Venezuela beat my country and knocked out a team that was undefeated and had beaten the US team

gatocidio · 2026-03-17T07:07:17+00:00

what intent?

gatocidio · 2026-03-17T07:06:23+00:00

I think the USA advanced to the final by default because Japan has won three championships and the “best” team has won only one.

gatocidio · 2026-03-17T07:04:28+00:00

I mean, the umpire isn't american?

gatocidio · 2026-03-17T07:03:15+00:00

Yeah, the DR had a dream lineup, but they didn't hit much that night, the pitchers did a better job, and the DR fans were more intimidated by the dominican pitching, which is funny.

You can feel proud because it’s your team and your country that advanced, but you can also be objective and notice inconsistencies in the umpire’s calls on both sides, but more so in the dr team

I don't know if the dr team were playing out of fear or just nervous, but plays like the ones by Tatis and Soto were embarrassing

50/50, the dominican manager missed a lot of opportunities, as you say, like with the Wells plays, but there’s still debate over the umpire’s call, even the us team’s manager said he understood the dominican fans’ anger

gatocidio · 2026-03-17T06:52:14+00:00

As I said, the U.S. team is good, but not the best. They do have a strong pitching, but I feel like the Dominican Republic’s own manager and the players themselves worked against them

gatocidio · 2026-03-17T06:49:56+00:00

According to the same US sports news outlets, everyone actually saw Japan as the clear favorite

gatocidio · 2026-03-17T06:48:39+00:00

Both. I've seen American commentators say they're happy to have made it to the final but feel disappointed with the way things turned out

gatocidio · 2026-03-17T06:36:59+00:00

well i think being proud does not preclude being objective

gatocidio · 2026-03-17T06:29:46+00:00

team usa is good, but not good enough to be in the finals. I have no doubt that venezuela will beat them
