I agree with you.

The reason I say I agree with the WBC theory, and I think Major League Baseball is trying so hard, and they're doing a great job of trying to make this right.

And it's a work in progress, right?

It's been going on for 20 years now, every three years.

And so it's gotten better and better.

How do you find the right time?

How do you find the right time to do this?

And what happens is, I thought this year, if you're trying to keep guys healthy...

that this was the best time and the right time to do it because you got them as close to opening day as you can.

But what happens when you have something super emotional like that and invested, and you're like, those guys are really invested in their team and what they can do.

Now you go back to spring training, and it's like, okay, downtime, but also ramp back up because the season's going to start in one week.

It's like, yeah, I hear you, man.

It's almost like it's hard to get back up, you know?

And I know they're pros, but I don't think people really can quantify or understand that emotional value that went into all that and the intensity that went into that.

And then you back off that.

But then go again.

Hurry up.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

And then now you see it.

Guys are starting to pull out of that.
