And Skubal watches in the stands?
 

Nope. Reportedly in the dugout in uniform…. but refusing to pitch in the WBC championship game.

Buxton has been terrible in the classic. Yikes.

IM NOT A FAN OF Derosa,   and im guessing a few players arent also !!

Lotta bats seeming awfully sleepy.  USA looks like it’s feeling every ounce of pressure that an entire sports media conglomeration can press down upon them, while Venezuela looks like it’s being held aloft by the hopes and dreams of their entire nation.

and for him to be penciled in as a Leadoff hitter  is comical , to me he should be  3-4  hitter on this twins team,  But leadoff  tells me it gonna be another year of Rocco way !!!!!!= OUCH

Given that Rocco is no longer the manager, it was probably never “Rocco’s way” at all…
