There is nothing against Countries!
of course I'm feel happy because Mexico beats USA on Baseball.
That is something I told to a friend like
8 years ago, USA have perhaps the best Baseball players, but Mexico also have highly talented players, and on a match at the same level Mexico could win to Anyone!

The tournament demonstrated that the rest of the world is playing better baseball than most Americans realized. The rest of the world, in fact, is actually playing baseball the way Americans used to play baseball.
And now, we come to the first World Baseball Classic and what do we find? National teams from Latin America and particularly Asia playing baseball exactly the way it used to be played in America.
The two teams in the finals, Japan and Cuba, played this way. The most successful team in the tournament by record, Korea (6-1), played this way. It is true that Team USA split against Korea and Japan, but the victory over Japan was stained by a critical and incorrect call by an American umpire that went against Japan.
Against these giants of the small-ball international game, the U.S. sent a home-run-or-nada attack. The long ball approach could have worked, except for the fact that the level of international pitching was much better than expected. Against lesser pitching, the U.S. -- given its power-packed lineup -- could have happily slugged its way to victory. Against the superior pitching it actually encountered, the U.S. would have to depend on manufacturing runs. Oops.
Power is fine. Power is fun. But you'd better have more than power if you hope to succeed in this competition.
Look, the Koreans -- before finally losing to Japan in the semifinals -- gave up eight earned runs in six games. They also committed no errors in seven games. You literally can't beat that kind of game, unless your pitchers are throwing shutouts.
Two Cuban pitchers held the powerful Dominican Republic lineup to no earned runs in the semifinals. After this game, Dominican manager Manny Acta suggested that the Cubans had Major League-quality pitchers performing for them every day in this tournament.
Who play the best Baseball Win.
@mrjaguarin a diferencia del futbol, en el beisbol se combina la fuerza, la habilidad, la inteligencia y la estrategia. El futbol es un deporte de poca concentración y de poca estrategia, por eso el beisbol es el Rey de los deportes. Los beisbolistas mexicanos son los mejores deportistas de conjunto de México. Los futbolistas mexicanos nada más hacen el ridículo en las competencias internacionales.
