad para cuba!!
Liberty to the STARVING Cuban people who live in an OPPRESSIVE COMMUNIST DICTATORSHIP!
@@red3here - To be fair, Japan has to beat Mexico tomorrow in order to advance to the finals.
@@red3here take Japan away from their element which is homefield in their own dome. Will see, but right now they still have to beat Mexico
@@Lana2k6 plus playing in Miami is basically a home game for Mexico. The entire Latin world is gonna be behind them.
Hello! I am Cuban living in Argentina. I send my congratulations to the American people for the victory in the game of baseball. My greetings. A hug.

Saludos desde Hong Kong
This is the way we expected Team USA to play. USA vs Japan or Mexico should be a great game.
Team USA is a complete team. Trea came in clutch again. Went yard TWICE! He's really locked in. Whether it's Japan or some redemption against Mexico, the championship game will be must watch TV. Let's go defend our title!!! 🇺🇲💪🏽💪🏽
US 🇺🇸 and Japan 🇯🇵 would be the most exciting WBC finals, Im just hoping to see Ohtani pitch to Trout for the dream matchup
ya theyre phenominal.
Bet u didn't say that earlier in the tournament
@@Remixchannel-xv2nhI did lol, our only problem is the pitching.nWe score so many runs but the pitching allows way too many runs in. Our offense is phenomenal, the dream team
@@ThePopeOfSportsEntertainment Fr
This is the world series!
Watching Trea hit those 2 hrs live was amazing
Mookie is one of the most impressive athletes I've seen I'm my short life. He played right the whole game, then ends it by turning 2 at 2nd. He's also a world class bowler, as we all know.
my boy ur a genius
Puerto Rico 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷 supporting the United States since I’m also an American Citizen. May the United States win 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Puerto Rican supporting my Latino brothers .
Goldschmidt’s home run set the tone for the game with the lead and the following homers were overwhelming, demonstrating once again how mighty Team USA can be and how desperate they are for another title. The finals will be insane!
I disagree with Goldschmidt's 2 run homer setting the tone. I think that was Wainwright limiting the damage to one run when the first 4 Cubans reached base.
@@johnathanpatrick6118 Limiting the damage to the minimum is one thing, but to win is another. You gotta score to win the game. The home run was a twist and helped Team USA take the lead, keeping the momentum they needed for more runs, leading to a big win. That’s something.
@@kevinlin3367 Yeah, true, but go back to Cuba's win against Australia. That was a little more like a pitcher's duel. I don't think you'd get that many people believing this Cuban team could outhit or even outpitch this USA team. 1-0 wasn't gonna hold.
@@johnathanpatrick6118 If the premise is that this Cuban team couldn’t outperform Team USA either offensively or defensively, then even if the damage became reality, it didn’t matter that much cuz Team USA was gonna outsocre Cuba sooner or later, right? I focus more on what was the threshold of the breakthrough. And the home run was like “Here we go. Let’s win this game!!”
@@kevinlin3367 Well, I'll say this; whether it's Japan or Mexico for the championship, the US better bring their best pitching. The hitting I'm not worried about, though both teams do have some nice arms to combat our hitters. It's some of our pitching that worries me. What do you think??
USA vs Japan will be a great Finals match!!!!
I agree, Japan 🇯🇵 is undefeated but I think the US 🇺🇸 is the best team in WBC
What a dominant win by the US to advance to the finals!! Their offense is red hot right now! Scored basically every inning except the 7th and 9th! The pitching did a great job with Wainwright recovering from that 1st inning! Go Team USA!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
First inning could have been a lot worse. managed to keep it to one run.
What kept this game from going sideways early was Wainwright's composure. He didn't panic. As a veteran who's been in those situations before, he showed why he's one of the best pitchers in this league. If our bullpen can deliver and our bats stay hot, USA will win it all
Tasak ruclips.net/video/wmvDO-vNKqA/видео.html
But have to be better Tuesday. Japan or Mexico will have better pitching and hitting with more talent playing. Pitching needs to be better. I think hitting is good, but the pitching needs to step up.
