>USA needs help just to advance out of the groupembarrassing, especially if it ends up being Mexico's help
Medigans lost
dodgers
>Mike Trout would have been a better captain than fudge What went wrong?
>>153817675Ok but thats not what i asked, im asking if theres any rules against throwing the match to fuck the US over which theres a high chance of happening tomorrow, im pretty sure that theres rules against this in the World Cup
>>153817659gabagool for everyone
>>153817717I suppose it might fall under a gambling purview but given that the Yankees sandbagged against the Rays in G162 15 years ago to keep the Red Sox out of the playoffs I highly doubt MLB would invoke any punishment
having italian ancestry lessens the pain a bit
Why is everyone saying that Mexico's allowed only five runs? They've allowed seven runs.
>>153817763its common runs against common opponents divided by number of defensive outs.
>>153817763here ya go fren
>>153817763For tiebreaker scenario, it's only the cumulative RA/defensive innings for the tied teams
very real chance mexico and italy throw the game tomorrow to both advance. WBC needs to go off run differential. pathetic that they do this common runs shit. wtf does that stat even mean??
>we now have to root for the team that just beat usclassic mossad humiliation ritual
>>153817773>>153817776Hell I respect ya RC
will you guys continue to watch the wbc if you get sent home packing tomorrow?will the stadiums be empty?
>americans threw to americans to eliminate mexicansbased
>>153817776>>153817773this looks like the US have a really good chance of advancing but the reality is mexico winning by a couple runs in a low scoring game is the most probable scenario
>>153817773>>153817776Yea I ain’t readin allat just send usa home cause they don’t wanna be there and Israel is already eliminated
>>153817787Blame DeRosa for being a dipshit and wasting 6 innings with a bum lineup
>>153817799theres enough bugs n beans to fill the stadiums the rest of the way
>>153817774>>153817776>>153817784how do seven runs become five "cumulative/common runs against common opponents" in a round robin where every team plays every other team?
>>153817694mets are a burrito rican and jewish team, not italian
>>153817678My cope is he was mostly able to hobble jog into the base and walk off under his own power not looking too bad doing it. We've all seen those really bad leg injuries where the guy goes down instantly. Of course its the White Sox so its going to hamper him all year cause we (as fans) are never allowed to have nice things.

>>153817808He’s right you know
>>153817800>san marinoV G HGH
do cubsfags paint their nails like bearsfags?
>>153817799Our team is a bunch of soulless mercenaries, unlike the 2023 squad. Wouldn't mind if they got eliminated tomorrow
>>153817810Common opponents being the teams IN THE TIEBREAKER. Games against GB and Brazil aren't considered
NHL>tiebreaker? simple! point differentialNFL>tiebreaker? simple! point differentialNBA:>tiebreaker? simple! point differential Soccer>tiebreaker? simple! goal differentialMLB:>ITS REALLY SIMPLE ACTUALLY, YOU TAKE THE COMMON RUNS SCORED AGAINST THE COMMON OPPONENTS, RIGHT?

>>153817803Tiebreaker scenario if Mexico beats Italy tomorrow:MEX/US advance:Mexico scores 5+ runs.MEX/ITA advance:Mexico scores 4 runs of less. US/ITA advance:Italy win vs Mexico
>>153817827this isn't MLB though, it's an irrelevant exhibition tournament
>i didn't watch the game because I thought USA secured advancing after beating mexico
>>153817847t. mark derosa
>we cared so little we only sent the two reigning cy youngs, an mvp, and half the all star teamhow do we cope our way out of this one bros.
>>153817847Thank you for joining us Coach
>>153817827why is baseball like this? most other sports dont have the autistically complicated stats that it does like fWAR or WOBA or WRC+BABIP
>>153817824why don't they say "tiebreaker opponents" then? "Common opponents" implies the exact opposite of that meaning: all of the teams that the tiebreaker teams played in common, including GB and Brazil.
Pete Alonso should have been the captain of team USA but y’all ain’t ready to have that conversation
to be fair, .750 is an ELITE win rate

