@@ThatSockmonkey Overkill. The every 3-4 year format is perfect and expanding the teams to 32 (similar to how FIFA use to do) would help grow the game. The game of baseball has been popular for a long time in Latin America & East Asia. But more-so we're starting to see a number of African countries take interest in it now too. Imagine a month long international tournament where the best players and athletes around the world HAD to play because it was only once every 4 years.

Ohtani and Darvish will likely not pitch in the U.S. round of the WBC due to MLB games. Therefore, they gave their all in the Japan round. It is difficult to hit such world-class pitchers pitching with full effort. And moreover, on the opponent's home ground. Even so, Italy hit a number of hits, scored, and fought well.
@RLBsciart Жыл бұрын
This entire tournament has been a showcase of just why Ohtani is the best player in the world. The man has thrown 102, hit a home run, bunt single, shown his speed power on both sides of the ball. Absolutely ridiculous
