Rumblings have now started coming from the American camp that they didn't take the inaugural World Baseball Classic seriously anyhow.
Maybe they had mandatory drug tests there or something
Eh? Many of the best players on other teams play play MLB.
I don't know about the American team but Americans in general didn't take it seriously. That's why many of our best turned down going (similar to our Olympic basketball team).
America played against many fellow MLB players in the WBC so I'm not surprised they lost. The fact is America always cares about American "leagues" more than world competition 'cause there's no real money in it. Hurt yourself in some world competition that pays nothing and then career at home goes to shit.
I do think that any American player that went over and played needs to STFU, however. You step on the field, you play your best and don't give fucking excuses about it.
It reminds me of Olympic skier, Bode Miller. After HE LOST, he said he didn't care about medals.
Not a very good rod, btw mank
