Following up a leadoff walk by allowing a ground rule double is even less ideal
Trevor Megill in the danger zone right now. Go ahead run on 2nd base. Nobody out
I imagined ABS fixing the ridiculous misses.
The fact we are judging umpires on a 100 mph pitch with filthy movement, and judging them on missing it by 1/10th inch means we have lost the plot.
A server update and a small game update to address some crashes before a future update next week is set to deploy at 4 AM PT on 4/9/2026 on all platforms.

Please complete all games prior to that time.
I hate to say it, but the lockout has been in the back of my mind this whole tournament. This is by far the most important the World Baseball Classic has ever felt. Viewership, revenue and attendance numbers are steadily climbing year over year.
They can’t fuck this momentum up with a lockout next year, can they? Oh, they can. And they will. If there’s one thing we can all agree on as it pertains to this beautiful game that we all love so dearly, it’s that it has a tendency to not be able to get out of its own way.
I hope I’m wrong, because MLB has truly positioned itself to soon become the second most popular sport of the four major sports. That is, if they can prevent what feels like the inevitable.
