"Can the US stick it to Canada twice today? We'll find out! First pitch at 1:05 PM."
"You bet! NESN is three-for-three so far in the spring. Give it up for cable television, ladies and gentlemen."
"As Alex Cora himself said, this is pretty close to a regular season lineup. I didn't expect to see a lineup quite like this so soon, but the WBC is speeding things up a bit this spring, so let's go ahead and pretend this is a real game for the first few innings."
First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 PM. The U.S. could beat Canada twice today in a back-to-back matchup. NESN has provided strong spring coverage, going three-for-three in broadcasts, which supports cable television's continued relevance. The lineup closely matches a regular-season roster, accelerating due to the World Baseball Classic's condensed schedule. The unexpected early presentation of such a lineup makes the opening innings feel like a regular-season game. Fans and broadcasters are treating the contest as competitive and meaningful despite its spring timing. The WBC format is compressing preparation timelines and elevating early-season intensity.
