World Baseball Classic

Recommended Posts

I was recently thinking about how disappointed it makes me that fewer American pitchers are particularly excited or willing to pitch for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic... and then Roy Oswalt signed on to be the team's ace, and I think my heart stopped. Oswalt's one of my very favorite pitchers, and the thought of him being hurt in these exhibitions is rough, especially after he hurt his hip last year and had a bad first half as a result.

 

But still, the rational side of me says that the WBC isn't really that bad for players, and that it's a fun game.

 

I'm looking forward to it.

I like this.

 

MLB.com: Is it hard to get motivated for a tournament that isn't the World Series, and one that is played in March, after everyone has just had so much down time over the winter?

 

Oswalt: It's actually pretty easy to get up for this. You're looking at representing the whole United States instead of representing just one city. It's not a true Olympics, but you are facing world competition, where you're going to get yourself up to beat a foreign country.
