>Taiwanese fans are angry at South Korean baseball player Moon Bo-kyung due to a perceived lack of "sportsmanship" during a 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC) match against Australia, which resulted in Taiwan's elimination.>Tie-Breaker Conditions: Due to complex WBC tie-breaker rules, Taiwan could have advanced to the quarterfinals if South Korea had scored at least 8 runs while Australia scored at least 3.>The "Passive" Strikeout: With two outs in the top of the ninth inning and Korea leading 7-2, Moon Bo-kyung struck out on just three pitches without swinging.>Accusations of Rigging: Taiwanese fans and commentators accused Moon of intentionally striking out to keep the score at 7-2, which secured Korea's advancement but ensured Taiwan's elimination.>Social Media Backlash: Following the game, Moon’s Instagram was flooded with over 10,000 comments, many of them "hate comments" from upset Taiwanese fans. Common criticisms included claims that he was "asleep at the plate" or lacked sportsmanship.Is this accusation legitimate or was it just a coincidence?
Here's the controversial moment when he gets struck out.
Baseball is a stupid sport compared to say fencing or 100m sprint
kek. zesty ass nigga
>>530357343No one likes worst KoreaDeal with itKim Jung Un is the rightful owner of your clay
>>530357343Why would they expect a South Korean player to think about Taiwan at all?
>>530357343who cares about baseballwatch australia vs philippines where the little gooks get butt hurt about a little bit of abuse and it turns into a full blown all in brawl where people are grabbing chairs and hitting people in the head in the entire stadiumgood stuff

>>530357343Any sport you watch for entertainment but never ever in your life participated in, only for you to go buy their overpriced goyslop merchandise, means you are not human. You're an NPC mindless fucking retard ATM machine for hymies.KYS
>>530357588I know nothing about baseball but i see the jeets here play something called cricket which looks the same. Its a jeet sport.
>koreans being rudeimagine that
>>530357737what if i read books instead of writing books is that ok
>>530357621>We call it Rounders
Why would you ever structure any tournament so it could be gamed like this?p.s. the other day I was teaching English to a Taiwanese grandmother who doesn't even know the rules to baseball but she was really excited about the WBC. If the enthusiasm got to her I believe people there will be mad angry now.
>>530357679I never played cricket - my mum's Scottish and said she'd cut my balls off if I did.
>>530357343You mean nigger ball?
>>530357833I'm not French
>>530357737if you enjoy nigger ball don't be surprised when your daughter brings back niggers to your home
>>530357343Baseball is a white man's sport, go play something else gook-il-sung.
>>530357958Why are you in my country, old rival?
>>530357343Lmao this is retarded AF. The gooks scoring more runs wouldnt had affected them. The main concern was to keep the Aussies under 3 runs
If anything the gooks had any reason to score more runs. If they had reach 8 runs the convicts would have been virtually eliminated (unless an unrealistic 8-9 comeback) and wouldn't have any reason to score which would had qualified the chankoros
>>530357737But I did play baseball in schoolYou did play sports in school, right anon?
>>530357343It's kind of weird how much Asian countries like baseball. Also, kek at Australians who can't even beat gooks at baseball.
>>530357748theres like 1 jeet in the whole mlb
>>530357343>Moon Bo-kyung struck out on just three pitches without swinging.>game ends on a pop flyLying gook.
>>530358086French girls love the Irish boys
>>530357343>If you do this you will advance and the opponent will not>*Do it*>BROOOOOOOOOOOOOIsn't this normal tho? What did they expect?
>>530357343>Taiwan could have advanced to the quarterfinals if South Korea had scored at least 8 runs while Australia scored at least 3.just reading this i dont understand the scoring system. wouldnt the tiebreaker decision have something to do with taiwan losing 13-0 to japan? why would their other group opponents need to score even more
taiwanese women owe me sex
>>530357343i think the problem is in retarded rules that enable this type of fiasco.
>>530358459You're that married guy regular poster?
idk man
>>530357343Also WTF is wrong with his pants?
I hope everyone that religiously follows sports after high school dies of terminal cancer, i don't give a shit about your team or sport. Coworkers get butthurt when I say it's literally the same game over and over
It's legitimate. This has happened in other big sporting tournaments and sportsball fans seethe over it for literally decades afterwards, for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disgrace_of_Gij%C3%B3nI see their point, the idea of sportsball is to go all out to win your game. If you are avoiding play to exploit the rules (running out the clock, deliberately ignoring scoring opportunities) then you are kinda splaying sportslawyer rather than sportsball. People go to a match to watch the game, not some team manager's sneaky strategy. Notice how nobody in the bible plays any kinds of sports even though games and recreation are a normal part of human activity and the greeks and romans had institutionalized friendly competition by the time christ lived.
>>530357503Baseball is one of the better things about American culture. It's a civilized and dignified game compared to football. That said all sportsball is just an elaborated competitive mating ritual with the ball representing the sperm and the goal or valid outfield area representing the uterus.
>>530357575you lost.
>>530357821You can't unlearn something you've read, so no it doesn't matter if you EVER make use of it, it's a part of you and should you choose to use it, your accumulated knowledge becomes your overarching wisdom expressed through your learned subject, so fuck off.>>530357929I taught martial arts so I am keen on the subject and enjoy people fighting because it's what I did and do faggot.>>530358011my girls hate niggers, the first thing they learned from me kike>>530358257nothing even half serious, I did fight alot so I earned my participation. you probably werent any good at your sport which explain why you watch others do it now fat fuck
>>530357343Based gooks
>>530359451Why would you do a gamble when you're already winning?
All of the taiwanese baseball teams are named after beer companies.
If they played better before, then they wouldn't be eliminated right?
>>530363381it was rigged, like so much else around here
