With Cuba Anxious & Excited!!
The magnificent Tokyo Dome is one of Japan's greatest treasures and it has hosted World Baseball Classic games in all five years of its existence -- 2006, 2009, 2013, 2017, and 2023. The baseball-loving Japanese are currently hosting the most star-studded WBC in history with a plethora of Major League Superstars that include Japan's unique icon and Babe Ruth-like Hitter-Pitcher named Shohei Ortani. Tomorrow at 6:00 A. M. Eastern Time the Tokyo Dome will host Team Cuba vs. Team Australia to start the Quarterfinals of the 2023 World Classic. Team Japan, of course, easily won its four games in the 5-team WBC Pool B. Japan has Major League teams rated almost as good as the U. S. Major League teams, and Japan in the 2023 WBC also has some top U. S. Major League superstars, including the incomparable Shohei Ortani who is in his prime and the most acclaimed baseball player on the planet. But Team Australia, which gave Japan its closest game in Pool B and then the Aussies easily won their other games to make them the big favorites over Team Cuba to start the Quarterfinals tomorrow -- March 15th-2023 -- in the Tokyo Dome. But Team Cuba earned its trip to Japan by winning the 5-team WBC Pool A that was played in a raucus new stadium in faraway Taipei, Taiwan.
Baseball-loving Cubans should read this huge article today in The Japan Times about tomorrow's WBC Quarterfinal game between Australia and Cuba in the Tokyo Dome. The article predicts Australia will beat Cuba!!!!
Also, as shown above, The Japan Times seems to be rooting for Australia against Cuba in tomorrow's big Quarterfinal WBC game in the Tokyo Dome.
And, as shown above, The Japan Times today explains that Australia's baseball scouts have compiled a minute update on Cuba's WBC team...but, of course, Cuba has also compiled a top scouting report on the Australian team.
Every team in the 2023 World Baseball Classic that plays Cuba has to be most concerned with containing Yuan Moncada and Luis Robert, two young Major League superstars.
Cuba won the WBC Pool A competition in Taiwan because Yuan Moncada, #10, and Luis Robert, #88, both proudly and bravely begged their Major League team, the Chicago White Sox, so they could play for Cuba in the World Baseball Classic. Yuan is a powerful 27-year-old switch-hitting Third Baseman and Luis is a 25-year-old powerful Center Fielder. They are the reason Cuba is playing Australia tomorrow to start the Quarterfinals of the 2023 World Baseball Classic in the Tokyo Dome. The game starts at 6:00 A. M. Eastern Time and will be televised by the Fox Sports Network {FS2}.
