Japan earned it. They will always be on the A list of teams
-
- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice.
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal to a troll. The individual in the video is very obviously Patrick S. Tomlinson.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never submitted this video footage during any of his many media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergences (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.
Anyone following the World Baseball Classic?

You’re right art and sir Paul just mad.
It's hard to have pride when you know the team you're rooting for doesn't have the same pride.
I hate using the this word, but LITERALLY half the population of Japan has watched the series. I can't even imagine how low American viewership was of this series in the early stages. There's a reason ESPN didn't take the rights to broadcast.
Next one is in 2026 and I wonder which new countries will join, I'm guessing Argentina or Brazil.
I watched some of the qualifier matches recently and seen Pakistan had a team going through the rounds lol.
I think its pretty cool how much they love and respect the sport. Their culture didnt accept many outside influences when it was introduced to them.
My friend married a Japanese woman who is about 10 years older than us and when I met her he said just casually said I liked baseball and she immediately starting talking to me about baseball. I had never had a woman talk to me about sports who actually knew what she was talking about. Talked about the NPB and even talked about how popular Ichiro was in the 90s in Japan.
You think Americans are fond of Babe Ruth? Japs LOVE him.
Trout is cursed.
This is why its not a big deal here.... every other baseball playing country gets their best players to play, this was the best offensive team the US ever put together but the starting pitchers were garbage. those other countries view this as big as the world cup. mom of our faggot players needed to begged to play and still couldn't get a half decent rotation together. Credit to guys who did play though...
Couple of players have said playing in the WBC is more important than playing in the World Series. Including players who have played in both series and have won a WS.
They don't even get paid to do the WBC.
My friend hates this tournament and thinks it should be canceled. I personally never put any thought into it.
It's crazy to think Randy Arozarena was paid something like $38 a month to play baseball in Cuba at the professional level.
Nigga defected to Mexico, played phenomenally in the WBC and made a bunch of new fans. Hopefully the Ray's fans keep showing him love during the season.

As an ex baseball guy, the 2017 wbc win was probably top three proudest games.
