WBC

I think my favorite thing to come out of the World Baseball Classic this year is the absolute bromance that’s developed between the Japanese team and the Czech team. Ohtani wore a Czech hat and now EVERYONE is wearing Czech hats, haha.

Also, the final showdown between the US and Japan was pretty great. I know some people are very critical of the WBC (for things like the Diaz injury), but it’s enjoyable to watch and probably a lot of fun for the players.

Noooo, not Diaz!

Well, hell.

That freaking blows, dude. He had such a good year last year and this is such a sucky way to end a big game like this. Seeing his brother cry too is rough.

Edit: he’s got a full-thickness tear of his patellar tendon. He’s going to miss at least eight moths in recovery.

Edit 2: missing the whole season, but it looks like he’s working hard to recover!

GREAT(?) BRITAIN

So Great Britain is playing in the World Baseball Classic today and bruh.

These jerseys.

It’s like someone’s aunt was in charge of making these and she just bought those iron-on letters from Michaels or something and stuck ‘em on there.

Edit: HAHAHAHA THE “T” FELL OFF

Best response: “Not the first time Britain has been impacted by the loss of “T””

Edit again: This thread is the best.

Yay, USA won the World Baseball Classic!

I’m ready for the regular season to start. Nate got me all excited about baseball last year, haha.

Edit: unrelated, but important.
