  4. The winner of this game will be guaranteed a trip to the quarters. The loser will play Canada with a trip to the quarterfinals on the line.

  5. What feels like the most exciting game of the tournament so far is in a rain delay. What a kick in the nuts.

  7. Cuba vs. Puerto Rico (7 p.m., FS1)
    Mexico vs. United States (8 p.m., Fox)

    and rain delay for the first ugh overlapped important games

  9. not sure about Puerto Rico’s pitching, but I think that Cuba won’t have any of their 3 best pitchers (Moinelo, Y-rod, and Raidel Martinez) available tonight, so Puerto Rico seems to be the favorite. Cuba will have very good chances against Canada on Wednesday as those 3 pitchers will be available.

  10. Marky Mark trying to sell a Jesus app vs Zachary Levi selling a King David crusader superhero movie. I can’t wait to cancel FoxOne after the WBC.

  32. 44 year old Ramirez sighting. Last player still playing from the first tournament in 2006 

  35. Pitch clock violation 3rd strike on the Cuban batter to end the inning, I think
