    Not sure how they made these pools but I would love for PR to be on either Pool A or B.

    And Correa is skipping it at least in part because of the birth of his son/daughter. Apparently he hasn't heard about planes.

      You sure it’s because of his childs birth and not a failed physical.[emoji12]

          Yadier Molina is our coach, not sure why with all the experienced managers and bench coaches we have in the majors. Would rather he grabbed a catchers mitt and got behind the plate.

            That's probably the real reason. If he played for us and got hurt before playing a game for the Twins after the whole contract debacle it would look horrible.

              I'd imagine it's based on where the countries are located more than seeding based on strength.

              It sucks one of DR,PR,Venezuela will be out before the quarters and someone like China, Australia could make the semis.

                I hope this becomes playable somehow either through mods or a mobile game. Obviously The Show has no interest, they never have.

                  Yeah, but it can't be based solely on geography if not our Pool would include Cuba too :P

                    Looking at rosters, Italy could be a surprise given the number of Hitters on their roster that are part of MLB organizations.

                    Panama of course a fave from that side of the bracket too.

                    Japan obviously the other fave.

                    I see it ending up:
                    DR vs Japan in the finals

                    Japan vs Panama and DR vs USA in the semis.

                      The way these pools are split is insane.

                      So basically every country that knows how to play baseball save for basically Japan, Cuba and Netherlands on one side of the bracket? Whattajoke.

                      Do they still have dumb pitch limits and extra innings limits in this tournament?

                          "Clayton Kershaw indicated Thursday that there are some "complications" in him getting cleared to pitch for Team USA in the upcoming World Baseball Classic".

                            Sounds like it was related to insurance - which has popped up a number of times in international hockey tournaments over the years.
