Cubs News: Owen Caissie has NSFW home run reaction, Kyle Schwarber homers in WBC

Having meaningful baseball to watch all day long is bliss, folks. Saturday's World Baseball Classic action had a little bit of everything. Seiya Suzuki popped two homers in the wee hours of the morning to start the day and Kyle Schwarber and Team USA closed it out with a commanding 9-1 win over Great Britain.

Team USA has an off day Sunday before returning to action with a matchup against Mexico Monday night, with reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Paul Skenes slated to take the ball.

World Baseball Classic loaded with former Cubs stealing the show

Owen Caissie has hilarious NSFW reaction to his second WBC homer

There were probably some mixed feelings when Cubs fans saw Owen Caissie connect on his second World Baseball Classic home run Saturday, landing squarely in a Canadian flag fans in the right-field bleachers were holding.

Given it's been mere months since the Cubs traded Caissie to Miami in exchange for Edward Cabrera, the jury is still out on the trade - but, regardless, it was a really cool moment that was capped with a reaction that quickly picked up steam on social media.

Caissie has a clear runway to everyday at-bats in Miami, something he didn't have in Chicago. How he fares in his first full MLB season will be a non-Cubs storyline fans will surely keep an eye on this year. Let's just hope he hits the skids whenever the Marlins battle the North Siders.

Kyle Schwarber hits an absolute tank in Team USA's blowout win

There was a bit of concern online when Great Britain's Nate Eaton took Tarik Skubal deep on the first pitch of the game - but a mid-game offensive outburst quickly put this game out of reach for the visitors, with Team USA cruising to a 9-1 win.

Current and former helped lead the way offensively. Alex Bregman added a hit, drew a walk and drove in two, Pete Crow-Armstrong scored a pair of runs and had a big knock and Brad Keller closed things out in the ninth, punching out a pair of hitters in a clean frame.

But the biggest moment came in the fifth, when Kyle Schwarber delivered a crushing blow for the Stars and Stripes - a go-ahead, 427-foot blast deep into the upper deck that brought 34,000+ at Daikin Park to their feet.

Being on the receiving end of a Schwarber home run is nothing new for Great Britain - he knocked them flat in the 2023 World Baseball Classic, as well. And, frankly, few pitchers are immune from his power stroke. The former Cubs' first-rounder popped a league-leading 56 homers last season, turning another impressive campaign into a new five-year, $150 million deal with the Phillies.
