The World Baseball Classic is underway again.

A shocker as South Korea gets blanked by the Netherlands 5-0.

Netherlands ain't too shabby thanks to their Caribbean territories.

Also, a Korean friend of mine who is an expert on baseball was none-too optimistic about Team Korea's chances this year. Apparently they've had a significant talent drop off.

Yeah, I should have added that they get the majority of their players from Curacao. It isn't like they just lost to France. Laughing

The best American players are allowed to participate. Many of them just don't want to.

Korea still has a lot of talent on their team. The only big talent not on the team is Ryu but they still have many experienced pitchers. Considering they have 3 first basemen alone that hit well over .300 last season plus at least two more players on their starting line up that hit over .300 last season. Most of this years players played in the previous Asian Games so they have international experience.

The loss to the Netherlands was a needed wake up call. They should have won that game or at made it closer. The coach made a huge mistake of not pulling Lee Dae Ho and putting in Lee Sung Yeop. The 4 errors was amateur league ball and the batting was worse than the cages in Gangnam at 11pm on a Friday night.

Catman, good point. They are allowed to play but don't. They need to do the same as basketball and get inspired to make a Dream Team.

I am really glad Dickey is on the team again. I want to see the player's reaction to his knuckle ball. That thing is truly a beast.

Korea sucked and choked. Nothing new there.

Are the locals blaming the tie breaker rules on why they're eliminated?