It's actually good if USA gets bounced in the group stage. We need the guys to be hungry for the Olympics.
>>153817888>eyebrowsfuck, somebody check on Eugene Levy and make sure he's okay
>>153817885yes which is inherently stupid in a tournament where every game is an away game other than team japan at the tokyo dome.
>>153817827why do they need to throw in the shit about defensive outs? literally why does that matter
It’s funny that all American clouds in the stadium and posters here will go all-out to root for team Italy and wish for Mexico’s loss tomorrow.
>>153817895>It's actually good if USA gets bounced in the group stage. We need the guys to be hungry for the Olympics.
How did we lose to Italy of all countries??????
>>153817921Would much rather see Italy/Mexico in quarters than US
How many on the Italian roster are actual Italians (uncircumcised)?
>>153817932because they're 90% american
Damn, Maybe Americans aren't that amazing at baseball. At least we still have basketball.
Isn't Italy screwed tomorrow against Mexico since they lost their best player?
>>153817888on the phone now Brian Kenny, lets hear what he has to say>NHL>tiebreaker? simple! point differential>NFL>tiebreaker? simple! point differential>NBA>tiebreaker? simple! point differential>Soccer>tiebreaker? simple! goal differential>MLB tiebreaker>ITS REALLY SIMPLE ACTUALLY>YOU TAKE THE COMMON RUNS SCORED AGAINST THE COMMON OPPONENTS, RIGHT?>THEN ALL YOU DO IS DIVIDE IT BY THE NUMBER OF DEFENSIVE OUTS MADE>WHICH - BE CAREFUL - CAN BE 27 OR 24 OUTS DEPENDING ON HOME OR AWAY TEAMS PER GAME>AND IF THE GAME GOES TO THE BOTTOM OF THE NINTH>THEN YOU JUST SIMPLY COMPARE THOSE>AND THEN DIVIDE BY PITCHING OUTS AS NEEDED IF THERES A SECOND TIEBREAKER
Baseball is a stupid fucking sport. It should be played one game a week, and teams should really only have one main pitcher, like quarterbacks in football. These 4th string shitters always ruin it.
we're rooting for korea and dr if usa gets eliminated
>>153817944Isnt most of the NBA MVPs from europe
>>153817932Because Harper and Chudge banned fun and good vibes
>>153817947it's one game anything can happen
So the U.S. cannot finish #1 in their group no matter what now, right?
>>153817947DESU if there's any blatant fixing it'll be Italy and Mexico running out their B lineups. It beehoves them both to keep the score low
>>153817956hows israel doing? i love an underdog
>>153817921private paco fuming
>>153817969correct
>>153817941
>>153817969If Mexico wins in a close but high-scoring game, US would win pool
>>153817966Japan doesn't have fun and they're going to win it all. Don't fall for Domincan propaganda.
>>153817827>>153817856>>153817864>>153817913Unfortunately score differential doesn't work with mercy rules in play.They don't want the stronger teams running up the score on weaker opponents.
that 9th inning home run was pretty big. 4-3 feels a lot more unlikely than 5-4.>>153817947D'Orazio was shit in the game vs GB, allowed a bunch of wild pitches that weren't really that wild. Pasquantino needs to wake up, he literally doesn't have a hit yet.
>>153817969USA advances if:1. Italy beats Mexico2. Italy scores 7 runs3. Mexico scores 5 runsTo win the pool, both 2 and 3 would have to happen in a Mexico win
I am a patriot (3 time Trump voter), but USA getting eliminated probably helps grow the game
gn
>>153817988They definitely have fun man, wdym? I’ve been waking up before sunrise to watch them
>>153818009same
Who is starting for MEX tmrw? Have they announced it
>>153818009No it doesn't. USA gets bounced in group play -> no good American ever plays in the WBC again -> American ratings plummet -> MLB and American sponsors stop subsidizing the WBC -> WBC dies
I have never voted for a president in my life (5 elections)
>>153817969
Anyone else still bummed kpopshit got in instead of based Taiwan or even memey straya? That final score was too perfect. I mean what were the odds?Think we'll see something like that again tomorrow?
>The top five hitters in Italy's lineup went 0 for 22kek lmao
>Pitchers too scared to fully commit >Terrible countries that don't care about the sport are participating>Italy is 90% American-born players>Korea has a black guy playing for them>Mercy rules This is the most retarded tournament I have ever seen
>>153818031Assad IIRC
>>153818032you're wrong, the only reason this team is better than the last WBC (on paper albeit) is BECAUSE we lost to Japan.
this stupid retard country does not deserve to win this stupid retard country does not deserve anything
>>153818048I’m just guessing bc I don’t watch grassdive butnim sure 75% of all the euro teams are black
>>153818046I was 100% pulling for Straya, I was incredibly let down. The ABL has helped pull me out of that shitty winter feeling you sometimes get
>>153818048Haven't seen the world cup and the """""""""french""""""""" team?
>>153818066based
>>153818009The former doesn’t equate with the latter.
Americans be like “wtf is a quotient?”.Stay in school kids. Learn your math because this is why China is winning.>>153818046Taiwan isn’t even a real country and kpop is based.
>>153818069have you read the french constitution?
>>153818046I was rooting for Korea but that pool was top-to-bottom soul
>>153818046>I mean what were the odds?Pretty high considering Korea themselves manipulated the gameThey knew they needed more than 5 runs and less than 9 so once they hit that sweet spot they stopped battingLook at their final AB in the 9th inning. The batter doesn't even swing