Need to work on fielding ground balls.
A Mexico vs USA final would be pretty crazy, hopefully it happens!
The rematch
Great Game but USA Japan would be epic too!!
it will happen if the Mexican Govt approve to let the United States take care of their white Avocados lords
@@erichawkland1887 1
That first inning looked treacherous, glad Wainwright was able to save himself.
USA was incredible tonight and we have a great shot in the final. This last match is gonna be great!
Agreed. Go Team USA!🔥
But just a pet peeve of mine... it's a GAME, not a MATCH. Thx.
Baseball is a American sport we always have a good shot
@@Student0Toucher yawn
@@CubaMiami sorry
@@CubaMiami y’all communists got trounced.
Last night made USA red hot! Let’s keep it going into the finals! Go USA! 🇺🇸
Trea is insane. Flat out just a menace at the plate.
what a truly disciplined squad of professionals, USA on fire, winning and displaying class and sportsmanship
Can't understand how some people say there should be no MLB players in WBC. Just look how amazing these matches are
Winning a world championship without the best players does not make you the best in the world.
Trea Turner is on another planet right now, it's truly amazing how great a player he is
We need USA 🇺🇸 and Japan 🇯🇵 in the WBC finals, 2 best teams and 2 best players Ohtani and Trout ⚾️
Not happening. If Mexico gets through japan they’re taking it all. They already beat 2 of the best teams of the tournament USA and PR now it’s japans turn to taste some Mexican pepper 🌶️
Easy teams USA played.
@@gotchabud3047 nope
@@thunderclaws3341 u waited until after the game to say that? Lol they had em scared af
@@gotchabud3047 calm down bruh u said not happening but when i simply say “nope” i did something wrong?
We all have heard of The Brazil" with the 7-1 match against Germany... USA heard about it and said, "hold my beer, let's go ahead and double that."
Trae showing up as the MVP and that isn't taking anything away from the rest of the crew! What a team.
Venezuelan here and even though I obviously wanted a Venezuela - Japan final a US - Japan final would be a dream game and the best that can happen to baseball right now. And Trea Turner is on fire 🔥!!
Agree this Japanese Team is so scary, and so many in the World are rooting for them. The Sumurai have fans all over the planet, and for them its not a question to play and give 1000%!
Big respect to all the teams, and true Japan is a hard one, but first things first, and Mexico still alive and hungry of victory🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Respect from the US
What type of baseball leagues does Venezuela have? Pro leagues?
@@mspionage1743 winter league
This might be the best US team i've seen. Top to bottom is just nuts
maybe based on their lineup, but not the pitching staff.
like trea turner is the 9th hitter in that lineup. Its crazy
@@johnhenry9453 Imagine being a pitcher having to face Nolan, Trout, Goldschmidt, Mookie, Turner back-to-back-to-back. Yikes🥶 all this without Harper and Judge…
@@johnhenry9453oh and Tucker….
Best batting lineup, agree. Pitchers? Don't agree.
Trea Turner!! OMG! This man is on fire!! He is crushing the ball right now and it's awesome to watch!!
Thats the way to go into the finals..confidence high & absolutely lighting it up
Baseball is huge in other countries beside usa. Like japan, korea and dominican republic and venezuela. They need to invest more promotion in these kind of events.
Congratulations Team USA
A baseball fan greets from Taiwan
Can you imagine if we had all of our best pitchers playing as well?
The Giant has awoke !! Cuba was so good and dominant !!! So much talent!!! Respect !! Lets go US!!
Great win for the U.S, but let's be real, Cuba is far from dominant or as talented as they used to be. 99% of eligible players refused to play for Cuba. The U.S beat Cubas 2nd string players.
@@crouchingtiger2870 exactly dude, all the best players refused to play for Cuba
@@crouchingtiger2870 Agree...but man they still have a great deal of talent!! Did better than most projected !!
