Welcome to Episode 151 of Tablesetters, where we cover everything happening across the world of baseball. Tonight's WBC special focuses on the dramatic end of pool play in the 2026 World Baseball Classic, where Italy finished a perfect 4–0 in Pool B, Mexico was eliminated, and Team USA advanced to the knockout stage as the quarterfinal bracket was finally set. Italy clinched the group with a 9–1 victory over Mexico in Houston, powered by a historic performance from captain Vinnie Pasquantino. Entering the game without a hit in the tournament, Pasquantino delivered the first three-home-run game in World Baseball Classic history, homering in the second, sixth, and eighth innings to turn a tight game into a runaway. Italy's lineup added to the momentum when Jon Berti homered in the fourth, and a fifth-inning rally widened the gap as Dante Nori executed a bunt that brought home a run before Jakob Marsee followed with a two-run single. On the mound, Aaron Nola gave Italy exactly the start it needed, throwing five innings while allowing four hits and striking out five, keeping Mexico from ever building sustained pressure. The result finalized the Pool B standings with Italy at 4–0, the United States at 3–1, and Mexico eliminated at 2–2. For Team USA, the path through the group included strong offensive production — the Americans scored 35 runs in four games — with contributions from hitters like Aaron Judge, Pete Crow-Armstrong, and Roman Anthony, allowing them to advance as the runner-up behind Italy. Now the tournament shifts to the stage where none of the pool-play math matters anymore. The quarterfinals begin in Houston when Team USA faces Canada, while Italy meets Puerto Rico in the second matchup. On the other side of the bracket, Japan faces Venezuela and Dominican Republic meets South Korea, with the semifinals and championship set for Miami at loanDepot Park. From here, the format becomes brutally simple. Eight teams remain, and every game is win or go home.
Matt Spiegel explained why he believes Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong is best-suited to bat seventh in the club's lineup in 2026.
Welcome to Episode 148 of Tablesetters, where we cover everything happening across the world of baseball. Tonight's WBC special focuses on one of the biggest surprises of the 2026 World Baseball Classic so far — Italy's 8–6 upset of Team USA in Houston, a result that completely reshapes the race in Pool B. For most of the night, Italy controlled the game from the start. The breakthrough came in the second inning when Kyle Teel launched a 347-foot solo home run off Nolan McLean to give Italy a 1–0 lead. Moments later Sam Antonacci crushed a 403-foot two-run homer, scoring Jac Caglianone and suddenly putting the Americans in a 3–0 hole. Italy struck again in the fourth inning, when Caglianone blasted a 403-foot two-run home run off Ryan Yarbrough, stretching the lead to 5–0. Meanwhile, Michael Lorenzen delivered exactly the start Italy needed, throwing 4.2 scoreless innings and holding a lineup featuring Aaron Judge, Bobby Witt Jr., and Kyle Schwarber almost completely silent. The game nearly slipped completely away from Team USA in the sixth inning, when Italy pushed the lead to 8–0. The rally included a fielder's choice that scored J.J. D'Orazio after a Brad Keller throwing error, a Dante Nori sacrifice fly, and Antonacci scoring on a Keller wild pitch. But the Americans finally responded late. Gunnar Henderson put Team USA on the board with a 414-foot solo homer in the sixth, and the comeback accelerated in the seventh when Pete Crow-Armstrong crushed a three-run homer, cutting the deficit to 8–4. The pressure continued in the eighth, when Roman Anthony drove in Kyle Schwarber with an RBI single, bringing the Americans within 8–5. Then in the ninth, Crow-Armstrong struck again, launching a 402-foot solo home run to make it 8–6 and bring the tying run to the plate. But Italy closer Greg Weissert ended the comeback by striking out Aaron Judge, sealing the upset. The final numbers were unusual: Italy scored eight runs on just six hits, while Team USA outhit them 11–6 but committed two costly errors. The loss leaves the United States 3–1 in Pool B, meaning their fate now depends on the final pool game between Italy and Mexico. If Italy wins, Team USA advances as the runner-up. If Mexico wins, all three teams would finish 3–1, forcing a complicated tiebreaker based on runs allowed per defensive out recorded — a scenario made dangerous for the Americans after allowing eight runs in this game. In a tournament where momentum can change instantly, Italy didn't just pull an upset — it turned the entire pool upside down.

Welcome to Episode 146 of Tablesetters, where we cover everything happening across the world of baseball. Tonight's LIVE special follows the opening matchup between Team USA and Brazil as Pool B play begins in Houston at the 2026 World Baseball Classic. We're recording immediately after the final out, breaking down Team USA's 15–5 victory over Brazil — examining pitching usage, lineup construction, key moments, and what the result means for the United States as the tournament begins to take shape. Manager Mark DeRosa entered the tournament with one of the most closely watched pitching plans of any national team. Earlier this week he finalized the United States' rotation structure, beginning with Logan Webb starting tonight's opener against Brazil. Webb has quietly developed into one of the most dependable starters in the National League, built around a heavy sinker that generates ground balls and limits damaging contact. In a condensed international tournament where efficiency can matter as much as dominance, that profile made him a logical choice to anchor the first game of pool play. Behind Webb, the American rotation quickly transitions into two of the most overpowering arms in baseball. Two-time American League Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal is scheduled to take the ball in Game 2 against Great Britain, while reigning National League Cy Young winner Paul Skenes is lined up to face Mexico in Game 3. The fourth game against Italy is currently projected for Nolan McLean, though that plan remains fluid as he continues recovering from a recent illness. The structure of the rotation reflects the unique challenge of the World Baseball Classic. Pitchers must operate under tournament pitch limits while also remaining aligned with their Major League clubs' preparation for Opening Day. DeRosa acknowledged earlier this week that managing those constraints requires balancing competitiveness with long-term health and scheduling realities. Offensively, the American roster remains one of the deepest assembled in international baseball. Team captain Aaron Judge addressed the group before the tournament began, emphasizing the pride associated with representing the United States. The lineup surrounding him features elite star power and positional flexibility, including potential platoon usage in center field between Pete Crow-Armstrong and Byron Buxton. The broader tournament landscape only heightens the significance of tonight's opener. The 2026 World Baseball Classic features 20 national teams competing across Tokyo, San Juan, Houston, and Miami through March 17. Japan enters the tournament as the defending champion after defeating the United States in the 2023 final, while several other nations — including the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, and Puerto Rico — arrive with rosters capable of making deep runs. Tonight was the first step in that journey for the United States — and it ended with a decisive 15–5 opening win.
Team USA’s unbelievable collection of talent includes two Cubs stars who could play prominent roles in this global event. Alex Bregman and Pete Crow-Armstrong are constantly talked about, but this is a huge moment for both players, and a sign of Chicago’s progress over the last several years. The Athletic’s Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney discuss Bregman’s influence on the team and how his presence has changed the tenor of this training camp. Plus, Crow-Armstrong’s deep connections to USA Baseball and how Cubs pitcher Matthew Boyd factors in the WBC plans.Start your 7-day free trial today at FOXOne.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
