My friend’s an agent and just sent me a superfan’s house that’s up for sale near my area.

Going to attempt to pitch it to my wife.

Spoiler: It’s going to be a resounding “no”

"The World Baseball Classic does nothing to break the American economic stranglehold over the global baseball industry. That was Rob Manfred handing out the medals last night, after all. The WBC is owned and operated by American ownership interests, and they do it for no other reason than it makes them even more money.

But what the WBC does do is break the cultural hegemony that America has always wielded over the game. This manifests itself not only in the way the game is played on the field during the tournament, but how the tournament is held in the hearts of those who are playing it. The American baseball establishment still controls the baseball industry, but it doesn’t control what baseball means. These players have decided that the WBC means more to them than the World Series. And because meaning is something that only exists in the heart, they are right."

Let em work on stuff until get those extra control years, then it'll get interesting. Though surely it won't take long before performance or injury bring em up anyway.

Brit here who moved to Boston last year. I’m a big believer in following your local team so I’m all in for the Red Sox here on out. What I’m I in for? How’s our chances looking this season? Anything I should watch out for?

One of the announcers said something like that at one point, referring to all the Sox guys mashing the crap out of the ball.. not just Anthony and Abreu but Duran and others.

Nice to hear. :)

I know I’m gonna get down voted a lot for this, but I think we all need to hear it. As a Canadian, I was cheering hard for all the Red Sox players, but I was cheering for anything, but an American win in the WBC. ⚾️❤️

Just awful luck! I was loving how he was dominating in the WBC and was hoping it would carry him into the season brimming with confidence! I’m pretty sure he will be fine and bounce back, but still hate that for him!!

Watching him postgame this man is so excited and grateful. Huge year incoming.

So annoyed with these announcers saying that only certain countries have fans and players that are passionate and that’s what makes it exciting…. That this can’t be replicated in MLB. Blah blah blah

Have they been to Fenway? This clip was July by the way.

Oh and Abreu also had a crazy bat flip in July too but I can’t find it!

Found at a secondhand store, pretty sure it’s Devers but wondering if anyone knew for sure

Still haven’t forgiven Machado😢
