The Orioles may have been off today, but their teammates who have gone to play in the World Baseball Classic are not. The Dominican Republic team that features Manny Machado and also has Welington Castillo will be in action tonight at Marlins Park in Miami, playing Canada.
Although none of the Canadian players in the World Baseball Classic were involved in any way in the incident of someone throwing a beer can at Hyun Soo Kim last year, Canadian baseball must nonetheless suffer for this and therefore all good people of Birdland should be rooting for the Dominican Republic even though Jose Bautista is on that team.
