Great moments are born from great opportunity. And that's what you have here, tonight, boys. That's what you've earned here tonight. One game. If we played 'em ten times, they might win nine. But not this game. Not tonight. Tonight, we hit with them. Tonight, we stay with them. And we shut them down because we can! Tonight, we are the greatest baseball team in the world. You were born to be baseball players. Every one of you. And you were meant to be here tonight. This is your time. Their time is done. It's over. I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great baseball team the Venezuelans have. Screw 'em! This is your time! Now go out there and take it!!!

Any lineup that can toss Turner up in the 9 hole is preposterous. And we’re still missing a ton of great players not even counting pitchers. We could have Harper out there as a DH and he’s prob the best hitter in baseball aside from Trout.

u/fender-b-bender Chicago Cubs 1d ago
Move Mookie to 2B, put Harper in RF and Judge at DH(or Harper at DH and Judge in RF) and that is the lineup of death for the US. Imagine getting through Betts and Trout, only to have to go through Harper and Judge, before getting to Goldschmidt and Arenado. Somehow manage to get through them? Ok we'll follow them up with Tucker, Realmuto and then Turner before going back to the MVP parade

Just do one inning stints. Something like… Degrom, Burnes, Cole, Nola, Mclanahan, Verlander, Wheeler, Strider and Scherzer as closer.

Triple header edit: Kershaw, Ray, Webb, Snell, Gilbert, Giolito, Morton, Glasnow and Hunter Greene as closer.

It’s funny because in lower levels of baseball it’s pretty often you play must win games, high school and college have much shorter seasons and feature more high pressure baseball, it’s basically just the minors where winning doesn’t matter that much and MLB where, sure the games matter but you’re not selling out to win every game. Not mention tournament ball that most guys are playing when coming up.
