Hell yea Ern Dog.
ERNIE
He’s like a kid smiling with all of his teeth. That’s adorable.
Also, I’m Yankee fan and he’s *such* a pain in the ass BUT I’m happy he’ll be on our team in the WBC so he can be a pain in the ass against other countries now!
DAWG
Good. Definitely need some role players who won’t complain about being stuck on the bench. Should actually try and grab Chandler Simpson as a pinch runner only role.
Japan proved how important that was last tournament when Shuto scored from first (and almost caught up to Ohtani) on Murakami’s double against Mexico.

I FUCKING LOVE THIS 10/10 BENCH PIECE
Finish this team off with Trea Turner, Trout and a 3rd catcher and it’s perfect
Edit: also good job in the roster building to not just collect MVPs and to actually build a team that’s well structured
I like how there are two forms of players joining Team USA:
Good for us! (Judge, Witt, Skenes, etc)
&
Good for that guy! (Clement, Turang, McLean, etc)
It’s a fun mix. Should be a great team.
Perfect choice. Can play almost anywhere.
He will hit 30 singles off the first pitch and you will love it America
Yeah alright sure
my beloved Ernest
Stupid sexy Ernie
YOU MEAN POST SEASON HIT RECORD EARN DAWG
Big Ern!
Amazing! Exact type of contact/utility guy they could use. Another high strikeout slugger wouldn’t have added anything.
I did not expect this, happy to have him on the team!
THAT’S MY GOAT RIGHT THERE YESSS
Ernie Fucking Clement. Way too nice to not be Canadian. Love that dude.
awww man, i used to love the guy
Easily my favorite player on the Blue Jays, dude is such an infuriating AB and I cannot fuckin wait to root for him

Common man.. Happy for Ern Dog to get his due but man we couldn’t make an honorary Canadian 🤔

a shame dodgers fans are gonna root against team usa now

Yes yes give me that sexy gap power
If you gave somebody no context and asked them what decade a guy named Ernie Clement played in, I don’t think you’d get a lot of people guessing the 2020’s.
Team USA is absolutely stacked
Genuinely shocked to see this, but super happy for the Ern dog. Never would’ve thought he’d reach such heights.
# FOR GLORY ERNIE CLEMENT SIR
Dude was a fucking menace in the WS. Glad he’s using his powers for good instead of evil… lol.
This fits the Willie Bloomquist/Josh Harrison/ Alex Bregman/Bobby Witt Jr. Role of utility player who isn’t expected to play much, not mad about it

LFG now we get to see Big Ern dominate on the world stage
