I think in 2017, myself and probably everyone else that was watching the World Baseball Classic when the US won was like, Marcus Stroman might be the greatest pitcher in the history of Major League Baseball.

I need to draft him in the first round.

Yeah, like I need to draft him right away.

And then he has like

A classic like Stroman situation where he's like really good one year and then he's like not great the year that you draft him in fantasy.

But yeah, people are definitely going to be drafting and overdrafting certain players based on World Baseball Classic performance.

I like... A Bray is going to be one of them.

Oh yeah, for sure.

So you mentioned the ratings.

Almost 11 million people watched the championship game, which is crazy.

I think it was up from like 7 million or something, the previous championship game.

It was the most watched World Baseball Classic game ever.

Baseball's riding this high coming off of the World Series and coming off of the World Baseball Classic.

And I'm a little bit worried that once the regular season starts and everybody goes back to their teams and you lose the excitement that the World Baseball Classic games had,

that people are going to be like, oh, yeah, we're back to baseball now.

Because you don't have the playoff intensity.

You don't have the World Baseball Classic intensity.

And now it's like, okay, this is game number seven of 162.

You can't be playing trumpets and bat flipping and jumping over the dugout fence every time someone hits a home run.

Now we need to get back to baseball decorum.
