Move the WBC to the all star break and add money incentives for the players.

Remove the Super Bowl Half-Time Show, insert WBC.

Eric Hosmer created aids

Shouldn't have passed over Howard. Your loss America. You choose cheaters like Braun over American heroes. Howard gives his all to the game. He ruptured his achilles and crawled down the first base line in an attempt to keep the Phillies playoff hopes alive. Howard is the hero Team USA needs right now!

 

[Fenix]

Always good to use the fresh reliever for an IBB.

 

[aFIGurANT]

Can we get cishek out of miami too maybes?

 

[Heart Attack]

Holy shit, they finally took Edgar out of the game.

 

[Windu]

the comeback begins

 

[Sanjuro]

Karim Garcia is as good as ever.

 

[The Frankman]

What do you mean, "shouldn't be here"?

It's not an All-Star team.

It should be at least the top-tier talent of the US. Even prime Victorino arguably shouldn't make it.

EDIT: Fernando Salas in the game? At least USA can get a run or two here.

 

[Sanjuro]

It should be at least the top-tier talent of the US. Even prime Victorino arguably shouldn't be here.

It's a tough sell.

"Hey, want to play in this meaningless baseball scrimmage when you're supposed to be preparing for your professional team?"

yap, you got it right.

Stanton looks fantastic with the Braves font/number style on the back of his uniform.

 

[Windu]

Bloop Bloop

 

[CygnusXS]

Stanton looks fantastic with the Braves font/number stuyle on the back of his uniform.

Can he play third?

 

[Windu]

Stanton looks fantastic with the Braves font/number style on the back of his uniform.

kidnap Stanton, put heyward in CF, J Upton in RF, Stanton in LF and B Upton at 3rd.

oh wtf. Warning track power.

 

[The Frankman]

oh wtf. Warning track power.

If this was summer in Arizona Stanton would have 2 homers by now.

 

[Fenix]

I've seen 4 head first 1B slides already in this pool.

 

[Dominican Power]

Goddamn USA.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Here comes A-Gon.

 

[Heart Attack]

Here we go. Don't fuck this up Romo.

 

[Carlbeego]

[HarryDemeanor]

Never saw that Bobby V commercial.

 

[bluemax]

America is losing?!? WHYYYYY

 

[Fenix]

Let's get mercy'd in the first inning of tomorrow's game vs Mexico, just to troll the US.

 

[cashman]

I wish America took baseball as serious as the Netherlands does.

 

[Windu]

Embarrassing.

 

[bluemax]

This is a national tragedy we have not seen the likes of in some time.

 

[rekameohs]

 

[Sealion88]

well it doesn't matter, America dont care anyway just an exhibition

anyway GO TAIWAN!!!! beat cuba pls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[cashman]

National.
Embarrassment.

 

[Regulus Tera]

¡Viva México!

 

[Mr. Enigma]

 

[Sanjuro]

They played really hard. It's tough to compete when we can't enlist minorities.

 

[CygnusXS]

Team Netherlands all the way.

 

[Malo]

Lol usa

 

[vas_a_morir]

lol.

I love how we always send out 30th best pitcher and below to the WBC.

Think about each position and ask yourself: Is the best we could send? Braun is about it, and without his juice, he's lookin' reeeaaaal loose.

 

[Sanjuro]

Surprised Adrian Fraudsalez didn't praise "God" for the victory.

 

[Windu]

Selig, move this to the middle of the year ya dumbass. Its obvious to anyone watching that the mlb players are not at their best.

 

[Heart Attack]

haters gonna hate n.n

 

[Regulus Tera]

haters gonna hate n.n

I'm taking you off the ignore list. Let's be friends!

 

[vas_a_morir]

haters gonna hate n.n

This phrase is used for when people badmouth the other team, not their own. The only hatin' going on in here is hatred for our own team.

 

[The Frankman]

Goddamn LIFELONGS.

 

[vas_a_morir]

Goddamn LIFELONGS.

The Legend of Vas' Curse strikes again.

That's it, Imma lifelong CUBA, comrades.

 

[eznark]

Holy shit that was hilarious. Mexicans all piled into a little picnic/atrium area and formed a parade with a full horn section! They marched down the streets of Phoenix in the rain. Amazing.

People give a shit about the WBC. Who knew?!

Great day for Selig.

 

[vas_a_morir]

I would not sully the good name of the MLBGAF IRC on the WBC, but I can't wait til we're back. I got some jokes 2 hot 4 Basic-GAF.

 

[cashman]

Hmm.

Well by position we have:

Catchers
Joe Mauer 4th in WAR
Lucroy 8th in WAR
JP Arencibia 27th in WAR

First Base
Eric Hosmer 89th in WAR

Second Base
Brandon Phillips 5th in WAR

Third Base
David Wright 1st in WAR

Short Stop
Jimmy Rollins 3rd in WAR

Out Field
Ryan Braun 2nd in WAR
Adam Jones 16th in WAR
Giancarlo Stanton 9th in WAR
Shane Victorino 33rd in WAR

That's not too bad of a starting lineup. I'll have to look at the pitching later.

If you wanted a more optimal lineup you'd throw in Posey at Catcher, Fielder at First and Trout in Center.

 

[Fox318]

Damn it.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Olney is reporting Bochy called the Mexico team and bitched them out for using Sergio Romo again after throwing 26 pitches the day before.

They did mention on the broadcast that Romo had never pitched the next day after throwing at least 25 pitches before.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

USA better not get Mercy'd by the almighty Italians!

 

[Sanjuro]

Mariano committing suicide, LIVE!
