Aaron Judge will do absolutely nothing interesting after hitting a monster solo shot in the first game, his size 1 million feet will not fill Mike Trouts millville boots. That being said, I think team USA has it this year. everyone is cognizant of the japanese menace, and now guys have some experience hitting against them.

It’s nice to see Skenes on there. Japan has been eating our lunch when it comes to athletics surprisingly often these days. Of course, Forever Young clutched up the breeder’s cup classic in a first ever japanese win back on the tail end of last year (winning JRA horse of the year for it in the process). After what transpired in the world series we can only hope our boys can strike a blow for truth, justice, and the american way.

I really look forward to him vaporizing a 5 foot tall Japanese guy with a 104mph gyroslider. Lots of hype in the past few years for the Japanese dudes coming over from NPB but we have a really good homegrown crop of talent. WBC is the most exciting event in the sport and they should do more exhibitions like it.
