Are we watching CANADA and PUERTO RICO?>>153811950streamed dot pk
>>153811904why the fuck is it at 9 o'clock ffs
>>153811961without pirating
USA USA USA!>>153811950fox sports webzone or telephone application
>>153811950I'm hearing the Fox Sports App and Fox Deportes channel.
a bit insensitive against israel isn't it
>>153811993thumbnail almost looks like a German flag in the background
Not gonna lie I'm wishing for a good game between Israel and Netherlands regardless of politics
Oh shit Levenson almost killed himself on first base
>>153811965>>153811993I kinda want to goto Curacao now. Maybe catch a baseball game.
leafs/ricans in 20 bings
>>153811993he looks like the average /pol/ poster too
>>153812070I just saw that kek. The fact that it's already 2 nothing makes me worried it's going to be a slurper.
>>153812087It only takes a single hit to get a rally going, too early to call it a game
why did Bregman betray Israel?
>>153812111Judgian leadership
>>153812103oh shidd :DDDD
>>153812087There we go I told ya USAbro
The Netherlands has two runs already? That's pretty fast.
Israel on the board!
ATTENTION! It looks like Canada and Puerto Rico are about to get started.
rooting for israel
I analyzed the Randy Cal situation and I can say Randy overreacted and I bet he will apologize to Cal
>>153812199nice try, moishe.
>>153812216another case of socioeconomic factors, that's why I don't like them in my team.
isnt it a bit weird to shake hands with your teammate anyway?if it was me id give them a light punch in the arm and say "here we go big fella, im coming for you" or something to that effect
Go Puerto Rico or Go Canada?
my cubbies :)
just looked at the Israel roster and literally every player except one outfielder are Americans born in the USA.I’ve heard of using ringers but this is the first time I’ve seen an entire team made up exclusively of ringersdoes Hebrew have a word for “shame”?
hmm, watch canada vs handsome door OR women's tennis... tough choice here
>>153812234GO CANADA**even though it does not really matter as if they do not beat Cuba they are out regardless.
>>153812247A jew born outside of Israel is still a jew, this is mentioned in the Talmud.
Feels weird seeing Didi in third base
https://youtu.be/mCqLO9sTbYMserious question: was this a lovers quarrel?
What a fucking catch from Netherlands
>berrios is joining PR randomlyalright why cant we have tong then, the mets already dumped his ass back to the minors
also holy fuck im glad were running this guy now instead of tomorrow

>giving up a hit to Nolan Arenado
>>153812304this song explains it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXiRbf-4RXc
Very greedy baserunning by PR, should've held that guy in 2B
shit teams
Goddamn that Canada catcher is framing those pitches perfectly
Does Canada have Freddie Freeman? I haven't been paying attention to their team.
>>153812350no he's still at doyer spring training
>>153812350nope
How are players for each National Team's picked? Do they players ask their teams if they can go?
>>153812303collar this rat
>>153811081not that i've seen, but i've never actually looked. would be cool if they did.lowkey i might buy an old school pair
You now remember when Jose De Leon was a top pitching prospect
i see the pep talk before the game this time was "lol just have fun"
in the land of israel, before the gospels, before the cross...
>>153812447i got a cheapass digital radio and a cheapass single earpiece, works pretty well but the delay takes some getting used
>>153812447you shouldfor me it really enhances the stadium experience
this israel game is boring
lmao puerto rican baserunning
>>153812528how long is the delay?
>>153812579at gabp it's a little over 6 seconds
nice snag lmao
how is tube free without signup? whats the catch?
NEVER STOP DREAMING
im not sure how they did it, but pool A managed to bring parking the bus to baseball, its impressive
>>153812634buddy that's called the 2015 royals
puerto ricans are a festive people, jerry
Nice grab Nolan
I am sure there is at least one Japanese rock song about baseball.
>>153812528>>153812585Just pause the game until the radio broadcast catches up
tell me about the wbbl
jullien got a hit, bros!
>>153812676fuck why didn't i think of that
>>153812676lol
What year is Yadi HOF eligible? 27? 28?

