    I’ve felt your pain as an Orioles fan in here too often to refer to you as a casual.

    Huge respect for Japan. Love how passionate they are. Need some of our pitchers to buy in like the hitters have. I understand older guys with injury issues not being able to play or young guys that haven't been paid, but Cole and/or Wheeler could have been the difference.

    The early morning pool play games are some of the first baseball games my 1 year old actually kind of watched. He's obsessed with ball and I'll always remember this wbc for that.

    As much as a I love baseball, besides the CWS and late playoff pushes, no atmosphere will rival that.

    He’s got a weird gait though.

    Probably because of his giant balls

    The freak outs from people that spring who were begging for him to be a bust became hilarious once the season started and he raked from the jump.

    No doubt. Pitched 2 innings and gave up a run. Just glad to see him out there pitching and fielding ground balls from the mound without issue. As long as there are no setbacks, he should get a start for Atlanta maybe before the all star break? Maybe sooner? There isn’t a timetable, at this point

    "• Bat boys and girls: Bat boys and girls are to meet with the visiting team before each series to discuss equipment preferences and MLB will monitor “the performance” of bat boys and girls throughout the season. The league might ask for a bat boy or girl to be replaced if they’re contributing to game delays."

    Can't wait for CB Bucknor to throw out a bat boy for delaying the game.

    If the PTI guys are anything to go by, the loss in the WBC final is going to be just like the basketball at the 1992 Olympic Games. The players who held off playing will sign up next time around.

    Not even remotely similar. I also say that as a person who could absolutely care less if the US advanced from group stages.

    Too cut and dried imo. Two totally different demographics in a very diverse country.

    I would say on average that basketball probably has more fans, but the people who follow baseball follow it more closely.

    Okay. I guess the real question would be the passion level. If a loss at the 1992 Olympics for the basketball team caused people to sign up, what does the WBC loss cause? The same thing? Or aren't baseball fans as passionate as basketball fans from a patriotic view? This is what I don't know not being American. I see it from a distance.
