I missed it, way past my bedtime. Plus I wouldn't watch in protest anyway. Baseball is America's Sport!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

at least it used to be. :(

hahah I hear you. It seems like everyone from the MLB is playing for another team now. I am a Mariner fan, and the M's had 16 players on the WBC rosters, playing for Australia, Canada, Chinese Taipei, Dominican Republic, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Panama, South Africa, and Venezuela, but NONE playing for the U.S. it is kind of sad seeing that this is supposed to be Americas sport, yet we are the underdog every time the WBC is on. Whatever. They all come here to play, and it is a different story when the regular season starts. :)

Can't believe Korea pitched to Ichiro with 2 out and first base open.

Reminded me of Tommy Lasorda pitching to Jack Clark. :( *sigh*

Yeah, they went off stats, Ichiro has been pretty cold during the classic, hiting .273.. but you can't pitch to him in a clutch RBI situation with first base open. He is at LEAST going to get the ball in play, so why risk it.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