“Cuba was so good and dominant”😂
This “team asere” was only able to connect 2 runs, some major league Cuban born players like “Moncada” were humiliated, that was an embarrassing performance, c’mon now, be serious…. USA was the dominant since the beginning and all the way to the end in the game connecting 14 runs with home runs included …remember this name “Trea Turner” and the rest of the team USA 🇺🇸 all stars
@@crouchingtiger2870they didn’t refuse to play 😂😂😂 they couldn’t play for Cuba. If they left during international events or said something about the govt they couldn’t play for them. It was so nice seeing Cuba lose this bad.
Turner is an absolute beast...
I am glad MLB is highlighting this and bring awareness to team USA
It’s not just team USA it’s every team, it’s the entire tournament. Almost every team has MLB players on it. But yes this tournament is definitely getting the recognition it needs
@@jessehernandezjr1654 sure, support the country you wish. The sport is most popular in the USA. Gaining USA fans and supporters is what pushes this. Without it, MLB wouldn't even bother with the tournament.
@@jessehernandezjr1654 it is no different than the Olympics. Sure I could see my favorite players playing for other countries but that really just doesn't cut it for me. I am sure I am not alone. I want to see USA baby!
Mike Trout is an absolute beast!!!! My son loves Mike Trout and he's a pitcher and first baseman. Team USA is playing amazing baseball. Keep going guys. Good luck!!!!!

Wow, if Japan wins, it's gonna be a match of a lifetime.
People keep saying this but fail to remember that when US played Japan in the last WBC, the game was underwhelming
@Billy Summers Japan tram is coming for revenge and the pitching staff is more stacked than 2017
As a Cardinals fan, it's so dope to see that 2 of the best players on the entire team is on my team. Goldy and Nolan have been balling out (even though Trea Turner is WITHOUT A DOUBT the MVP)
@@DieselDog1982 lmao what does that mean?
😢 Treat Arenado right 💔
@@DieselDog1982 why is THAT?
2 yrs asking now and MLB still cant provide any video greater than 720p........................smh
Bro, Trea homered twice this game? Dude is crushing balls
Not twice but 3 times I believe
@@dtcc2k9 2 today. He hit the grand slam yesterday
@@JPuReTaLeNt mb I forgot the third homerun was from yesterday
Love to see Japan Vs USA in the finals. Should be a great game
Great USA team. Power, speed, tough to beat. Glad to see dodger players shine. Epic match up against Japan. Best baseball games I've seen in long time. Love the international competition.
Japan or Mexico. Either opponent will be sure to give us a salivating championship.
@@johnathanpatrick6118Whichever team the US faces will be playing on no rest. USA has the advantage of a day's rest. I'd say USA has the chance to repeat
@@frederickglass1583 Honestly that's of no advantage whatsoever. Japan didn't play since Thursday, Mexico Friday. They can throw out completely different rosters for the championship game than what they send out against each other in their semifinal.
@@johnathanpatrick6118 Tomorrow is the Championship. MEX/JPN will be playing on no rest while the USA has today off
@@frederickglass1583 Again, no advantage because of what I just said. Don't rely on their having to play on consecutive days, many baseballers are used to and prefer that in many if not most cases. And both Japan and Mexico got multiple days of rest before their matchup.
Good to see Mike Trout’s still the Kid, out there skipping and catching a fly out
Baseball needed this. What a tournament.
Ima be there for Mexico v Japan tomorrow hopefully my motherland takes us home to the finals 🇲🇽
Go Mexico! Because we need a rematch 🇺🇸🤫🇲🇽
Uhhhh
Cuban food is better than Americano food.
This tournaments 1st innings have been insane
Trae Turner is incredible this World Series. It’s a home run every at bat oh jesus!
Good Day Off Thanks for throwing some good Batting Practice Cuba.
Turner is absolutely on fire!
WOW QUE PARTIDAZO...
The first inning Wainwright was pitching great. ground ball after ground ball no solid contact. Tough breaks. It is amazing to see the passion these players are playing with. This is what baseball is supposed to be!
