November 29, 20169 yr Really though I love the WBC and Team USA definitely needs to start having better showings and it's nice to have the Marlins represented. I'm always concerned about Stanton getting hurt in things like this but in truth he can get hurt just the same in a regular spring training game. Happy for both of them especially because the WBC is getting to be more about players actually wanting to play than just playing out of obligation so I'm sure both are looking forward to this opportunity.

Injuries are a concern. I like that it makes them more game ready for the season. I want to be clear though that this is not done yet, both players are just leaning towards accepting the invites
November 29, 20169 yr I would love the WBC to real pick up momentum... with that said I think it definitely has picked up a lot of momentum over the years. The fans have bought in and the players are more and more serious about it. It's a wonderful thing for baseball and I think it's "not just an exhibition" anymore.
November 29, 20169 yr Author WBC is really annoying. Watching those games is headache. Turn your volume down
November 29, 20169 yr No one cares about it. Going to games in miami is a nightmare because all of the refs come out and don't know how to watch a game. It's like vuvuzela night but more organic, which makes it worse. The games are slow and boring. You can tell only the scrub players care because they see it as a way to get seen by scouts. The good players treat it like a skirmish. Just a bad experience all around. That's not true. The players are caring more and more. It took time for them to realize the opportunity it is. Let the refs come out and play their instruments and vuvuzuelas, it's about representing their countries and not about watching every pitch speed. The fans care enough as long as their countries are represented. It's supposed to be a fun atmosphere because it IS an exhibition but winning feels good because of the countries. Also you're basing this on what you experienced at Marlins Park. The rest of the world isn't the same. People do care especially the foreign countries.

The good players treat it like a skirmish. Just a bad experience all around. I don't get that feeling. I find the game atmosphere is full of energy. It's like a WS game. Great feeling.
December 1, 20169 yr I've been to a ws and ds game. Not even close. Going to a wbc game in Miami is like going to La Festival de la Calle Ocho [ATTACH]1230._xfImport[/ATTACH]
December 1, 20169 yr I've been to a ws and ds game. Not even close. Going to a wbc game in Miami is like going to La Festival de la Calle Ocho I've been to multiple WS, LDS, and LCS games along with the WBC. We'll have to agree to disagree.
December 1, 20169 yr Going to a wbc game in Miami is like going to La Festival de la Calle Ocho But even if it's that, I feel like that's ok and good for the game. Let people enjoy it as a party. It's like a mix between take the wbc seriously while still not taking it too serious. I enjoy it.
December 1, 20169 yr Try watching a baseball game with vuvuzelas, drums, maracas, tambourines, whistles, illegitimate children running around everywhere, and chongas with sharpie eyeliner fighting in the stands because who knows why. I guess that can be fun for some people, but not me. I can't watch baseball like that. I've been to several wbc games and I have seen exactly what you say so I can't fault you if you just don't like that atmosphere for yourself.
December 1, 20169 yr I want to go to a playoff game, I'm so jealous Don't worry if the Cubs can win the World Series than your beloved Mets will make the playoffs again someday.
December 1, 20169 yr Don't worry if the Cubs can win the World Series than your beloved Mets will make the playoffs again someday. Our beloved Marlins will make the playoffs again someday.
December 1, 20169 yr I guess we'll have to disagree...but dude...not even close. Come on..lol I feel it pretty damn good. And I enjoy it in my seats. And hey, there's nothing wrong with a little chonga every now and then. [emoji6]
December 1, 20169 yr I feel it pretty damn good. And I enjoy it in my seats. And hey, there's nothing wrong with a little chonga every now and then. Just make sure you wear a Condom.... :grin-min:
December 1, 20169 yr Literally saw a 55+ 200lb+ ref sitting on her 20something bfs lap at a wbc gaming getting finger banged. So yeah. He needs to use protection. You sure you weren't at a Cubs game?
December 5, 20169 yr Author I love how the haters here @squall and [uSER=5078]@pollyvonwog[/uSER] point out every scoop I get "wrong" and never notice all the ones I get right.
