Talk:The WBC, Why didn't we think of this before?/@comment-101807-20060314121540

I&quot;m a huge baseball fan and I didn&quot;t give a crap about the classic before it began. Now, as one of the few people in the country who likes sports but hates college basketball, I&quot;m grateful to have something to focus on rather besided March f*cking Madness. It&quot;s disappointing that some of the players opted out, but at the same time, it makes for a more excting tournament that the US and Dominican teams aren&quot;t as good as they could be. You have to judge the tournament and the games by those who are actually playing, rather than by who could have played.  What is ridiculous and needs to be changed is the pitch counts. It&quot;s just not a true game of baseball if the starter is limited to 60 pitches and everybody knows it. I understand that it&quot;s because it&quot;s March and a pitcher can&quot;t just go from long-tossing twice a week to throwing complete games. But it&quot;s still the biggest reason to move the tournie to November.
