Because going into the championship game, I was actively rooting for my country to lose to Venezuela.

No, that's why, honestly, coming into the game, so I was like walking around, I was asking people like, oh, who are you rooting for?

And like, yeah, I want America to win.

And last time in the World Baseball Classic 2023, America also made it to the final and they lost to Japan.

And there was a classic situation where Shohei Otani is pitching against Mike Trout.

He strikes him out.

They end up winning the championship.

And it means so much to Japan.

I wanted America to win that one.

This one, America just had like not the best attitude throughout the tournament where you had Scooble coming and going and then...

He kind of started feeling it.

And then in the semifinal game where they were playing the Dominican Republic, he drove back from spring training.

He pitched the day before in a meaningless spring training game for the Tigers.

Drives back that day because he wants to be with the team.

And there's like this whole article written about how he drove through a rainstorm to get there.

which is like, I'm not applauding this.

Like, welcome to Florida.

It rains all the time.

Like, this wasn't a hurricane.

Like, what are we talking about here?
