One might be inclined to think that they would take the middle road in answering that question.

It’s a perfect excuse for not winning.

“Not that they don;t have the talent to win it. They are just not willing to let it all hang out before their bodies say it’s ready to do so.”

I’m pretty sure the Americans who played for Team USA in the WBC would disagree with that.

I believe this points out in very obvious ways why it is that a March World Baseball Classic will never be something that the Americans compete well in.

Yeah, but his point is we don’t necessarily expect Korea and Japan to win or do very well in the WBC, but they do. We do expect the U.S. team to win the WBC and they don’t even get to the championship game.

The lede could have also been written “Once again, Asia’s top minor leaguers failed where its big leaguers have failed.” And he’d be right. Why is that?
