That was good.

Man this automatic base runner rule sucks. Completely ruined an otherwise great game between Columbia and DR.

I get they kinda have no choice, can't be playing 15 innings in March. But if MLB ever adopted these rules it would be shit

I agree. For the purpose of the tournament it's fine, I guess. I mean, it's tolerable considering the circumstances.

But yeah, doing this in an actual MLB game would be a terrible idea and I hope the results sway the commissioner's office from moving forward with it.

What did we learn today?

Christian Yelich's mom looks younger than him.

Manfred will probably try to adopt it. I don't like him very much.

Manny Machado Pool C MVP
With Wellington Castillo and Adam Jones making big plays

Plus Schoop was playing good for the Netherlands

Learned this

Vidal nuno is on the Mexican team and with Chris Tilmsn being hurt he's in the running for a spot in the os rotation

This Mexico Venezuela game has been crazy

Mexico just hit a better with bases loaded to make it 11-9 Mexico in the 7th with 1 out

The Orioles are Slow

who cares

Was feeling baseball but now we're getting a foot of snow. Shit.

Fast forward to Dodgers Cubs plz

LMAO RIGHT NOW

From the excerpt:

An hour before the seventh game of the World Series, Rizzo stripped off all his clothes, cranked the theme from Rocky on the clubhouse stereo one more time, jumped on top of a coffee table and began quoting lines from the movie and throwing his best shadow-boxing punches. Pitcher Héctor Rondon, joining in on the hijinks, picked up an aerosol can of shoe cleaner and sprayed it in the direction of Rizzo's groin.

Startled and angered, Rizzo stopped and yelled, "What the heck, man!" He cut the music and stormed off toward the showers to clean off the spray.

"I'm thinking, Dang, what's he doing?" Ross said. "We can't have this negative vibe right before the game. I go by there. I can tell he's a little irritated."

Ten minutes went by. Rizzo finally emerged from the shower. He walked back silently to his locker with a towel around this waist. The room was quiet and uneasy.

Ross walked up to Rizzo and broke the silence.

"Hey! It's not how many times you get knocked down … it's how many times you get up!"

Rizzo chuckled. "You know what?" he said. "You're right!"

Said Ross, "He rips the towel off, runs up, turns the music on again, and he jumps back on the coffee table and starts doing the Rocky motions again."

Now, as Schwarber got ready to hit, Ross turned in Rizzo's direction and yelled at him, "Hey, it's not how many times you get knocked down…."

On cue Rizzo completed the battle cry, yelling back, "It's how many times you get back up!"

Eventually, Rizzo would find clothing for the rest of his speech, but he set the tone for the Cubs' historic night.

It's just another reminder that baseball clubhouses are, uh, unique.

WBC is wonderful. Baez celebrating before he even makes the tags. Love it.

Mexico is currently upset at both the MLB and WBC in regards to tiebreaker rules for the WBC.

Asked several times what was needed to advance on tiebreakers prior to their last group stage game and got no responses back.

First found out what was needed by announcers from the tv broadcast during the game. Then found out after the game, the announcers were wrong and WBC's Twitter account said an elimination game was needed instead.

Then found out afterwards WBC's Twitter account was wrong and they were already eliminated since the WBC rules committee used a different tiebreaker instead.

lol fuck the wbc. What a disaster.

Adam Jones saves the day again

The WBC has been great this year.

Also Adrian Gonzalez has already said he's boycotting the 2021 WBC over these rules. What a baby.

Like he'll even be playing baseball at 40....

Gonzalez is a known cry baby. He comes off as a spoiled brat. He will prob be toast by the time the next WBC rolls around.

I dunno. Ryan Dempster just started for Canada this year.

The Orioles were getting no hit in the 9th..came back with a single and hr to tie the Phillies.

Good thing those games don't matter

Being no hit would have been horrible

Except it wouldn't have been. Because it's spring training, where games don't matter and guys wearing number 97 are getting multiple at bats. Nobody would've cared. Unless they're dumb. Dumb people would care.

Yeah this reaffirms how retarded Droford is.

Orioles well on their way to grapefruit world series.

Don't make fun of the games Tim Tebow plays in.

I want someone who wears number 97 to become a HOF guy.

65 is the highest a player in the HOF (Bill McKechnie) wore

Adam Jones is the new Captain America

Tigers got no-hit by the Yankees hollaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Who cares lets start the fucking season already!

Miggy Cabrera out for WBC with back strain. Should be ok for opening day.

Speaking of leagues that don't really matter. PM me your yahoo email to get invited to the TPWW Fantasy Baseball League!

April 2 is the draft date before RassleMania.

Netherlands is gonna win the WBC. I think that might be a great thing for baseball in general.

Adam Jones American Hero(although whyd he have to rob Manny Machado?)

Bonus points for manny basically hitting a HR off a Yankee though..they won't have Jonesy to save them in the regular season

He robbed Machado because Machado will be a Yankee this season.
