These jerseys are a disgrace and an eye sore.
Why am I having conversation with my mother about the Milwaukee Brewers changing their name to the “Wisconsin Brewers”???

@jimiuorio @NCAA @MarchMadnessMBB Can we stop this trend of complaining about a schedule that has been operating this way for DECADES???
Just cuz it works for YOU doesn’t mean it works for other fans, teams, hosts, travel, hotels, sponsors, etc…
English
Dear @NCAA @MarchMadnessMBB, huge self inflicted economic wound is having the final four on Saturday and Monday. Having games at 5:00 and 8:00 on Friday and then the championship at 4:00 on Sunday would exponentially increase buzz and eyeballs..

It’s that time of year - just a friendly reminder:
One man, one bracket!
Say it with your chest!!!

Not a scorching take - actually a reasonable take. The format/timing is perfect. I understand the player availability frustration, but hopefully it’s addressed in the next CBA.
Andy Behrens@andybehrens
One scorching take I have is that baseball got the WBC exactly right and nothing should change. It's pretty much perfect. That was awesome.

people want this cancelled??? people want this moved??? people want the Olympics???? You are looking at the gift horses’ mouth.

Clown opinion. Team USA didn’t need his heartless ass anyways! McLean shoved good enough.
It meant more to the Venezuelans.
Jeff Riger@riger1984
Detroit should celebrate Tarik Skubal for not pitching tonight. He chose the Tigers over a poorly organized exhibition. His outing 9 days from now against the Padres is a hell of a lot more important than the WBC. Great decision by the Tigers ace. Bring on the real thing.
English
@HowieRose Every idiot on this app got their nonsense opinions!
Let’s set this straight - no team in their right mind is going to let their pitcher throw 100 pitches for the WBC in the middle of July when their team is in a playoff push!!!!

@JoakimSzn2 Why can’t we ever just enjoy what is already great? The WBC is amazing BECAUSE of its international involvement. Also - as a fan, great to watch meaningful baseball in March. We already have meaningful baseball in July.
English
Imagine how much better the WBC would be if there were no restrictions on pitchers and everyone was in midseason form. Makes you wonder if MLB would consider shutting down for a couple of weeks à la NHL for Olympics or similar WBC. A true best on best would be awesome. Next CBA?
English
@theblockspot This might be the easiest question of all time.
March Madness day 1
MLB opening day
Sunday at the Masters
I don’t think I can respect any other answer
English
KEEP 3… CUT 7… SPORTS DAYS:
• Selection Sunday
• March Madness Day 1
• MLB Opening Day
• Super Bowl Sunday
• NFL Free Agency Day 1
• NFL Draft Round 1
• NBA Christmas Day
• NFL Thanksgiving Day
• NFL Week 1 Sunday
• Sunday at The Masters
Which 3 are you KEEPING ???
English
@JoeOrrico99 Can we please stop with this horrible idea????
No - the WBC doesn’t belong in the middle of the season!
The best thing about the WBC is the international games/involvement!
The middle of the summer makes that almost impossible!
Keep it as is!!!
More meaningful games in March
English
Idea: Scrap the MLB All-Star Game and have the WBC every year halfway through the season
English
@BrewPack8 Couldn’t agree more.
The slander from the media and that hack Joe Lunardi is undeserving.
20 years ago St Joe’s got bounced in their first conference tourney game and still got a 1 seed. Now we are talking about a team going 31-1 not even making the tourney! What are we doin!
English
If Miami Ohio does not make the tournament then you’re telling a lot of teams that their regular seasons mean absolutely nothing. Are they one of the best 68 team? Idk but that 8 seed team who won a few games in their conference tournament isn’t either. You win your conference tournament you’re in, you go undefeated in the regular season you should be in without a question too. They’re much more worthy than a near 500 Auburn team.

WBC reform:
16 teams, 4-team pools, all US venues. Right after All-Star game. International teams arrive early, Japan/US exhibition pre-tourney. Stagger pool play, tiered player pay, best-of-3 final. MLB resumes July 28. Full 2.5 week break
Open to questions
English
@TheMetsX Opinion invalid after “I don’t care much for the WBC”.
You can’t do run differential in a baseball tournament.
Maybe your peanut brain forgot that if the home team is winning after the top of the 9th, they don’t get to bat again.
Think before you tweet something this dumb.
English
Truthfully, I don’t care much for the WBC, but with that being said
How on earth is “runs allowed” a tie breaker in an actual tournament rather than “run differential”
What sense does that make?
Knicks Memes@KnicksMemes
If the USA loses this game, and then Mexico beats Italy as expected, the tiebreaker is runs allowed. USA is in SERIOUS danger of losing that tiebreaker and being eliminated from the World Baseball Classic in the Group Stage. They need to rally and win this game. #WBC
English
@realboshek Sounds great - except winner of the pool gets a nice prize money boost and doesn’t have to face Puerto Rico in the quarters.
Winning the pool has massive advantage with being the home team in the bracket side.
English
Mexico and Italy can shake hands (after Mexico takes a 1-0 lead) by both teams agreeing not to swing at another pitch for rest of the game
and both teams advance
English

Should not even be a debate about 29-0 @MiamiOH_BBall as to whether they should be part of @MarchMadnessMBB if they do not win the MAC tourney -metrics used to define who should qualify as at large teams is one sided & favors MEDIOCRITY from power conferences over EXCELLENCE by mid majors .

All this man does is talk… 23-0 speaks for itself! Maybe he should worry about his own team…

Doug Gottlieb took a "shot" at Miami and the RedHawks schedule. He said that he would "feel really good" if Green Bay played Miami. Miami won at Wright State. The Raiders are currently in first place in the Horizon. Green Bay lost twice to Wright State by a combined 36 points.
