WBC should be moved back to the westcoast
After skewering Team Korea for being utterly humiliated...upon reflection, I must extend the team.a bit of grace. The team had to depart Tokyo to fly to Miami at midnite on 3/11..this means they arrived in Miami around 3/11 1:00 AM after flying for 14 hours. Having one day to recover from such a journey while playing a team who never had to leave Miami is objectively unfair. Playing the game at 3:30 EST was the equivalent of playing the game at 4:30 AM for them today.
This is also unfair for Japan but I reckon that the extra day of recovery that they get to enjoy is likely huge
To make things more fair the WBC knockout rounds hould be moved back to Petco Park or anywhere in California.