Why do I get the feeling Mexico is gonna somehow upset Italy tomorrow?
>>153818046yeah I was really hoping for Taiwan
>>153818080mexico is the favorite though
>>153818080Italy is without Kyle Teel that's why
>>153817954Retard
>>153818079Wake what the fuck? Is that allowed?
I've really turned on Harper. Judge I just feel bad for, he clearly can't handle the big moments
>>153818079I’m looking at the chart but why would Korea need less than 9 runs? How would that hurt them assuming Australia’s score didn’t change?
>>153818042>must win but score less than 5 points and have italy score less than 4 points to eliminate USwill mexico be able to thread the needle like korea?
>>153818107>points
>>153818096Clearly lol it's your scoring opportunity why wouldn't you be able to throw it away
>>153818079qrd?
>>153818107It can happen but they definitely wouldn't try to do that, the baseball gods are real. it's why the US lost tonight
>>153818111>>153818116sorry, blerns i mean
>>153818123This nigga scoring blerns
>>153818079>The batter doesn't even swingButthurt china taipei conspiracy theory
>>153817992mercy rules too complicated forthe retards. baseball wasn't meant to be played in so few games with such differences in talent.
>>153817827This is why it's the one based sport
>>153818049if that’s true the US are cooked. Assad is a BEAST
>>153818130three fastballs down the middle, certainly seems intentional, but more likely [to me] that he was trying to get the pitcher back out asap so he doesn't get cold rather than just trying to fuck over TaiwanAlso possible that they/he thought that scoring more would take the pressure off of the Australian bats, and perhaps even give them an additional chip on their shoulder to at least take Korea down with them.
I don't care anymore. This is a glorified exhibition tournament. This tournament simply cannot be taken seriously if it has mercy rules. What is this, little league?
>>153818046>taiwan over ausgodsyou think you want this but you dont
I think it's gonna be Javier Assad vs Aaron Nola
I think this game is going to be on "Tubi" tomorrow. What le fuq? is that fee?
The one advantage of pool play IMO is the pitch limit. Can give a leg up on the high-K guys. I know it's for buildup purposes but a really good secondary effect
>>153818042You think the players and coaches are committing this chart to memory so they know exactly how many runs to score/give up to troll the US into elimination?
how many times was the mercy rule employed so far this tourney anyway?at least twice right?
>>153818154It needs mercy rules because there's no time or even inning limitWho wants to watch a game where say like the DR puts up 75 runs and counting on say like Brazil or some shit in the 5th inning?
For me it’s the backdoor slider
crazy to think we havent even had a kino DR game yet
>>153818159it's gonna be low scoring as fuark. Assad and Nola are killers. Nola is going to turn back the clock and turn in a stellar performance I think we're done for bros.
>>153818079thats wrong, they only needed to prevent australia from scoring 3 or more runs.
>>153818042what is stopping italy and Mexico from just shaking hands after either team scores their first run, securing their playoff berths?
>>153818175Stuff this cunt
>>153818164I don't think they'll intentionally collude, but perhaps there will be a lack of urgency if Mexico gets out to an early lead, "this score gets us through" will be in the back of everyone's mind. Too risky for either team to hope that a lack of urgency would stop the other team from scoring though, so they'll still be trying, just subconsciously a little less hard maybe. >>1538181674
>>153818195Probably all the angry Americans in the stadium
>>153818183Venezuela DR tomorrow is going to be pure unfiltered mega comfy kino. A complete 180 from the slop we saw tonight
>>153818195>either teammexico needs to win a low scoring game for both to advancebut italy should try to win so they get an easier opponent by winning the group plus they're all americans anyway I dont see why theyd want to fuck their own country over like that, theyd get slaughtered in the press if it was clear they threw
Imma gonna winna daballgame
Sooo.In the long term it would be definitely in the interest of both Italy & Mexico that team USA gets grouped so they don't have to face them again. Thing is, since team Italy is made up of like 90% of Americans. Will they try to give their countrymen a hand or will the team come first? They would also be playing with fire if they try to lose un purpose. Just one flyball hit too far with bases loaded and they would be the ones packing their bags.Think it's a lot easier to just try to win but they're also pretty depleted from today's game.Holy shit tomorrow is gonna be fun.
I keep focusing on Pool B. PR is through and wins pool with Cuba win or takes 2nd with Canada win
So Derosa has to be fired after this, correct?
Damn I only just now saw the highlights, USA not only lost but they spilled spaghetti all over the field. Italians couldn’t let them get away with that.
should be three good games tomorrow
>>153817932None of those soulless millionaire faggots prepare for this thing. They just roll in rusty as fuck with maybe 2 games of spring training under their belt. The Latin players all play winter ball and Japan starts their spring training a month earlier. The US players don't do shit but show up and wing it.
I'm really supposed to believe that this guy "didn't know" that USA didn't advance already? He's a fucking traitor.
>>153818268Based inside agent