its one of THOSE kind of games
>walk 40 runs
>walking in the lead
>puerto rican pitching
grand slammie would be nice to top this off
>swing at the guy that just walked 2 in
>>153812831my only consolation is that if gabp was that close to the wlw tower it would be in a god forsaken copypasted suburb
>Canadian swinging
dont tell manfred but I dont really like these tiebreaker rules
are there any goys on team israel
Big Puerto Rican bunda spotted.
it's really coming down now
>>153812913There's a gentile that's only on the team because his wife is jewish, I forgot his name.
more like puerto RAINo!
fuck off nature
They are playing in the rain just fine, whh does baseball need rain delays?
fuuug, i forgot my umbrella
>>153812884I'm telling him
This game is kino
Pour To Rico or something
Okay lets just call the game here, puerto rico is already through and it'd be nicer to just let us win so we get top seed.
>>153812931that's like half of them
So USA x Italy at 9pm? More or less determines whether Italy or mexico gets to go on. If Italy somehow pulls off an upset? Yikes. Mexicans will never hear the end of it.
Should baseball stadiums be build with a retractable roof requirement? It would make weather more manageable.
watching YouTube instead of this boring game
chudbros....
Next WBC should be only in stadiums with roofs
>>153812978Nope although most of the new stadiums are domes or have retractable roofs.
dutchbros...
>>153812978Skydome was like a billion to refurbish. Those are not cheap. Canada got one because we're Canada and there's always the chance of early fall snow to ruin people's fun.
>>153812978no and they should only delay games when lightning is expected, domes are cringe.
good work black fellasreally doing great work for your native holland
Afraid of a bit of rain.
Roofcucks fack awf
GO CANADA GO
Canada dealing!

Nice turn
>>153813057FS1
you won't believe this but it's raining in Puerto Rico
Oh fuark Israel is dealing too! 6-2 in the 6th!
>>153812978that fact that it needs to be a requirement should tell you everything about capitalism....
all it would have taken to avoid this is one simple google search "does it rain much in puerto rico?"
> davis/smoltzthank fuck for the mute button
tonys will beat the timmys
Why are they playing in the pissing rain
>>153812969Does Italy have a chance to move on if they lose?
>>153813081they were promised this game 3000 years ago
>>153813125kek
imagine being Italian kek
>>153813118Yes but they have to beat Mexico in their last group stage game
>nolan mcleanliterally who
>>153812978Weather conditions make the game more interesting. Please see the two 18 inning WS games by the dodgers to see how insane it can get.
>>153813145some FAGGets shitter
loser becomes the 51st state
>italyBut these guys are all Americans lmao
>>153813138alright, i'm imagining it. now what?
>>153812978No, roofs are eye sores and double headers (two games in one day) are kino.All of the best mlb parks don’t have roofs
can the rain stop?
>>153813138Well, Joe DiMaggio was of Italian descent. And he was one of the greatest baseball players ever.
>>153813159
There's two White Sox in the Italy starting lineup so they're the good guys today :)

>>153813838This is what it looked like in the 50s. In 1955, the Athletics would move to Kansas City, MO, becoming the westernmost team at the time.Important to note, the westward expansion of MLB was driven primarily by competitor leagues out west like the Pacific Coast League threatening MLB to go major themselves

what part of italy are you guys from?
If there's anything the WBC is doing, its exposing how many players are analytics prods that cannot even fathom hitting someone that doesn't just pitch like everyone else in the league.
>>153813942Why were team logos so much more soulful back then?
>>153813570the 5 stage box and star point counting captcha is hell for the first week or so but eventually it just changes to “select the one of these three pictures that is a different shape” and you can do it in a couple secondslike this time I had a triangle and two circles, the correct answer was triangle
>>153813942SOVL
>>153813964Yes and yes. Brownie was the Browns' mascot from 1951 to 1953. the team would relocate to Baltimore to become the current Orioles in 1954.

Are Royals fans rooting for Witt or Pasquantino?
>italian catching
>>153814060Pasquantino and Caglianone that is
>>153814028It’s weird because the Browns would be a pretty accurate name for a Baltimore team like, go to a random Baltimore street viewcount how many oriole birds you seethen count the other thing
>>153813889How's air conditioning related to baseball? Air conditioning didn't exist until the 1920s, but wasn't mass produced until the 1950s.>>153813939So the MLB was going to compete the a Pacific league? Now that could've been interesting.>>153813942Interesting.>>153814013I have to guess less digitalization. You had to work everything by hand.>>153813993Why? What happens with Utah and baseball?

BONE FOR TUNA
>>153813993I think the league has cooled on Utah due to Colorado. Elevation is perhaps not good for fielding a competitive team. Good pitchers will not sign there
This Italy team is actually good, Mexico might not even make it to the elimination round.
>>153814084>How's air conditioning related to baseball?the population of cities in the South and Southwest boomed after air conditioning allowed for homes to be built that allowed millions to live in comfort, the population boom created the market for pro sports in cities like Houston and Phoenix
i thought the US was taking the WBC seriously this time. why is a >skankees pitcher on the team?
Oh shit what are Italy/Mexico tiebreaker scenarios

