Honestly thought we had a good shot to lose this game. Never would have predicted this ass beat. Pretty cool. Clearly it doesn't come close to 2015 but still pretty cool to finally win one of these

That's as about as good a celebration as your gonna get from a bunch of dudes who will spend the next 6 months trying to defeat one another. Well done gents. And a tip of the cap to Jim Leyland. One doesn't imagine he'll have another championship of any kind in him

Damn. What a way to go out. Thank you Jim Leyland. That was an awesome interview. All that needed to be said. Got a little dusty in here...

I thought this would be the toughest game yet. Last time we played Puerto Rico, they made us beat ourselves. Arenado and Crawford had some flubs on defense and that's all it took for the US to lose that one. Incredible showing.

Can't knock him as MVP. Not after tonight's performance. But no doubt who the best player offensively for team USA was

Plus, I'm guessing 100% but it wouldn't surprise me if they treat the championship game as a sort of defacto Super Bowl in the sense that if the player who stands out in that game has given you any ability to vote him tourney MVP, you will. If Stroman had gone 0-2 with a 5 era prior to tonight then no way they could give it to him. But he was mediocre enough in his first 2 combined that his A+ performance tonight pushed him to the top. Judging purely on a full body of work it's Hosmer, not debatable.