>>153818470cringeUSA=FAG NATION
it's crazy no one pulled DeRosa aside to query his calculations before the game too
>>153818345OHHHHHHHHHHHHH
miguel rojas saved ohtanis legacy
>>153818470
Okay so we will have to beat Venezuela, the US and DR to win the championship.
>>153818497I don't think a single person in the clubhouse, player or manager, knew the tiebreaking procedures. This collection of players are incredibly arrogant. Maybe they don't give as much of a shit as the rest of the nations, but that in itself is incredibly arrogant. Don't fuckin show up if it doesn't mean anything to you
>>153818558
did judge give an interview after the game?
>>153818558Oh I forgot to turn off the VPN.I just noticed that all the WBC highlights on YouTube were not available in my country other than those of Netflix Japan so I had to use VPN.Fuck Netflix. I will definitely unsubscribe after this tournament.

>>153818664They unquestionably care less than virtually every other team. Nicaragua cares more and they've never even won a game in tournament history
>>153818717tonight's was special in that the hardest category was the most guessed first correctly (I have a NYT games account so I get to see the data)but I digress...tonight's games should be some absolute bangers

Now with choking with runners on base, to a sub-90mph italiano, getting subbed by Goldschmidt AND losing to Italy, Bryce "muh olympics" Harper has yet acquired another L to his career, topped by the Nats winning the 2019 WS against Prime Houston Astros
>>153818774+Mexico vs Brazil 16-0
it would actually be very funny if Team USA gets eliminated in pools due to a weird tiebreaker rule after all the hype the team had coming into the tournament

>>153818749I've scienced my out of it. nothing to worry about, heh
Morning everyone. I hope you all have a great day.
>>153818042huh so US survives if Italy at any point has four runs
how do you lose to Italy
>>153817659>be medigans>lose once>call for the tournament to be dismantled kek!

How much do you think Judge will be affected if they get eliminated here?Meanwhile Ohtani and Okamoto will go on to win the whole thing and we'll see a repeat of Dodgers/Blue Jays?
who would winTHE AMERIKKKA BAYBOW DEATH MACHINE orluigi and buds
Look it was Mario Day yesterday the I-talians got a natural boost!
>>153818470yeah nah this was embarrassing coaching, horrible lineup construction and awful bullpen management
>Judge's legacy will be striking out to some rando italian on the red sox to eliminate the USA "superteam"
does aaron judge do anything
>>153819543the problem is there’s only one Ohtani and one Suzuki and one Okamoto but there’s a whole team full of DominicansSonny Corleone was a pretty tough guy but you can’t bare knuckle your way through a tommygun crossfire
I wonder what Stefi thinks of this Italian triump
Judge's legacy is comprised of:>hitting a "crucial" game tying home run in the postseason off of a pitcher who was actively betting against himself>dropping one of the biggest game losing plays in 2024's world series>striking out against Italy to end the hyped up superstar Team USA's WBC run drowning in pools
USA's lineup is like if you gave a 3 year old cheat codes and just let him pick the players he likes the most without actually understanding why he likes them
>>153819693he’s great at preventing his bat from getting scuffmarksafter half a dozen games that thing still looks brand new