I'm proud to say I grew up playing baseball at eight years old and to see the country who invented baseball play like this letting everybody in the world that America runs baseball and will always will . The mecca of baseball
It's funny because there was just an article from a day or two ago with the title "MLB happy USA is getting worse at baseball."
Me also, I would love to see Baseball be the # 1 sport in USA again, maybe in a few generation when the general public will realize the real devastation of concussion & CTE in Football...
This is what you call, PUTTING ON A CLINIC 😎✌️⚾️
would love to see USA vs JPN final. Team USA with great momentum following that late rally to win against Venezuela. Japanese team looks to have awesome pitching. I don't really know the current players nowadays but Arenado, Trey Turner, and Mookie Betts have really stood out from the highlights I've seen of WBC
I’m not even a regular baseball watcher. I rarely watch it but man, these games and the players participating got me wanting more !
Was there live playoff atmosphere. The WBC this year has been the best ever! GO USA 🇺🇸
team usa took a little extra batting practice today and it sure was nice of cuba to supply the pitchers boy what a rout if we win the wbc trea turner will be the mvp.
No importa si México o Japón ganen, lo que es un hecho es que será el partido más visto de todo el WBC.
Por otra parte, si gana México, será una locura en el estadio.

Damn USA is stacked
This was a wild game. A lot of history. 3 different pitch invasions in protests against the cuban regime. Lots of pro freedom chants and a lot of cuban-americans undecided on who to root for. Patria y vida.
Cubans should root for Cuba. Unless they are full citizens I guess. But no harm in rooting for Cuba.
@@ethanweeter2732 no thanks. Mexicans are supporting a team. Japanese are supporting a team. Tragically as a Cuban if I support the Cuban team im supporting the regime. Had they won, they go back to the island on a massive propaganda campaign where whatever medals they win are handed to top government officials. The narrative goes as follows...the players didn't win, cuba didn't win....the Revolution won, "our ideology" won....ummmm gimme a break. Again no thanks. I would have supported Tanzania before supporting Cuba 😂😢
Let’s go 🇯🇵!!! Would be cool to see Shohei pitch to Trout!
Yes!
every time they pitch him up and in he looks really bad
@@joelt7869 coming from an Angels fan that area has always killed him. That is the one thing he needs to work on.
@@tonysiedelman1456 I rarely see Mike Trout play but ever since I've been following Team USA i've picked up on that. In real life up and in is my worst nightmare too :)
Ohtani would not pitch.
Yamamoto would. and he is better than ohtani😁
there are many, better than ohtani.
USA should surprise it,
I am Mexican, but I am quite realistic about things; He had faith that Mexico could beat Puerto Rico. But with Japan it is something else, I have no faith that Mexico can beat Japan. What I do have is the vibe and I wish Mexico the best of success in performing the miracle. Congratulations to the USA for the pass to the final..
Mexico will beat Japan and then go through the USA again
As a Puerto Rican I also had no faith that we coulda beaten Japan. All respect PR and Mexico I think both have very talented teams but Japan is just different. Wish you the best tho I’m rooting for my fellow Latinos🤞🏽
@@j.r.3945 As a Dominican, I have to agree as well. Japan is just a different animal. They're STACKED!
Hey bro, just remember, the best team does not always win. Just look at the dodgers. It's baseball, anything can happen.
As a Japanese, I believe average quality of Japanese players is better, but only a few of them have played in MLB…
No one can stop Mexican batters and no Japanese left handed batters can hit from Sandoval when Mexican players and fans are on a roll.
Anyway, I’m sure it’ll be a wonderful game!!
I'm a Phillies fan since I was 5 Schmidt,Carlton, Dykstra, Daulton, Utley, Rollins, Hamel Halliday, I could keep going, and just can't wait to see Turner play I admit I'm giddy to watch him dominate!!!?
American living in Japan here getting nervous I'm gonna have to watch the finals conflicted
Turner is definitely the MVP if the US wins it all 🥵
Grandpa Wainwright out there. I thought he was going to pull something chasing a few of those grounders
It was basically batting practice for these guys though.
