  1. 3 of the 4 top American starting pitchers by fWAR last season are now committed to team USA. Almost as good a rotation as we could possibly ask for.

  2. I’m so glad that we’re out of the days of having to rely on Lance Lynn and Kyle Freeland to give us huge innings on the mound

  3. Going from Kyle Freeland, Miles Mikolas and Lance Lynn to Paul Skenes, Tarik Skubal and Logan Webb. I am in heaven

  4. The pitching lineup yesterday vs today is an insane difference, they have the damn dream team now

  5. Some construction worker who’s a part time baseball player from Brazil is going to have to face Skenes, Skubal, or Webb in the group stage.

    Sounds fair.

  6. TEAM USA ROTATION:

    * Paul Skenes
    * Tarik Skubal
    * Logan Webb
    * Joe Ryan
    * Nolan McLean
    * Matthew Boyd

  7. What happens if you’re a very good but not elite USA pitcher, and you commit early, and they put up a post for you, and then all these elite guys join. and there’s no room for you? Do you quietly lose your spot?

  8. I feel bad for pitchers like Lynn and Freeland. You volunteer to pitch for Team USA when nobody else wants to, and next time around, all you hear is how people are glad they don’t have pitchers of your caliber this time.

  9. Almost makes one wish the WBC final was a 7 game affair. It’d be the true World Series 

  10. Important to note: There are pitch count limits in the WBC, so you have to use quite a few pitchers.

    In a way, it’s too bad. It would have been funny to see USA’s incredible staff up against Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitching every inning of every game.

  11. Skenes, Skubal, Webb, Ryan is fantastic 1-4 rotation. Let’s get it boys! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

  12. The USA has a very good team and just like every other WBC they get home field advantage throughout the tournament.  If they don’t win it’s a major upset and I don’t want to hear any lame excuses.

    Btw even though this is an MLB project, Japan should be allowed to host the finals one year.  USA always playing at home and not dealing with the long travel/jet lag is an unneeded advantage for the team that *should* be the strongest in the every tournament.

  13. We have the dream team now and I still haven’t heard a single thing about this tournament outside of baseball circles. MLB should be spending all their promotional budget and then some on this, especially after how great the last WBC was and also how great this October was, keep the momentum going. I’ve been seeing ads and promos for the World Cup and the Winter Olympics for months, c’mon MLB get your shit together for once.

  14. Thank God for these guys being the most competitive people on the planet. I’m sure they all want to be Captain America and we all get to see them try for it
