US EditionCriticized for Their Cool, American Players Head Into the WBC Final Ap
Team USA reached the World Baseball Classic final with key wins and military-inspired motivation, despite internal conflict over Cal Raleigh's refusal to shake Randy Arozarena's hand.
- On Tuesday, Team USA advanced to the final after wins over Canada and the Dominican Republic, with Aaron Judge's leadership filtering through the clubhouse before Tuesday night.
- Before Friday's game, O'Neill visited the clubhouse and a snippet of his 2011 raid pep talk was posted online; DeRosa said 'You never want it to get lost why you're doing this, whatever that why is.'
- Starter Paul Skenes limited the opposition to six hits and one run in 4.1 innings, and relievers Tyler Rogers, Griffin Jax, David Bednar, Garrett Whitlock, and Mason Miller delivered scoreless outings.
- Observers pointed to the team's staid approach and military ties, noting Cal Raleigh, catcher, refused to shake Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena and wore a 'Front Toward Enemy' T-shirt linked to Robert J. O'Neill, ex-Navy SEAL.
- The result positions the U.S. in a third straight final with title implications, after manager DeRosa called his earlier claim an 'overly confident statement' about clinching, which he later admitted was a misread.
