2013 MLB Thread

23 March 2013 - 10:08 PM

DR33 usually does the honors in creating this thing but we're a week away from the season beginning and I feel a bit silly bumping the 2012 thread, so, here we are.

A couple of great pieces of baseball reading came out this week:

First is this fantastic interview between Jonah Keri and Coco Crisp on the art of base-stealing. Some really cool stuff in here with Crisp breaking down a bunch of examples of him stealing in various situations: http://www.grantland...-stealing-bases

And then this article penned by Eno Sarris who interviews Joey Votto on hitting: http://www.fangraphs...tto-on-hitting/

Don't mind the websites, it's nothing saber-minded or anything, just some great baseball writing.

2013 World Baseball Cassic Thread

02 March 2013 - 09:03 AM

I remember having a thread for the 2009 WBC, so hey, why not?

Pool brackets and standings can be found here.

Schedule and final scores can be found here. All games are going to be on MLB Network.

Rosters can be found on the team pages from the "Teams" dropdown tab.

Pool A and B are just getting started this weekend. In Pool A, Japan defeated Brazil 5-3 earlier this morning. Last night, in Pool B, Chinese Taipei beat Australia 4-1 behind a good outing by Chien-Ming Wang.

Netherlands is facing Korea right now and they have a heck of an infield with Xander Bogaerts at 3B, Andrelton Simmons at SS, and Jonathan Schoop at 2B.

United States opens against Mexico next Friday. GO USA!
