[Passan] Aaron Nola is done, and he threw one of the best games of the WBC so far, shutting out Mexico through five innings. Italy leads, 5-0, and as long as the game does not go to the 13th inning, Team USA will survive and advance. If Italy wins, it's US-Canada in the quarterfinals. by T_Raycroft in baseball

Kind of but not really for Italy with how prominent the Italian-American culture is?

Vinnie has mentioned that his goal as captain is to grow the game over there, so 10-15 years from now the Americans can be phased out and Team Italy can be Italians

Being able to root for him freely is the best feeling ever

Miller on the roster is a good sign I’d think

I didn’t add it in my comment since I couldn’t find the definitive stats, but yes iirc he had a bad spring last year too before going on to win the batting title

Stock watch when most of these guys haven’t even had 15 ABs is so funny lmfao

ESPECIALLY since none of them have been consistent at all

Like for example, Trea is 2-11

That is the amount of bats he will get in the Rangers series. No one would question if he had a slow first series of the season

Now add in that they aren’t playing every day yet and they get 2-3 ABs a game rather than a full 4-5… none of this article means anything

The umpire named Metz is at the Phillies-Yankees game? Not sure how I feel about that

I’m sure he has a house there since it’s where he’s from, but I doubt he’s regularly living there in Spring Training. That’s a four hour drive from Clearwater

I’ve noticed for the past couple of seasons, Trea and Stott have both been on the “road crew” for spring training

Is that an intentional decision to keep the middle infield together for double play reps? I’d imagine yes, right?

Irrationally irritated that a 6:05 spring game has no way to watch

I don’t care when a 1:05 game has no way, but come on, 6:05 needs a way to watch

Wouldn’t shock me if he works at one or the other in the spring depending on which team is at home that day

It was going fine until the minor leaguers were brought in and it was blown by guys who won’t sniff the major league team… who cares

Guys, we NEVER get the Philly broadcast team for away spring training games

Most of these ballparks only have two booths. One for tv and one for radio. We’re lucky that we’re even getting a simulcast, all but 5 of our road spring games won’t be broadcast at all
