2018 will be Mainieri’s second coaching stint for Team USA after serving as an assistant coach on the Collegiate National Team in 2015, and he will be tasked with continuing an exceptional run of success. USA Baseball is coming off its 2017 season where it became the first federation in history to sweep its international competitions, highlighted by a World Baseball Classic title, two World Baseball Softball Confederation Baseball World Championships and three international friendship series victories by the Collegiate National Team over Chinese Taipei, Cuba and Japan.

PM should be fired. He's an idiot and a horrible coach. LsU makes him, not the other way around.

Furthermore, the discussion around PM is not the same as the ones with Torina and DD.

Seriously
A Horrible coach has won numerous SEC championships and tournament championships and has played for two natties. Winning one.

If you want to argue he’s not the best, then fine. But horrible? That just makes you look stupid.

Last year was a rough one for Paul. But he ended up coaching in the last game of the year.

We can only hope he has as rough a season as this next year.

I guess we'll be getting a few recruits from the DR, Cuba, South Korea, Vietnam, Japan, Mexico, Venezuela and Panama.
