I hope that was worth my exhaustion and FuboTV free trial. Word to the wise, get Tubi, there\u2019s no app for Fubo on devices like Playstation.<\/p>\n

The Rest of Today\u2019s Games<\/p>\n
Dominican Republic (2-0) v. Israel (1-1) – 9:00 am PST, FS1<\/p>\n
The Dominican Republic has been operating on all cylinders so far this tournament. The DR has already blown out both The Netherlands and Nicaragua. A win here would secure their advancement to the quarter final, and I very much doubt that Israel will pose much of a challenge for the former champs. Israel can still advance if they beat the DR here, but with a loss already on the board to Venezuela they would need a total collapse from Venezuela in the next two games to even have a chance to advance.<\/p>\n
Colombia (0-3) v. Panama (1-2) – 9:00 am, FS2 <\/p>\n
With the big victory over Canada on Saturday, Panama is still kicking for now. A victory will keep them in the conversation, but barring a total collapse from Cuba and Puerto Rico, it\u2019s more then likely that this will be their last game of the tournament. Columbia is already eliminated and will be heading home regardless of the outcome. Additionally, finishing last in their pool Columbia will now be relegated from the tournament pool and will have to requalify if they hope to return in three years.<\/p>\n
Brazil (0-3) v. Great Britian (0-3) – 10:00 am, Tubi <\/p>\n
Both teams are already eliminated from this year\u2019s tournament, the loser of this game however will also be relegated from the WBC pool and have to requalify for the tournament in the next three years. While both teams have certainly had impressive moments during the tournament there\u2019s still the chance we may not see either team for some time.<\/p>\n
Cuba (2-0) v. Puerto Rico (2-0) – 4:00 pm FS2 <\/p>\n
The winner of this game will secure a quarterfinal berth and go up against the runner-up from pool B, whoever that ends up being. While it is likely that both teams will advance to the next round there\u2019s no doubt that there\u2019s more at stake then standing. Cuba and Puerto Rico have a long-standing Caribbean rivalry in international baseball and pride, and bragging rights will certainly be on the line. Canada still looms large at 1-1, it is not so farfetched that one of Cuba or Puerto Rico could end up out and Canada advances. Canada still has games left against both teams and could certainly be poised for a major comeback over the next few days.<\/p>\n
Venezuela (2-0) v. Nicaragua (0-3) – 4:00 pm FS1 <\/p>\n
Nicaragua is eliminated and unable to finish above Israel or the Netherlands; they will likely be relegated and have to requalify for the tournament. While Nicaragua has been a great Cinderella story for the past few editions of the tournament as more countries begin to make great strides in baseball it\u2019s not looking like we will see them in the next edition of the competition. With a win Venezuela can punch their ticket to the second round; even better, if they can finish above the DR they can avoid Japan in the opening game of the second round.<\/p>\n
Mexico (2-0) v. United States (2-0) – 5:00 pm FOX <\/p>\n
Both teams can secure advancement with a win. Both teams also both have to face Italy who also sits at 2-0. Whichever team loses could be out of the WBC with a loss to Italy later this week. If it ends up close I recommend tunning in to see some Mariner on Mariner violence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sunday was a day of excitement and devastation for baseball fans around the world as teams fought to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":616692,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2392],"tags":[5,620,4,3537,619,65,3235],"class_list":{"0":"post-616691","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-seattle-mariners","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-mariners","10":"tag-mlb","11":"tag-mlb-news","12":"tag-seattle","13":"tag-seattle-mariners","14":"tag-seattlemariners"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116204761573064454","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/616691","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=616691"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/616691\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/616692"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=616691"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=616691"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=616691"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