I'm very happy for Mike Trout! He's finally getting a ring 😂😂😂
The only thing missing was Trea Turner's slide into home plate with Lakeside playing.
Cubans more preoccupied about fleeing Cuba than focusing on the game.
I was thinking about taking it as a complement. But, nah! FU! 🖕
Mexico or Japan will be no easy task for the U.S. these are some really exciting games.
THEY SHOULD MAKE THE WBC EVERY 2 YEARS SO IT DOESN'T LOSE MOMENTUM.
Trea "MVP" Turner ladies and gentlemen.
And what a win for the US by the way
Love the atmosphere. Glad WBC is back, MLB could learn something about shorter seasons being more fun
USA ! USA !! USA !!!
Awesome win, dominant. This is very fun to watch and an awesome opportunity for the players.
Do I dare say Marcus Strowman is probably at home thinking "I wish I was with the U.S. team" right now?
Why bother he has a title already?
@@ErikPT Yeah, with the U.S., and he's probably feeling like he's missing out on potentially another one!!
CMON MEXICO 🇲🇽
@insinty the game Mexico vs Japan is going to be good but it doesn’t matter because mexico vs USA in the final is going to be good and so is USA vs Japan but I agree Mexico on top🫡
damn... haven't seen the US crushing it so hard since the spanish-american war
Really enjoying this run, trea turner is putting on a hitting clinic, looking forward to seeing him in that phills lineup
I love baseball and I love the WBC. MLB wasn’t giving this enough love back then. Even as a Mets fan and seeing what happened to Diaz, the WBC is fire.
Love this game ❤️❤️
Vamos Mexico 🇲🇽
St. Louis setting the table, Philly clearing the dishes.
Absolutely loving this WBC.
Cuba lost it years ago when they started playing at hitting homeruns only. They have abandoned the other part of the game; sacrifice bunt, just getting on base in general and just making contact with the ball,instead, they are all swinging for the fence.
I watched a lot of videos in the U.S., but the pitcher who got most of the attention was Sasaki. If Japan wins against Mexico, Yamamoto would be the starting pitcher against the US, but Yamamoto is far more highly regarded domestically. This looks like a great opportunity for Yoshinobu Yamamoto to make his name known to MLB fans.
USA vs Japan would be an exciting final
🇲🇽💪
Tasak ruclips.net/video/wmvDO-vNKqA/видео.html
No. Kuriyama announced Sasaki pitch against Mexico as a starter and maybe Yamamoto will be the second. At final game Darvish will start and Shohei commented yesterday he's probable to pitch not as starter but the second/reliever. Well Samurai Japan must beat Mexico first.
Yamamoto is only 5-10. That is extremely short for a starting pitcher. Only Cueto (5-10), Lincecum (5-11) are equally as short as him, as a all-star level starting pitcher. If he succeeds, he would be the shortest in the game.
That means, his margin for error is very slim, thus Yamamoto's chances of dominating in MLB is very very small.
Sasaki would be a much much better MLB prospect.
Imagine if our best pitchers were participating
Just got tickets for the finals and I’m so hyped for it
Congratulations 🇺🇸🦅
why pool A is so weak? pool B only has one tier A Japan, and pool C, D has too many tier A teams.
Nice to see Mullins get some playing time and show his abilities!
The WBC is on fire!! What a great event!!
Watching this WBC as a Cardinals fan has been awesome lol. We've been killing it 😂. Hope USA get to face Japan in the finals. That'd be appointment viewing.
The wainwright defense was a bit sketchy, but Goldy and Nado are rocking it
@RevucumberTechUSA Oh yeah, definitely. First inning had me nervous haha. But Waino being Waino of course figured a way out of it lol.
Here another Cards fan enjoying this WBC as our players are everywhere 😂🥰
本領発揮してる！
決勝で戦うのが楽しみ！
Your writing off Mexico too quickly
That second homer was the identical Mark McGwire Swing 💯👏👏👏
Let's go USA!!!!!
Dominant performance. Well done boys...
Turner home run is love💙💙💙
