That organist playing "Blister in the Sun" makes me feel really fucking old but oddly enough it makes great ballpark music.

Mexican Tom Holland just mowing us down

Mexican Tom Holland just mowing us down

I am still eagerly looking for this year's career minor leaguer who plays out of his mind for a week and I draft him in the 4th round of my fantasy draft and he goes on to post a 7.5 BB/9 in AAA before hurting his arm in June.

Aussie Aussie Aussie oi oi oi.

Good.  Take it serious or stay home. 

Reminder that the Rockies will be paying Bard $17M over the next two years.

Take a look at the starting pitching for Team USA.

Is there ANYONE you would put on the Astros?

Our starting pitching is shit.

The sausagefest behind the plate needs to move along to their next activity.

I hate those field suites 

I figured we might be kind of fucked when we only scored 6 runs against the Poms and then Canada lit ‘em up for 18 runs.

We should start treating all international sporting events like military selective service.  If the country calls on you to participate, you suit up or you go to jail.

Or if we want to be half ass pussy about it, you can go to jail for a year or give up your full salary that year.  Up to you.

Muhammad Ali went to jail for his beliefs, let's see how many starting pitchers truly believe in having four months rest vs. three months.

China down 18-2 in the 4th to Korea

The USA is in real trouble to advance. Even though it’s only 1 loss, the 11 runs they gave up will really hurt if it comes down to a tiebreaker. Here are the rules:

Head-to-head record

Lowest quotient of runs allowed divided by the number of defensive outs recorded in the games between the tied teams

Lowest quotient of earned runs allowed divided by the number of defensive outs recorded in the games between the tied teams

Highest batting average in games between the tied teams

Drawing of lots

A Mike Trout led team can’t even do well in an international  tourney where they massively out-talent almost every other team at every position. Dude has losing in his DNA.

He's never won shit ever. Yet this guy gets excuse after excuse as to why he never wins. He has it made in LA. Never wins, no real expectations to win from the fans or the front office. They will put the blame on anyone except him.

I get why teams dont wanna let starting pitchers partake (only applies to Americans tho) but they cant find 12-15 relief pitchers that can throw gas for an inning apiece?

The difference between energy in the American crowds and the international ones really drives home the complete marketing failure of MLB's dying regional system. Trout and Betts and Arenado should be on every fucking McDonalds bag in this country (instead of Cardi B and Offset). People barely know this is happening

It’s spring training prep but the games mean something. MLB teams should want their players here, playing for something

Dumb takes. Trout is at the top off league in production every year. He has a WAR of 82 in his 11 full seasons. What more do you expect him to do? Baseball isn’t like the NBA where a player can make others around him better. He’s not responsible for poor ownership and front office decisions.

I loved seeing Beltran and Correa getting high-leverage, meaningful experience together in the 2017 WBC.

It's not his fault but the fact of the matter is he doesn't have any recent playoff experience. This is just a different kind of pressure than the regular season. 

I think there's a good chance we lose to Canada tonight and are essentially eliminated. This just isn't that good of a USA team in spite of the big names.

Because he was The Captain? Which, BTW, is the MLB equivalent of aggy’s 12th Man. Did you know that Trout has 11 more WAR than Jeter in half of the plate appearances? What a chump.

The dude who fucked over his pitchers by insisting that he play SS even though they had a better SS playing 3rd?

I mean more that he brought the best out of his teammates through his leadership, work ethic, and drive to win. Trout doesn’t do that.

George Steinbrenner brought out the best in the Yankees by signing a near AllStar level player to every single position

Tell me you don’t know anything about the late 90s Yankees dynasty roster construction without telling me

1998 team , 7 of the 25 man roster were either drafted or international signing. Without doing alot of checking think I'm fairly close on that number.
Posada
Pettite
Jeter
Rivera
Williams
Irabu
Hernandez

Rest were not originally drafted by nyy.

If the Astros can let several ‘A’ arms go pitch in the WBC, other teams can do the same !!!

Im fine with sOme restrictions, but the wbc rules in place are very helpful too

You're insulting the rest of the great players on that Yankee dynasty by claiming Jeter's presence "made them better players" go tell that to Paul O'Neill

The Limeys beating the Escobars really helps the U.S. cause. Now they control their own destiny to advance.

Team USA is probably done even if they win their next two games. God job, good effort boys. 

Thanks to our friends in England, we now control our own destiny!

So Marlins Man brought an escort to the game?

I remember years ago at the peak of his schtick he would have multiple escorts with him at Marlins games.
