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. |

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

LMAO RIGHT NOW
http://www.indystar.com/story/sports...me-7/99182242/ 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. You can read the entire excerpt here. |

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. http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/1...co-elimination |

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

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.
