With the early and surprise exit of the 4th ranked Korean baseball team what exactly is the state of Korean baseball . Some may blame the tie breaking method with 3 teams tied at 2-1 . But I dont buy that Korea played the worst game that I ever saw any Korean team play when they lost to Netherlands . 

Its my opinion that the Korean team has gotten old . The players are slow of foot and just try to hit homeruns .  The team was not built to play in Taiwan . The wind was blowing in  the air  was damp . Not good for hitting homeruns , Several times a Korean player hit a ball but got knocked down by the wind . Even a Aussie player hit a ball would have tied Netherlands 4-4 but got knocked down by wind . Taiwan  played smart with speed and grace of field . 

      Taiwan is a power in baseball equal to Korea . China has many people in 10 years they will pass Korea unless Korea takes some steps .The most important step is to build a dome stadium . Then Korea can host WBC games and MLB  preseason games . Next Year LA Dodgers will open the year in Australia . Korea was awesome in the 2006 and 2009 wbc but this year they looked well . You know how they looked .
