I admit they're exciting to watch. Those lineups playing against each other, it's like a for real All Star game in some of these matchups. Crowds are juiced, players showing each other up and celebrating without unwritten rules. I get that the tournament can negatively effect an MLB teams season with injuries and overwork, but MLB could actually learn something from the Classic. The games are fun to watch.

Salvador Perez gets good news on knee after potential WBC disaster - SBNation.com
The World Baseball Classic is a hell of a lot of fun, but unfortunately when one of your favorite team's players is participating, you have to hold your breath while enjoying the action. Royals fans learned that the hard way on Saturday night, as star catcher Salvador Perez injured his knee in a collision at home plate. As of this writing, we haven't learned the full extent of the injury. Luckily for the Royals, initial MRI tests show that Perez just has some inflammation in his knee. He'll be done at the WBC, but the injury isn't all that severe. This is surprising, given how serious it looked. Any loss of time for Perez is a huge blow for the Royals, who already needed some luck to compete in the AL Central. They have leaned heavily on Perez behind the plate over the last few years, with the 26-year-old logging more innings at catcher than anyone besides Buster Posey since 2013. Their backup right now is Drew Butera, who just so happens to be the player who collided into Perez to cause the injury in the first place. Even if it's not serious, the impact of this injury will be felt beyond just the Royals. People were already apprehensive about this tournament. The argument is that putting players into meaningful baseball this early in the year is bound to cause injuries. There may be a bit of truth to that, but it's not as if players don't get hurt in spring training. Hell, just last year Mets catcher Kevin Plawecki was injured in a spring training collision at the plate. A major injury to Perez would suck, and hopefully the upcoming follow-up tests support the first one. But it's not a reason to stop playing the World Baseball Classic.

The Royals are the worst team in MLB?

The Dominican/Colombia game is off the hook. Jose Bautista threw out a runner at home to end the 9th. Prevented Colombia from winning the game and pulling off a massive upset. Looked like both teams were about to riot afterwards. Crazy atmosphere.

He looked the same to me when I saw him.
Do the writers saying he looks out of shape know he was never the pillar of a solid physique?
