After the season.

 

The full season retirement tour is kind of annoying. The Chipper Jones victory tour became pretty self-serving.

It will be interesting to see some of the names that leave the game in light of improved (blood) testing and the uncovering of (more) witch doctors such as the one in Miami.

The Marlins are offering buy one get one free tickets for opening day. LMAO.

Rawlings to develop a defensive metric called "SDI" to shoot down incoming Russian ICBM's include in the calculus for their awarding of gold gloves.

After a career that he has had, I think it's deserving. As it would be for Mariano.

That is pretty awesome.

The entire Yankees team and front office all showed up for Mo's retirement presser. Very cool.

He said he wants to win one more ring. Do the Yankees have a trade lined up?

Has anyone been following the WBC?

Not really, but I just saw Canada and Mexico get into a huge bench-clearing brawl.

 

GM's cringing all over baseball.

 

I understand why they want to make the game more international, but for the American fan, I don't see the appeal.

Typical Mexico losing their composure when losing a game. Seen it countless times in international soccer matches.

I don't have a way to watch it...

Mexicans fighting Canadians? Seems like a good reason for Americans to watch. I'll have to catch some highlights.

Compared to the first year they did this, the quality of play they're getting from the non-incredible teams is impressive.

 

Whether we pay attention or not, it seems like the WBC is seriously helping improve international baseball and probably interest in baseball internationally as well.

33% of Japanese households watched their last game. All other countries follow it as well but the babying of pitchers in the USA will keep it from actually being cool.

Kind of true, but look at the Italy roster. Most aren't Italians, but Americans with Italian descent.

 

The brawl is the biggest attention the WBC is going to draw.

Only one player on the Spanish roster was actually born in Spain.
