Baseball
Well, to my surprise, the US beat the Dominican Republic in the semifinal game of the 2026 World Baseball Classic, and now we're going to see if they face off against Italy or Venezuela. I'm done making predictions, as I assumed Japan would sweep this year, and they're out.
It is very, very strange to watch what feels like play-off baseball in March, but it's also a heck of a warm up to the season. Getting to see all the DR players pop off against the US was oddly satisfying, even if they lost (only 2-1), knowing the Dominican Republic has a population under 12 million, and a GDP of about $130 billion.