>>153814160solid realignment, despite my brain thinking Portland is a National League city based on vibes
why are they doing that hand sign? you dont do that randomly, the fuck? thats like if americans shot guns in the air every time something happend
>>153814084>So the MLB was going to compete the a Pacific league?not in a million years. Keeping the already tenuous duopoly over baseball was priority number one for the National and American leagues. if they tried MLB probably could have taken them to court and won (for reference, the US Supreme Court declared in 1922 and upheld in 1953 and 1972 that MLB had federal immunity from antitrust legislation and could effectively function as a monopoly without repercussion).What it did do was show MLB the kind of market they were missing out on by not having teams out west, so they took two of the most beloved franchises in the sport (NY Giants, and the Brooklyn Dodgers who had just won their first world series in franchise history) and shipped them across the country, just so they wouldn't have to compete in the same market as the Yankees.
>>153814234kek stinkees
>fox sports narrator bashing Netherlands and mostly the USA for not engaging in the celebration of the everyman's sport as its founding nation
>>153814373Now it makes much more sense. Thanks for the explanation, Anon. How did fans feel about the move back then? Going from New York to San Francisco and Los Angeles must've been a pretty big change.
three way tiebreak is runs allowed in the games between the tied teamsat the moment USA has allowed 8, Italy 0, Mexico 5if this score somehow holds if Mexico wins 7-2 or lower then USA is outUSA might not win this but hard to imagine them not scoring at all though
>>153814364I agree with you, just too hard to fit anyone else with Seattle/Colorado
>>153814442it literally resulted in the mets being born. hence the blue and orange
>>153814442so many of them were pissed about the move and refused to support the Yankees as their only local team that MLB had to create the Mets.

