The fuck?
Looks like Italy and Israel are gonna get shit on
Israel has a few MLB Jew ringers
who even plays for the jew team
>Mlb network
Welp can't watch it now. Was excited to watch those comfy asian games at 5am before classes. None of the streaming services like slingtv have mlb network. Great way to grow the sport MLB. Its not 1990 anymore. Cable is dead.
kek the jews have a player named Shlomo
some isreali network will be streaming
...

Which players that are even good play for Taiwan?
None really but the Dutch just have awful pitching
If the US doesn't make it to the finals they are to disband immediately and never play again
literally can not lose
lmao, look at this poorfag who cant afford MLB Network. Too bad I dont give a shit about this meme tournament and would rather watch my team's spring training games.
Now that's a group of death.
Aruba is part of the Netherlands. Their Caribbean possessions are the only reason they're in contention.
What players brought shame to their families by not becoming doctors or lawyers?
Might be the worst team we've sent yet desu. Still should be plenty good enough to win though, but they won't
CF Sam Fuld (FA; last played for A's in 2015)
3B Ty Kelly (Mets non-roster invitee; spilt time between AA & AAA)
LF Blake Gailen (FA; last played AA)
1B Nate Freiman (FA; last played AA)
RF Zach Bornstein (Arizona; AAA)
DH Cody Decker (FA; lp AA)
C Ryan Lavarnway (Oakland; AAA)
2B Tyler Krieger (Cleveland; A+)
SS Scott Burcham (Colorado; A)
SP Jason Marquis (FA: lp Cincinnati in 2015)
He'll probably only throw 40 pitches
Is the Israel team literally all just American Jews?
