Ha ha ha. I was in a hurry. It's pretty awful though.

How is this any different that Spring Training? The pitchers are truly the only concern, since they may pitch longer than they are ready for this time of the year. The other players would be playing ST games anyway.

That's b/c teams and fans are selfish. We don't give 2 f-cks about the DR or Cuban national teams...so of course we'd prefer our players from those countries skip it. Though, I don't recall reading too many posts that showed a desire for Tucker or Pressly to skip it.W said:yes, and the fact that the teams and fans are happy when their players skip the WBC...tjack16 said:

I like the other leak better…
I'm going to listen to an all-time great like Mike Trout who says WBC is good for baseball, instead of a washed-up, mentally unstable boomer that's trying to stay relevant and throws tantrums over everything.W said:

Any of those celebrations have been an accident waiting to happen. He could have done it on the first game of the season celebrating a walk off bunt.W said:Diaz would not have been celebrating like that after a spring training winn_touch said:

I understand, but from the players perspective it is different. They want to play for their home country team out of pride and if something happens, they are getting paid anyway.
Just start putting language in contracts protecting the club from non club activities. I know it is easier said than done, but if everyday person got hurt away from work they don't get paid for work they don't perform moving forward.
Insurance policy for WBC participation paid for by players?
I m glad they are playing in WBC but employers should be protected.

In his first game back from the WBC, Jeremy Peña has singled and homered.
— Chandler Rome (@Chandler_Rome) March 17, 2023
"Jeremy Pena has homered". Gonna be said 30+ times this year.
Jake Meyers is 2-for-2 today with two well-struck singles. He is 7-for-23 (.304) this spring with two walks and six strikeouts.
— Chandler Rome (@Chandler_Rome) March 17, 2023
Pretty safe to say he will make the 26 man roster
After coming out of the blocks a little slow this spring, Hunter Brown is mowing them down (that rhymes btw). Last two starts:
7 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 7 K
7 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 7 K
GG Pena
Peña
His first swing that AB. Just looked so easy.

Hunter Brown threw 44 of his 66 pitches for strikes today in four innings of one-run ball against the Nationals. He struck out four, surrendered three hits and did not walk a batter.

How could you not mention his greatest distinction? The Astros literally traded him to LA for a pitcher named Scrubb.Quote:
Wagner's leaving set up for the jersey to be worn by the greatest of all Astros, Tyler White, who donned it from 2016-2019 after the Jersey had been expanded from medium to 4XL. The pride of Forest City, North Carolina, he was a 33rd round draft pick by the Astros in 2013. In his first six games as an Astro, he hit .556 with a 1.167 slugging percentage, prompting Peter Gammons to declare, "There goes Tyler White, the best who ever lived."

The Nationals' Darren Baker hit a game-tying grand slam in the 9th inning against the Houston Astros 😳

Space Cowboys melted down in the 9th today.
I'm guessing the pitcher didn't want to throw up and in to him.

All can be forgiven tomorrow, my childhood baseball, Idol should be coming up!
We are edging ever closer to everyone's number 1 favorite. A certain marginal catcher with a penchant for being an egotistical jackwagon manager whose sourpuss face is now well known.
Fun pitching matchup tomorrow night in West Palm Beach: Max Scherzer vs. Framber Valdez.

Good thing he and Gavin Lux weren't playing in the WBC.
Seriously though, sucks so bad for the Mets.

Brandon needs to learn how to slide. Or bail out and run out of the base path.

This was 100% Sparks' fault. Right before he hit the slam Sparky says, "the one knock on Baker is that he doesn't have very much power"… and then went on to g
list the stats for how few homers Baker had across the minors.
Rookie mistake. Even the radio guys are still working the kinks out in spring training.
