Reply to "Edwin Diaz and Future of WBC"

What an ending!!!

I can't help but see the joy and pride of the players playing for their country, and playing with and against the best players in their country and the world in meaningful games (not like the all star games), and then think of all the other players that didn't participate (either bec they didn't want to take the risk, their teams didn't allow them, or they can't get insurance). Can't help imagining what it would it be like if all the countries truly have the best players. Would the players that didn't participate be more interested in participating after seeing this year's WBC? I don't know if there's anything about this WBC that would move the needle for making the MLB teams be more willing to allow their players to participate.

On the other hand, while the USA team's gap seems to be lack of pitching talent/depth, giving up only 3 runs should have been enough to win it.
