I'm stoked to have baseball back! There is enough major league talent involved in the World Baseball Classic to make it plenty exciting and worth watching. Can't wait to see USA play!

I had an early flight, so I was up and watched a bit of the Israel/Korea game.

Honestly, I just don't give a shit. I hope none of the MLB players get hurt. Particularly Indians players.

The biggest problem for me is that I've realized that, generally speaking, US players don't care.

If we sent our best, motivated players to this tourney, it'd be a cakewalk.

It's baseball, I'm going to watch it. Already a big upset with Israel beating Korea.

It's slightly more interesting than a Padres/White Sox spring training game.

I probably like baseball as much as I do eating, but even at that, the season is plenty long enough. I just don't feel starved for it enough to start following a tournament that produces a winner I don't care about. Spring training is kind of fun, so that holds me over.

Option 2 for me. Looking forward to watching it especially when Canada starts playing.

This has been phenomenal so far.

Love it. It's like the world cup times a billion.

You don't care because Kipnis didn't end up playing for Israel.

Should've stayed up for the end of Mexico/Italy. Italy erased a 4-run deficit and walked off with a win.

On a side note, Japhet Amador is my new hero.
