>>153798992US players recognize that this tournament doesn't matter
my Metsies :)
what do you know about this baseball?
>>153799018Jesus that was a fat ball
>>153798992>Harper saying nobody gives a shit and that the (((Olympics))) is more importantdid he actually say this kek?why he turn out if that's the case lol
what the FUCK kind of deal with the devil did my braves make to win in '21?
Will Raleigh fist bump Randy tonight to atone for Will Smith's poor sportsmanship that caused the USA to lose against Mexico in 2023?
>>153799025It’s sad. In theory I should be super excited about Cal and Witt and Schwarbs all playing on the same team but here I’m feeling more emotional about Nicaragua getting walked off by Netherlands.
Who are /we/ watching before the Border War game?
>>153799057>>153799078USA is hedging so fucking hard because their sluggers bats suck ass early in the season. Mexico is going to wreck the US in an hour and 15 minutes.
>>153799096I'm gonna watch Nicaragua and I'm wholeheartedly hoping they give us a hard time. Close baybaw is best baybaw
>>153799096your New York Metropolitans
>>153799095I think because they're expected to be like the Dominican team but are taking a lot of walks.
>>153799095unless the finals take place in a different country all these tourneys will have the feel of the world vs the US death star.
>cuba game rain delayed againlol! da wbc!

>>153799096Cuba vs Puerto
I played this on my Gameboy when I was a kid. Did you play it too?
PR will be losing their hosting privileges after the constant rain delays.
My Mejicanos :)
The US players are boring because they view this as an exhibition/extended spring training since the world series is more important to their careers. That's why you even have guys like Skubal leaving the tournament after the first game, it was just a thing to check off in case they win so they can say they "played and won the WBC"
>>153799163guess thats not great PR for PR haha(just came up with this)
>Phillies, Luzardo agree to 5-year, $135 million extension (source)
>>153799132hmmm I see where he's coming from, but probably best left unsaid to be honestespecially as there probably are guys that would love to be representing their country right nowI'm most shocked that he's only 33 currently, he looks several years older, he should step up his raw milk regimen
What if /mlb/ played a baseball game among the posters?
>>153799177nice for the PhilsLuzardo is impressive
>>153799183id be PCAelite fielder and say dumb shit to the media
>>153799183id win
>>153799183lets just say cubspie would be taking a lot of us deep if you know what I'm saying
>>153799183deep deep right field me
>>153799126Final should be hosted at Koshien. It’s where the Japanese high schoolers become breakout stars, the big stage for a hundred baseball anime and manga, home of the most passionate and obnoxious fanbase in NPB. If America wins there it’ll be hilarious. If DR wins there they’ll gain a whole generation of new fans. A win for everyone. Fuck Miami
>>153799183I'd be pitching and looking to settle old scores with inside heat
>>153799183my position: Left Right Out
>>153799201Why you don't like Miami?
I think the winner of the previous tournament should host the finals of the next one. Or at least choose where to host it. I don't really get why "loandepot Park" became the choice
>>153799201ideally it would rotate around with all the competing countries having a shot at hosting but that would take years before something like that happened
>>153799192Cubspie’s here?? Where?! Where is she!
>>153799224yea this surprised me when checking the venuesthought the Japs would've been hosting it being the reigning champs
>>153799224>I don't really get why "loandepot Park" became the choiceWikipedia says the LoanDepot Park is the ballpark of the Miami Marlins. Maybe that's why.
>>153799182It’s retarded. A half dozen teams participating in a rushed and poorly organized competition that is surrounded by a million other events, in the middle of summer? He thinks that will grow the sport better than an entire tournament hosted on both sides of the Pacific devoted to it? What Harper is describing better applies to shit like breakdancing. People know what baseball is. He’s out of his mind
>>153799245It's just a gut reaction to how people were reacting to the hockey finals in the winter olympics just last month. He thinks baseball will somehow get the same spectacle in the summer olympics when it probably won't.
>17 days till Opening Day..soon bros
>>153799245>breakdancinglets not put that in the olympics again, thanks
>>153799245>>153799257he's probably right, actually. not every country cares about the WBC. everyone wants to compete in the olympics.
>>153799269It was an Australian dancer that made headlines though
>>153799282the olympic baseball event will have even less teams competing
>>153799245yea I agree, a whole tourney for the sport will develop it better than 6 days of one 4 year Olympics cycleI think he's overstating how much people will care about baseball at the Olympics too, it could get lost among the million other events people wanna see
>>153799269t. Raygun
>>153799285and for none of the right reasons lolexcept her kino brapper
>>153799269Raygun was based and I will die on this hill
>>153799285and destroyed all of australias credibility as dancers we have a long history of being pioneers and masters at select styles of dance https://youtu.be/ZPaMdxC6CQI
FIGHT
>>153799192This is misogynistic as fuck
>>153799201Agreed. This is my time to remind everyone to watch the documentary Koshien: Japan's Field of Dreams.>>153799219SOVL-LESS. Destroyed the kino 90's Florida Marlins logo and replaced it with these. The team has ranked last in attendance since they rebranded.
>>153799282You have a better chance breaking through with an exclusive tournament than in the Olympics where everyone is going to focus on the trad sports my man.Besides I'd rather have a start with Brazil, Panama, Australia, Britain and Italy and consolidate them as pelotero countries
>>153799313AND WIN
>>153799321How do you feel about the 2019 logo? Feel like they wanted to fix things after 2012.
the utter lack of barves on the USA team is really telling. is it because theyre all too busy chopping each other on in highway truckstop bathrooms? or is it because they suck em?
>>153799183>>153799205We love your fire and determination anon, we're trading you to the (You)stars for prospects.
>>153799219Also Miami isn’t a baseball town. If you’re going to host the WBC in the US, at least have it take place in a true baseball town like Boston, NYC, Philly, SF or LA
>>153799291ofc, just like no one gives a shit about Olympic cycling, soccer, tennis, etc. but it's the better bet to widen the field over the long haul and would strengthen the cache of the WBC in turn.
>More rainWhat the fuck Puerto Rico
more like Puerto Raino kek
>rain delay again
>>153799321>morongo marlins
America should develop a technology that lets you control the climate so you can have clear skies whenever you want it.

