I was just about to post "Is Mike Piazza backing his Italian squad?" as a joke about how ridiculous it was that he played for them in the WBC eons ago. But because I'm a man who likes to know things, I googled it and, son of a bitch, he's their manager! What a traitor!

Italians/People of Italian descent have a strong ethnic pride.

Imagine that, bunting to advance runners, and hitting the opposite way to produce runs. Kind of lost in the majors these days. Those teams are scrappy.

Taiwan is leading the Netherlands 5-2 in the 3rd. If the Netherlands can win, they clinch the top seed in Pool A and advance, and Italy and Cuba are eliminated. If Taiwan wins, everyone is still alive for the 1 seed.

So.if Taiwan hangs on here, then Cuba beats Taiwan and Italy defeats The Netherlands, all 5 teams in the pool will finish at 2-2 and tiebreakers will come into play.

Nicaragua and Puerto Rico on FS2 right now.

Marcus Stroman, who started for USA and shut down Puerto Rico in the 2017 championship game, is now pitching for Puerto Rico.

Don't like how dudes can flip from country to country each tournament. It should be like international soccer where you can choose whatever country you have ties to, but once you play for that country, you have to stay with it.
