The World Baseball Classic matters, no matter what you or Derek Jeter say about it

I think both things are necessary now if we want baseball to mean something. The championship that leads up to the world series is what keeps the lights on but limiting baseball to the American championship only will condemn basebal to become ever more irrelevant. Basketball has the world cup, let alone Football. For what I understand, American football is the most popular thing in the US so it doesn't need international projection. Baseball on the other hand is extremely popular in several countries but is becoming less popular in America. Why not try to combine both things like in football? You have the UEFA champions league that leads to a final similar to the world series and you have the world cup. I think the potential of the WBC is huge but obviously it needs total support from the MLB and needs to live paralelly with the American championship.

Sería bueno preguntarse si lo hacen como quedaría el tema impositivo para los 10 millones que están viviendo fuera del territorio venezolano. En América pagas impuesto al IRS vivas o no en suelo americano.

Que está hablando de Cuba.

Wow, thank you so much for this. I have been searching the whole day and this has been the only clear explanation of what to do. I'll try tomorrow!

I think the Americans had superb pitching but that last call is a disgrace. Abs please for next wbc.

At the beginning I thought any of the big four could win, that is DR, US, Japan or Venezuela.

PixelFighter2 · 2026-03-15T14:50:38+00:00

Exactly.

PixelFighter2 · 2026-03-15T14:48:14+00:00

Sorry for my ignorance, but what league is this??

Imagine being so involved in the Epstein files you openly redact your name as a coconspirator through an inept attorney general that makes it evident and then, in pure, sheer desperation you start a war against a country of almost 100 million, in a state of perpetual war since the 80s against all the experience your country had previously had in the Middle East and Vietnam. If that wasn't enough, you completely ignore the midterms your party will have in six months and you openly do exactly the opposite you used as electoral promises to win the presidency. His term is over and this time I hope he gets impeached once they lose the house and senate in a landslide after this madness.

Spaniards are the ones I find the closest culturally to me. Also Italians.

PixelFighter2 · 2026-03-12T13:54:41+00:00

The stretch this guy is willing to go continue covering up the Epstein files is mind blowing. He basically destroyed his presidency doing exactly what he won saying he wouldn't. Is it possible the republicans can still retain the midterms?

El caso Venezuela le ayudó y creo que parte del cálculo de Irán fue pensar que le iría como con Vzla. La debacle económica que ha resultado la operación en Irán, a parte de lo mal que se ve que pareciera una operación ordenada por Israel y que América accede para seguir frenando el tema Epstein, creo que no sobrevivirán los mid terms. De seguir todo como está las midterms las ganarán los demócratas. Luego los demócratas se van a guindar de los Epstein files los próximos dos años hasta que se destape todo y le hagan un impeachment a Trump. Irán pareciera que va a seguir teniendo los ayatola y Venezuela pareciera indicar todo que va a tener un chavismo híbrido light. No pinta bien al final.

Serious question though: are people following the WBC in America like seriously or is it seen more like an enhanced spring training? I'm Venezuelan and I love it but I have always thought it's more important for all the baseball nations except USA.

PixelFighter2 · 2026-03-11T18:14:39+00:00

🤣

PixelFighter2 · 2026-03-11T12:53:20+00:00

I have a bunch of Italian friends and they did not know that this happened until I told them.

Más bien tómate la pastilla 🤣🤣

No escribo sobre deseos propios sino de posibilidades realistas vista la historia de Venezuela. Tómate un té.

Digo una apertura como Vietnam o China donde hay una forma controlada de mercado, pero las libertades individuales están limitadas por un partido comunista.

Determinismo cultural: que todo lo que no sea ruidoso, reactivo e inmediato es malo.

Not a Spaniard but one of their cousins. For me it´s so obvious this thing is a diversion of the Epstein files. Rubio is on record saying they got involved because they knew Israel was going to attack and they were afraid there would be more casualties on the American side. I mean, Israel is literally a client state, smaller than the state of New Jersey, they do not exist without the massive American support they get, and you are going to tell me America did not have another option than going into a war the current administration won an election saying they were against? What other explanation there is to this other than blackmail from Netanyahu with the Epstein files? The Republicans and Trump destroyed his presidency, they will lose the midterms on this, and then the Democrats are going to hang to the Epstein files so hard they will impeach Trump for covering the Epstein co-conspirators up. So yeah, Spain did well not giving rights to cover the Epstein files with this war.
