Considering many of the foreign teams are littered with Americans that have just a sliver of lineage from the country they’re representing, it’s somewhat farcical.

They should just do it with us, Japan and a handful of the Latin American countries.

you ride the horse for 100 pitches easy. This is more important than the MLB and all that money shite


Throwing 100 pitches in a game in April is extremely rare in modern baseball. It happening in the middle of March doesn’t happen at all during Spring Trsining.

He got the same support he gets with the Pirates anyway.

Because the team that pays and employs him, the Pirates, don't want him to get injured in, the most part, an unimportant WBC game in March. And I 100% agree.

As a fan, I wish Skubal was a part of this too, but considering he is getting about $35,000,000 to pitch this year from his employer in the final year of his contract, when he's trying to get $400,000,000+ total following the season. His 2026 season is much more important than the WBC. Sorry.

The Pirates put a pitch count on Skenes bc they don’t want him to get hurt so they can go 62-100 this season.


Gotta protect that trade value.

It’s actually crazy that you can’t comprehend why he’s on a pitch count
