Honestly 4 games seems about right.

They were, in fact, stupid.

Feels like a dead league already.

Might’ve watched this a few times last night. Just an insane performance by Nowell.

An unresponsive commish isn't a great start.

I have no ill will towards him and hope everything is OK, but from a baseball standpoint, I'm really hoping that O'Hoppe can use this opportunity to take the starting job and run with it

10/500 is probably a reasonable guess for what he'll get on the FA market. Could even see him getting some sort of unique deal that allows him to make more than that in some way. In a global sense, the dude is the face of the sport, and he's well aware of that.

Good point comrade

I think this ball was last spotted somewhere over the Philippines.

@Chuckster70 Thanks for the graphic btw. Pretty well put together by whoever did it. Also, MLB has team gear up for all the teams now. Some of the hats are pretty cool.

Dropped some $ on Venezuela to win at +1000. Seemed like pretty good value. DR, USA, and Japan are top three betting favorites at +200, +275, and +275 respectively.

This guy did them all. Really impressive!

Here’s a graphic for every team in the WBC that provides details and history for each country represented in the WBC. 
 
 

I see what you mean, dude. I started this tonight and it's clearly aimed at casuals, but I see why it works and how it would would have worked for the F1 series.
A little too melodramatic (for the casuals), but I always enjoy just about any behind the scenes type stuff of things I'm into. I'll probably watch all of them and dig it.
I forgot JT came back from 7 down to win the PGA.

I mean that's kinda their thing, historically. Like everything's cool, then BAM!... British Empire's here

Good point comrade

Yeah, it's basically a direct re-creation of Drive to Survive, but with golf. Same format/structure and style. I'm sure the PGA saw what that series did for F1 in the US and was like "Can we be next please?" As GB said, people that are already fans of golf will probably enjoy it, yet the show is very clearly aimed at people that know nothing about golf. Like they spend a lot of time talking about how tournaments work, explaining scoring, etc... I remember a huge text graphic at one point explaining what a bogey is for instance.

Yeah, maybe this is true of all fan bases, but it seems like we have some sort of weird tendency to overvalue our prospects here.
