    Sounds like it. He'll get to face Trout.

    More people are watching trout right now than at any point in his career. This is his moment.

    Will he choke????

    Congrats Japan. Better team.

    leave up to a Dodgers cheater like Betts to get a double play. Trout the most overrated choke artist in USA to strike out.

    Baseball is good to me. First the Astros and now Japan. Maybe Realmuto and Schwarber are bad luck lol.

    In a sport where the best offensive players in the world fail to get a hit 70% of the time, is it really choking to not get a hit?

    When you want to be considered the GOAT yes it I'd. Jordan performed at the top of the NBA in ways no other player came close. Trout doesn't have that GOAT trait. Yes he's an amazing player but he's not the greatest. Not even close.

    When you want to be the GOAT you have to be extraordinary.

    Gotta say, overall WBC was super awesome this year. Pretty much movie script level ending as well. Anyone who dislikes Ohtani probably just doesn't like baseball.