"team" usa is not a team. between their hapless manager who doesnt know the rules, fraud captain fudge, and other bums like larper, they are completely doomed when trying to compete with teams full of soul who actually want it. i am unironically rooting for samurai mexico
Dont let the anti Judge crowd make you forget that Harper is the bigger clutch shitter on the team.
the usa is more of a hockey nation anyways
Team USA was all just swinging for the fences not taking anything seriously. They just all wanted that HR fame and that's why they failed
The problem with Team USA is that they don't seem to be gelling as a team. Take a look at Japan, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Venezuela. These teams play against each other all the time. They've got the Dominican winter league and the NPB where they all face off. They're constantly around each other, which makes them more comfortable and cohesive. Team USA, on the other hand, looks pretty down in the dumps. They all seem gloomy, like the Mets clubhouse last year.TLDR: no chemistry kek

>sorry randy, i cant fist bump you, this is too serious>*loses to italian plumbers*
>>153819835Them italian dudes kissing and spit roasting coffee last night was gay as fuck.
>>153819838So the rest of the team was also facing that?
bing has mexico at 71.8% of winningso realistically, the best chance for USA to move on is either italy scoring 4 runs (forcing mexico to score 5 to win) or italy making a SHOCKING upset back to back games and winninggrim. just fucking grim bros…we really are doomed…
>>153819802This only happens when the team is full of superstars. It happened back in the first wbc in 2006, the players get too complacent and treat it like spring training. The team plays well if it has mostly mid players that have the motivation to win like in 2023.
Team USA had a very close game last night, I wish you guys had won, but Italy played very well too. I hope the US can get to the next round.
>>153819886>mostly mid players that have the motivation to win like in 2023.did you forget we brought an Allstars team of bats that underperformed all the way to the finals in 2023?
USA LOST TO THE I HAVE AN ITALIAN GRANDMA TEAMHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Imagine having all your superstars get in the way of each other instead of working together. HAHAAHHAAHAH
>>153819925CANT WAKE UP
>>153819869I don’t have any ill will toward the USA team, I just find the idea of the USA getting eliminated at the pool stage to be hilariouslike the USA national baseball team full of MLB players getting sent to the same spectator bench as a bunch of Czech electricians and turnip farmers who play baseball in the sheep pasture on the weekends but only when the weather’s nice

>>153820046>Spring Training playoffs.That sounds absolutely ridiculous
They watch what you watch, like which scenes you replay the most. Then they use that info to make their own movies and rake in the cash. Netflix and Prime probably pay them so they can keep making millions while you chill on the couch.

>>153820105There used to be local and/or basic cable/satellite channels that carried MLB games. Rights were fragmented among regional distributors but it was easy enough to catch your local team on TV every so often. Then at some point it got relegated to sports channels and streaming options depending on in-market vs out of market stuff, at least where I live, so I didnt watch for a long while. Then it got simplified back to the mlb.tv individual team stream service though for TV it's still on the sports channels afaikAs for WBC it's gotten bigger in recent years so I couldn't even tell you what it was 20 years ago, where I didnt even know it existed. These days it's all on Fox Sports channels for TV and Fox One for streaming

>>153820383If a collusion like that was found out the tournament would probably never return. It's also pure faggotry.

Every time I read Judge I can't help but think about Mike Judge.Do you guys like King of the Hill?
>>153820972He’s the greatest hitter of this generation.
When it comes down to it, Team USA is just full of themselves. The players and managing decisions have shown that throughout the tournament. Skenes talking about how USA needs to assert dominance because we are America. Harper’s stare down. Cal’s refusal to shake hands. It’s all this toxic mentality of USA in wbc. Someone put that wbc is more of a collaboration between other countries than it is a competition. Which is very true. Other countries show more respect and have more fun, demonstrating what is the love of the game. USA on the other hand continues to show what I hate about baseball. Cockiness. Disrespect. Laziness. Entitlement. Immaturity
>>153820980Well, I used to...
>>153820659>>153820666>>153820685PCA hit two home runs, on the last one judge barely reacted, gave him a milk toast high five, then walked up to the plate and stuck out as the tying run. Kek.

