Src Ouch... Well, despite reaching the Championship Game for the third consecutive time, Team USA finishes second for the second consecutive tournament. Ugh. Baseball is massive in the USA, and we hold our players to a high standard. But once again the WBC proves to be a massive challenge and it proves that the whole world has a lot of talented players. The sport is always evolving and growing, while Team USA had a lot of talent, multiple teams had high level talent as well, with many All-Stars of their own. There's really not much to say. Mark DeRosa had questionable moments managing Team USA, but even so, DeRosa can't swing the bats for the players. Team USA's bats went completely silent in many key moments, and many key games. Baseball is a funny game sometimes, and it's easy to point fingers, and easy to nitpick certain decisions and question certain players. This game is a wonderful mix of muscle and tactics. It's very chess-like at times. Baseball is full of suspense and momentum
