00:00Venezuela deserved to win the tournament.
00:01They were the best team in the tournament.
00:03I just, losing to that team with the talent you have is frustrating.
00:06And this is where I go to the manager.
00:09Did he have his best team on the field or did he not?
00:12And I understand Cal Raleigh did not have a hit in the World Baseball Classic.
00:16But who do you want up there with one swing of the bat
00:19to turn a game around when you're dead and lifeless?
00:22I'd probably go Dumper.
00:23The big Dumper who hit 60 home runs.
00:26He had 60 homers last year.
00:28He and Roger Maris, Spider-Man.
00:29The big Dumper.
00:31He's 0 for 9 in the World Baseball Classic.
00:33He drew a bunch of walks.
00:34So I don't think they were just worthless at bats.
00:38He had four walks in the tournament.
00:39He pretty much got benched after he stiffed a Rosarena with that handshake.
00:44Which, by the way, I thought was kind of awesome when he was like,
00:47no, F off, I'm not shaking your hand.
00:48Don't look at me.
00:48You're Team Mexico, I'm Team USA.
00:50We're not teammates right now.
00:51No, rivals.
00:51Kick rocks.
00:53He pretty much got buried after that.
00:55Yeah.
00:55And we played, as a country, Will Smith at Catcher,
00:59who, again, you know, is not a schlub.
01:02No.
01:02He was great in the World Series for the Dodgers.
01:04I think he had 17 homers last year.
01:06You need to turn it around.
01:09You left 43 homers on the bench last night.
01:13And so, did Mark DeRosa go down with his best lineup?
01:16Not even close.
01:17And that, to me, is why, even beyond not knowing the rules
01:20and being a general moron, that, to me, is why he should lose his job.
01:25And that's frustrating to me today.
01:27Yeah, no, he should not be involved anymore, Mark DeRosa.
01:30He didn't help.
01:31He also made the team and himself look really stupid
01:34with the whole tiebreaker thing earlier on in the tournament.
01:36So, he's not ready for that.
01:38Like, and if you don't have a current manager doing it
01:40because those guys are busy, there should be somebody
01:42that's more equipped for that job.
01:44I'm with you.
01:45I thought that was a mistake.
01:45I would blame the players more because when you look at the lineup,
01:49I mean, Witt, Harper, Judge, Schwarber, Bregman, Anthony, loaded.
01:53Like, just like the Dominican team, the top six, seven guys loaded.
01:56So, even if you're like, ah, Smith, Terang, and Buxton,
01:59it shouldn't matter against Eduardo Rodriguez,
02:01who last year had a five ERA.
02:04Eduardo Rodriguez, if you were pitching him in, you know,
02:07the wild card round, you'd be like, where's the rest of your guys?
02:11Like, what happened?
02:11Is everybody hurt or everybody's, like, tired?
02:14Or why is he even pitching?
