Shohei literally cried when he won it. it's a pretty big deal, it will be lit if they use my idea. Kind of meh if it ends in spring training. 20 hours ago, Snopek said: Also, the players do seem to care about the WBC, so putting that in the middle of the season where they all need a bit of a mental and physical break would be terrible. Disagree, i think the summertime atmosphere, plus the fact they're all in midseason form, would rock the house. The 4 nations tourney was a success in NHL. I see nothing wrong with doing something similar in MLB. Having games of that magnitude in March cheapens it, IMO. But alas, MLB always does the wrong thing, so expect an anticlimactic WBC that is completely overshadowed by March Madness, then a boring asg no one cares about.

You came in here booing the home run derby, maybe grandstand somewhere else. sorry it hurts your feelings that WBC doesn’t interest me, nor do most of your ideas
