Anyone watching? Have a favorite team? Notable moment? If you are watching and want to jump in with a comment or observation, jump in!

Have to say, I’m enjoying Venezuela … they are coming on gang busters. Berríos got chased out of the game tonight, giving up 6 in an inning+ of work.

And two of my favorites … Eddie and Eduardo are playing ❤️

It allows foreign players to play for their national identity, it gets the entire world excited about the sport like the World Cup does for soccer, you get stories like Duque Hebbert who nobody had he

I will never understand not enjoying the WBC. To each their own, but Ohtani vs Trout with a title on the line is literally as good as it gets in baseball. These players care. They're going all out. Th

Moran has an amazing changeup. The hitters are sitting on it and still can't touch it. I know he struggles with walks but his stuff plays and the Twins absolutely need him, even if we get nervous watching him pitch.

By June im hoping he will #1  lefty out of the Pen!!!

López still in there!

For Twins fans who have not watched Pablo Lopez pitch before (via mlb.com or live), this is a good chance to see how he works. I felt strongly previously concerning Pablo Lopez as the Twins very best pitcher and we can see right now how good  his stuff is.

I  know so much can go wrong with any pitcher but from the moment the trade was made I have been hoping that the Twins can ride Pablo  Lopez through a successful season.

Nice move to take him out for the ovation. Pablo pitched well.

The Miami Marlins see these huge crowds and wonder.

That was a Class move,  he still had 7  pitches left,  Nice move !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've always been a big fan of Dereck Rodriguez going back to his early pitching days. Such a great dude. Was fun to see him have a breakout season with the Giants and follow the journey since. Glad the Twins brought him back last year and again this year. 

Arraez is still fun to watch. Eduardo. Moran, well, we got the full experience. Three strikeouts. Two walks. Some great changeups. Way too many pitches. Vazquez catching for Puerto Rico.

I'll never say a bad word about Berrios, but that was a rough start, for sure. I hope he figures things out again this year and gets back to what he was with the Twins. If he can do that with the Jays, he's a Cy Young candidate. 

Of course, worrying about Berrios would be about the same as Cleveland worrying about Cal Quantril not getting out of the first inning against Great Britain. 

Speaking of... how about Edouard Julien. Homered on the first pitch of the bottom of the first inning and then walked four more times. Impressive! 

Aaron Whitefield has had some big hits for Australia. That's the fun stuff...

But that Pablo Lopez performance was pretty awesome!

The emotion, attitude, flare, and excitement these teams play with is awesome to watch. Hoping it continues to bleed into MLB baseball as the years go on. The crowds are amazing and loud. It's such a different vibe than MLB.

Venezuela and Japan looking awfully good so far. Especially Japan. No idea how anyone beats that team. So much talent. They have some absolute freaks on the mound. Would be nice if the Twins could snag one of them when they're posted in the next few years 🤞