>>153799370I was typing this exact post…
>Team Israel has been eliminated from WBC contention
>>153799219It’s a shit, tacky city with shit, tacky people most of whom have migrated from the Eastern seaboard Yeah NYC, Philly, etc are also shitholes but at least they have history and character of their own, a certain grimy charm Miami has no culture to speak of. It’s only barely above Vegas. Death to Miami
>>153799389based hivemind x
>>153799383completely unrelated question but did it rain in any of Israels games?

>>153799421kino uni
>>153799426this raises a very important questionwhere would baseball island be located?
>>153799329right now, that's probably true, but in the long run it wouldn't be. MLB has a virtual monopoly on all the best talent in the world right now. If the Olympics could raise the status of the game globally in the way MLB never can, it would be better for the rest of the world, not just the US and a handful of other countries.
>>153799436Sea of Japan It will also be shielded from the typhoons that wallop Japan’s Pacific coast periodically

Should 2029 use the venue in Tampa instead of Puerto Rico? Atleast the one in Tampa has a roof.
>>153799739If the Rays get a new stadium, they'll probably get WBC games at some point
This game isn't very competitive. >>153799730It's basically treason.

Do you watch baseball while you shower?
>>153801151I listen on the radio in the shower.
>>153801151who doesn't?
>>153801166I do the same. Classicbaseballontheradio over on youslop. Also good for falling asleep to.
HOLY WITT
>>153801303there have been some amazing defensive plays tonight
Sometimes radio immerses you more than TV. Makes you wonder why.
>>153801380when you grew up with it you understand completely. back in the day we were happy to get a handful of games on tv at all, radio was the only way to stay live
>>153801398truest post in the thread award
>>153801398I think having radio around made you more patient and a better listener. TV is great, but there are some skills that radio helps you develop better.
GG Nicaragua you guys looked solid early on, but offense was lacking
insane how there are only like 3 teams, maybe 2, that can actually play properly around the pitch limits
>>15380130351st state also putting in work tonight
>>153801470true, but the radio guys also have more to describe in order for the audience to get a clear picture. announcers who do both often say that tv is actually harder because you have to know how and when to shut the fuck up
NO FUCKING WAY
>>153801398>ynr checking the foldable schedule to see if the game was televised
This is ridiculous
Did USA peak too soon tho?
>>153801592I guess baseball was more of a thing as you were older. What do people watch or listen to nowadays? Football?
>>153801398This
> paul, do you have any feelings of any kind whatsoever?> ahhh. maybe
>>153801656kek so true
>>153801511yeah I get the argument about holding back on TV play-by-plays, but the actual skill required to do the radio cast, the full description, the clear picture like you said, it still sounds incredible to hear somebody do it justice.there's an auction >my team does each year for local charity and they always auction off two bids for an inning in the booth casting play-by-play, one on TV with the tv casters, and one in the radio booth, and the radio booth bid always sells for less, but if I ever come into a sudden windfall I tell myself I'm going to buy one, and I'd want that TV spot because it just feels, I don't want to say easier per se, but I feel like I could do that. The radio casters are on another level and I'd absolutely embarrass myself.>t. everybody I've seen win the bids and do the cast has embarrassed themselves.
>>153801740lol
what happened to billy bob's face
>>153801380with the radio you have to build the mental picture in your head of what’s happening you have model the whole field and both teams in your mindon tv you just see a guy in a white shirt throw balls at a brown guy with a big ass that sticks out
AYY CARAMBA THE BEANS ARE BACK IN TOWN
its even more over for cuba
It’s gonna be US or DR this yearJapan can’t hit for shit outside their MLB players (Ohtani, Yoshida, Suzuki) and their pitching lineup is likewise shit aside from Yamamoto and Taneichi
