    Sounds like you think highly of the world baseball classic compared to me.

    I agree, how many of our players got injured shortly after the 2023 WBC? It has been a whirlwind for several of the Astros that played in it. Framber and Abreu seem to be the only ones unaffected by it although you have to wonder if it is catching up with Framber.

    I think it's a very cool thing, but MLB guys have no business in it.

    Take a two week all star break and play it then. Problem with the WBC is you get pitchers throwing like it’s the World Series and their arms aren’t ready yet

    Injuries like Altuve getting hit could happen in ST games, but the pitching just isn’t ready

    Better than the MLB All Star team. NL or AL