Aaron Judge and Bryce Harper are in the Epstein files
>>153820985Cal didn't refuse though. Harper always looks like that.Certain Owners within MLB see this as a waste of time and resources with the potential downside of injuring one of their expensive star players. I'm convinced the US merch looks like dogshit because teams are scared it will cut into their sales.They've been trying to kill this since it's inception. Soccer has a similar issue with big club managers shitting on the Euros and World Cup.Mike Trout was the first one able to circumvent them to put a decent team together in 2023. Even this year we have Skubal bailing after 1 game.

>>153821207Besides the World Cup, FIFA also has regional tournaments that can impact placement in the World Cup. I recall Manchester United's coach Ferguson was vocally pissed about it one year. I know the African tournament usually is point of contention because it takes place during the Premier League season.As far as the owners opposing it, there was more an old school mentality that pervades the sport. They didn't see the use when we already have the World Series, jk kinda.I think its somewhat dissipating each time. Especially since along with the NFL and NBA, they are playing overseas games now and reaping the $$$ from merch.
>>153821068>Soccer has a similar issue with big club managers shitting on the Euros and World CupThis doesn't happen at all, everyone in soccer recognizes those tournaments as something special and important.
>>153821278McLean didn’t but Holmes went three scoreless in his appearance. He’s just being a yankuck cause judge embarrassed himself on the national stage again.

>Teel out for ItalyMexico confirmed win
>canada could reach the quarterfinals and not the usa I don’t feel so good
Skubal said he would have played the whole tournament if it was in the middle of the season like olympic hockey and NHL, but how would a WBC in the middle of the season even work? Obviously the MLB season would pause and that means they would have to start the season a week or two early to anticipate the WBC break. What about all the players that aren't participating? They aren't gonna like the 2 week long break and it could kill any momentum they had in the season.
>>153821337The ultimate olympic hockey revenge
>>153821337i feel so good :)
>>153821348Just do it in November. Duh

>>153821348Schedule double headers on Saturdays
>>153821306>European leagues have long-standing frustrations with the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) due to its timing, which forces clubs to release key players in the middle of the season. The tournament's intensity, high-profile scheduling clashes, and potential for injury often lead to pressure from clubs for players to skip the tournament.>Sir Alex Ferguson, who briefly managed Scotland at the 1986 World Cup, often held a critical view of international football, prioritizing Manchester United and expressing disdain for the quality of tournaments, notably labeling the 2010 World Cup "poor". He was famously reluctant to release players for international duty and criticized tournament officiating.
>>153821380>>153821374>americans
>>153821380>IT'S A HUGE DAY FOR COLLEGE FOOTBALLI hope the WBC committee doesn't listen to yokels like you
>>153821296Thanks for the qrd >I think its somewhat dissipating each time.I hope so. Maybe it's less interesting from a stats sperg point of view, but the WBC is really exciting, way moreso than regular season MLB games, and it adds more to it when the players for the national teams get hype about games, home runs, stuff like that.
>>153821383>European leagues have long-standing frustrations with the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) due to its timing, which forces clubs to release key players in the middle of the season.>the Ngubu meme is realfuggg
>>153821380If going up against college football is a problem, schedule it during September since it’s now going to be nothing but blowout shit games going forward.
>>153821383AFCON isn't the Euro or World Cup. Sir Alex cares more about horse racing than soccer.
>>153821420I think July would be the best option but then again what about the players that don't participate? That issue has to be resolved or the players union would never agree to a WBC in the middle of the season.
>>153821444Yeah, most coaches don't have the clout Ferguson had to oppose the World Cup/Euros, but inside they will be seething if one of their guys gets injured.
m a r i n e r sariners
>>153821426this is why the Asian Series/Club tournament has failed so hard. No one cared and teams kind of went through the motions in front of a couple of people and their dog. I went in Busan one time it was there and it was pretty pathetic. The players all wanted to be on holiday at that point. March for me is fine or have it in the middle of the season and the All Star game can fuck off.
>>153821465no matter when you have it there are always going to be players who opt out for personal reasons, injuries, or whatever.
>>153821348>They aren't gonna like a 2 week breakLmao the players would love that, it's the owners/advertisers/etc. who would hate missing out on maximizing their investment
>>153821497Baseball players are so spoiled lmfaoIf a player from my football team said he wanted a holiday instead of playing the world cup/copa america/libertadores they would probably kill him or blacklist him from ever participating on international games again
