Summary
Team USA remains alive in the World Baseball Classic (WBC) thanks to Italy’s win over Mexico, and will face Canada in the quarterfinals on Friday night. Team USA captain Aaron Judge credits Jack Hughes’ gold-medal winning goal in the Olympics with firing up the team, and Hughes has sent a motivational message to the players. The US will face Mike Soroka and a strong Canadian pitching staff, led by a 1.50 ERA.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Team USA is always fueled by the NHL, but this time it’s the Olympics.
Aaron Judge wants to copy what the Olympic teams did, and the boys are fired up.
But it’s not just the offense – Team Canada’s pitching is looking strong.
This one feels recognizable early, and it’s all about the momentum.
Original observation: The WBC is where teams go to prove themselves before the real tournament.
