[Highlight] Nate Eaton takes Tarik Skubal deep on the first pitch of the game, making it 1-0 Great Britain after review.
USA don’t give up a leadoff homer challenge: IMPOSSIBLE
this is karmic justice for Skubal joining team usa for only one game just so in case we win he can say he helped
imagine the shit lebron wouldve got if he joined the olympic team for one game against Ethiopia
Ethiopa: “What he say fuck me for?”
Then gets dunked on the first play of the game
🤌🏻
Stripped of the ball goes for the chase down block and gets postered somehow
And I didnt even have to pay 40000 souls for this version of Karmic Justice. Amazing
That’s a lot of souls, emperor
It’s not even that good of a miracle either
To be fair his best games were vs teams team USA was expected to win by a large margin. Also it’s way more difficult to win the WBC then it is to win gold as team USA in basketball. He could’ve played 0 minutes and team USA would still win gold.
I went upstairs to grab my laundry and come back downstairs to see he gave a leadoff homer on the first pitch.
Super glad this guy is so committed to the team for the long run at least! Right?
It’s the only hit their starters will give up though
Tigers frantically googling if they can retroactively use this in the arbitration case against Skubal
“See? We were right to only offer him a 70k salary and a reduced fare parking pass”
Best we can do now is downgrade the parking pass to street parking and a team hat.
💀💀💀
Lmao. I’d bring it up to his agent in every contract negotiation.
Guy from Boston led the charge for Great Britain and drew first blood against America
What did I just saw
From Virginia and went to VMI.
Oh so hes straight up committing treason, ive heard enough
Fucking Torries man.Â
Brexitball
Damn lobsterbacks
You can commit all kinds of treason in the US and nothing will happen.
VMI students have a history of betraying the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_New_Market
Benedict Arnold!
THE BRITISH ARE COMING
Is that why the announcer mentioned he is native to Virginia?
Slander incoming: maybe we don’t want more than 55 pitches of skubal
55 PITCHES, 55 FRIES, 55 TACOS, 55 PIES
55 MEATBALLS
55 SLIDESÂ
After all that ado about skubal, send him back to spring training now
Spring training can’t come soon enough after that opener. Yikes.
I’m cryin man Skubal came to throw 50 pitches of batting practice and serve up a meatball to “Nate Eaton”
That’s Sir Nate Eaton
Nathaniel Eaton Esquire
Any relation to Beautiful Bobby Eaton?
Royals legend Nate Eaton
Nah man you don’t get it he really wants the WBC on his Wikipedia but he doesn’t want to fuck up his season
He really only wanted the easy games just to give up a first pitch homer lol
Somehow, the coughing baby beat the hydrogen bomb
Red Sox continue to deliver.
It’s a real Boston Massacre
I’m currently frantically searching for any tea I can dump into Boston Harbor
Get the duck boats ready
Announcers were still finishing the pre-game lol
Where’s the game thread?
Thread is up https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/1rnpj0n/game_thread_37_great_britain_00_united_states_00/
For some reason the game threads aren’t pinned to the top of the reddit, idk why.
AMERICAN CENTURY OF HUMILIATION CONTINUES
THAT’S RIGHT ALL YOU PEOPLE FROM THE ISRAELI THREAD “OH WHY DON’T YOU HATE AMERICA, TOO?” JOKES ON YOU.
We all know, who start century of humiliation and it was John Barron
NATE EATON
Absolute violation of the Treaty of Ghent.
Rob Refsnyder 2.0
There’s no 2.0’ing Boston Rob, but Eaton might be another in a string of lefty killers the Sox have turned out.
The start of the game for the USA was an Eaton mess
đź‘Źđź‘Ź
Sox kid
We need another revolution.
Nate “Benedict Arnold” Eaton
I feel conflicted
I fucking hate they’re using Houston’s ballpark for this. It looks like somebody installed a gentrified strip mall in a baseball field by mistake.
So glad this guy took up a roster spot to pitch one game and give up lead off dongs
Skubal is in a rush to return to Tigers camp.
Bloody hell…
Embarrassing start for Skubal
Skubal confirmed British secret agent
SOCCER NOW BANNED, IT’S CALLED FOOTBALL LADS
Detroit you can keep him
Tarik “William Franklin” Skubal
Skubal is a modern day Benedict Arnold.
British redcoat are back to retake America
THAT’S GOOD EAT’N
Oi you got a license for that bomb, mate?
Having Skubal at only 55 pitches sucks, and this being one of them really sucks. If we lose to Great Britain, it’s no longer our national pastime
Skubaly Deep Toilet
I know. Im going to hell.Â
You love to see it
Wtf channel is this shit on? PR rain delay went to vez game
Fox
Thank you
Marcelino, a classic English name
“Ihren Ausweis, bitte”
-Americans after a leadoff home run
Me and my British mom rn
Skubal gonna go the entire season not throwing a fastball down the middle to lead off a game.
Making good use of those 55 pitches there lmao
Lmao.
Close enough, welcome back to the Red Sox Rob Refsnyder!
send me back to the colonies
Haha the WBC is so fucking awesomeÂ
Jolly good hit innit
is this tradition now?
Biggest early blast since Bunker Hill
This is the worst thing since the stamp act
Chesterfield, Va legend!
What’s the rules of war? We have to be fired upon first before firing back?
NATE IS EATON
50 pitches and this is one of them lol
Whoah
stop the count guvnor
classic usa moment
Good thing he already won his arbitration
British take an early lead in the Battle of Tal’s Hill
Nice one Eaton
Worst Eaton-related disaster since my home burned down
I wonder if there are more than nine people in the UK interested in this tournament
He handpicked this game too
Can we give it up for the GB D?!!
Eaton was having an awesome Spring too. He might make that Sox roster.
that’s our Red Sox player
Wtf Skubal
Oh my god, the red coat celebration uniform is dirty. Please tell me Team USA is bringing out a blue coat and a powdered wig for theirs.
Maybe the most ‘fuck you’ HR celebration I’ve ever seen
I don’t follow baseball but I love these celebrations when they get a homerun. It’s great entertainment!
Man, Skubal just left that one right over the heart of the plate. Seeing Great Britain jump out to an early lead against Team USA like that is wild.
someone made a lot of money off that
First and only run. That did not end ell ;-)
Baseball > Rounders
That’s my 3rd,4th, or 5th utility infielder baby.
Why was this scored as an error to Skubal? I can’t find an explanation, and mlb.com just credits him and error.
Skubal is washed and this is why he’s only starting one game. Skenes would never do this to me
C’mon Epstein Empire, gotta turn this around, do it for Israel 🇮🇱
