But I don't know if that's like I don't know what the betting odds are, but I would guess that it's not that they're right behind like the Puerto Ricos and the Venezuelans.

I think I overrank like overrate them.

according to what they like normally are rated because i know that they're gonna have a pretty solid squad but in this tier the teams that stand out to me that i'm like really hyped about are taiwan i would say columbia and honestly great britain oh you are so high on great britain yes like i think they could win a game or two because if you look at the pool that they're in

Like they – so it's USA, Mexico, Italy, Great Britain, and Brazil.

I think they can easily beat Brazil.

That's one win.

And then if they have one more win against Italy, if Italy pitches Aaron Nola against Mexico or USA –

and they don't have a number two that's very strong, then you have Jazz Chisholm, you have Harry Ford, you have maybe some of the one or two really solid NPV players who happen to be eligible for Great Britain playing for them.

That's a top of the lineup that could actually score some, put together some runs.

And if you win two games, there's a decent chance you move on to the next round.

Yeah.

I mean, the thing is, like.

I think depth is needed more than high-end starters or high-end relievers.

Yeah.

Because you have a pitch count for all of these players.

So even if you get... Even if Jacob deGrom were to play for Team USA, he'd only pitch two innings in a game.

So you're going to have a lot of piggybacking starters.

You're going to have a lot of one-inning guys from the 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th.

So...

chapman's gonna be absolutely dominant in this ninth but you got to get to that point with other pitchers so um yeah i i like the teams that have the pitching depth which taiwan has a ton of pitching depth great britain we don't know what the rest of their pitching um like rotation is gonna look like or their bullpen is our guy doing it again eligible is our guy doing it again um