>>153814485Cal Raleigh completely killed the vibe and made it cringe, now they all wanna go home
>>153814527in fact they were also the home team agains GB. something's definitely fucky. other pools also had one team be the home team in 3 games. no clue why, it's not like it's not possible to have them all have 2 home games each.
why are these shitters playing for america? what is the point of this if not to showcase the sport internationally? force these fat fucks to play in this tournament for the good of the sport or rescind their contracts, also eat the viewership and money and just broadcast it for free at like 8 pm central european time.didnt anyone learn anything from the dream team? absolute idiocy.
>Italy wins bigly>Mexico wins a low-scoring squeakerI can genuinely see this team not making it out of pools
>>153814451seattle and portland really have to be in the same league/division though. they have an inherent new york/boston rivalry that will be good for the game. colorado being a "south" team is a retarded consequence though. the rocky mountains delineate the west.
>>153814485USA's pitchers swing at everything that enters their PoV because 90% of them don't know how to get on base.
jeez
>>153814652Lmao I love the the WBC but the competitive balance team makeup withstanding is a fucking joke
>>153814364I think it feels natural that Seattle, Portland, and Oakland are all in the same division.
>>153814670Technically Denver is on the east side of the Rockies. Still counts!
>>153814515reminder that the italian nightmare is hitting 40 home runs this year with the walls moving in at kaufman
>>1538145065-0 doesn't look good in any sense for baseball. They might be coasting and may not care much about this game, but this shouldn't be the case against the Italian baseball team.>>153814560That's what the score is telling me they have been playing like. Hopefully they get some life in them to at least make this not a complete blow out game.
I've never been to Denver. I used to think John Denver was from there, but he's actually from Roswell, New Mexico.
this might end up being a merci rule
>>153814728>Oaklandyeah, well, about that
world groundout classic
>>153814777denver is fine. the better parts of colorado are west and south though
>>153814744yeah the state feels west so it is west.
>>153814505
mike piazza and tommy lasorda are sucking each others cocks in heaven right now hoping the scoreline holds
>>153814779lel
>Brock Dykxhoornthank god whitt decided to throw this game on purpose instead of tomorrows
>pasquatch grounds out to Bobby Witt
>>153814847MLB The Show cover athlete worthy
if USA loses to Italy does that mean they can’t go to the World Series?
>>153814007Spaghetti
>>153814847Dick Trickle was a funnier name
>jews beat the dutch
>>153814863I've got a dick horn for ya!
>>153814887if mexico flattens italy by like 15, yeah
Italy has stealthily been a good team
>>153814728>OaklandDESU as a Dbacks secondary (I know) you could probably swap them for the Angels. I feel like that'd be more historically valid. 2 California PCL teams, 2 California ex-NYC teams, and the AL West is the up-and-coming division>>153814670Rockies are just sadly in no man's land geographically. There's already 7 "west coast" teams before adding a hypothetical Portland and unless you wanna boot Arizona or LV to a southern division they're really the logical choice. I will say to hell with this a bit and I know it's going to rankle some long-term fans but.. the AL/NL dichotomy is a difference in name only at this point. You could do 3 10-team divisions, 4 8-team divisions, etc.
The face that will haunt millions of american dreams tonight.
no one is actually rooting for the USA, right?
US definitely fielding a subpar lineup tonight but 0 runs is insane. I can't believe we might have another Korea-Australia type payoff
I CAN'T SCORE
I have seen enoughThey had to lump Venezuela and DR together so that they wouldn't devour this tournament
>>153815029They're a soulless teamTrue WBC connisueres are rooting for the teams with soul
tfw no one watching the Canada game
>>153813838need a new team in Louisiana called the New Orleans Hurricanes. Mascot is flood water beer looter guy Boise Idaho could use a potato themed team, the mascot could be a farm girl with big potatoes stuffed in her shirt, everyone could call them The Ho’s
>>153814994Can we just call him and those other dago traitors to the state now?
>>153815078Going for a big > but I think Venezuela has a huge chance against Japan. You guys definitely got the more exciting half of the bracket
scuba kek
>>153815086I was
>>153815079fair or not, everyone else has always felt like the underdog against the United States the entire history of this tournament.
>PCAWhat does the C stand for?
>Team USA losing on Mario DayWe're never going to hear the last of this. Especially if this is how it eliminates us from the tournament.
>>153815151i-it's still going
I support the expansion and improvement of the WBC. We need more baseball teams, and make baseball more popular as well.
>>153815177crap, i believe
>>153815117Tomorrow is gonna be a huge day vs DR, I hope it'll be a close one
we're actually gonna lose this shit aren't we
I want to hit Zachary Levi in the head with a stone using a sling made from sheepskin.
Team USA really thought they could field mid pitchers against Italy and win.
>>153815177Chimp
>>153815029>>153815079traitors
Now pitching for Canada: 6 foot 8 Brock Dykxhoorn
>>153815211no part of you was happy for Lorenzon?
the funniest thing is, if italy wins this they have incentive to throw on purpose in their last game
>>153815235And there it is.
kek we're throwing to eliminate mexicothis "italian" team isn't italian either, it's just larpers who aren't even citizens
KYLE TEEL
>>153815243i was happy when he hit that home run for his dad, i don't need him to stomp our national team's shit
>>153815087New Orleans isn't big enough for 3 teams, and even having both an NFL and NBA team is stretching that market.
a fudgian fumble
Already 2 people ded in first baseItaly :(
NOOOOOOOOOOO
>>153815208I can see you guys winning there too. After Japan-Korea and USA-Mexico, DR-Venezuela was my most anticipated pool matchup. Good luck bro
>>153815086PR v Canada is the /comfy/ game.
is keller REALLY the best reliever you have?
>Teel injuredMotherfucker
>>153815284We cant ever have anything nice....
>>153815079PR and DR here.
>>153815327Messi and who?
alright here we go, get some insurance on the board
>Taiwans crying when they win a game>Japan tearing for Korean MLB teammates>Italians doin the lil cheek kiss thing in dugout HR celebrations>US won't even fist bump other teamsI desperately wanna see these no-fun-allowed tryhards eliminated in pools
KELLER YOU FUCKING SHITHEAD
WHAT THE FUCK
KWABAROOOO
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA WERE GOING TO GET THROUGH AND YOURE NOT
Good. Fuck Brad Keller, i hate that fucking guy and he deserves it.
What is with Philthies pitchers and fielding
Not even the Czechs did this shithousery wtfThis is Harper's fault I know it
>>153815319
keller is fucking dogshit, even I could have told you that
Starting to think US sandbagged to stop Mexico and it's backfiring wildly
7-07-07-07-07-07-0
US is the most sovlless team in WBC
MERCY. PLEASE.
Genuinely respecting Italy for not holding back
Mercy rule soon.
Please fuck my burger ass.
i would start booing. no joke
why didn't the american team take these americans? they seem so much better
please god if america gets mercy killed you will NEVER hear the end of it
Hopefully it was just a precautionary thing with Teel. Also Antonacci is awesome. Hes been doing stuff like that all spring. I hope he can carry this momentum into the season.
PURO CINE ITALIANO HOLY SHIT
DID THEY JUST LET HIM STEAL HOME?WHAT ARE THESE YANKEES REJECTS DOING ON THIS TEAM?
>>153815208I have nothing against Venezuela but I’m hoping DR wins because I don’t want Japan to have to face DR in the quarters.if you beat Japan in the quarterfinals, well that’s just the way it goes, but if Japan gets steamrolled by DR while Korea somehow beats you and advances, god we’ll never hear the end of their gloatingI don’t think Japan is going to be the champions this year but as a matter of principle I don’t want Korea to end up getting fartherI admit to my pettiness and point out that I am a fat stupid davido-kun gaijin and don’t intend to speak for any Japanese people.
Only mexipacos can save team USA now hahahahahahahahahah
>>153815484Did you not watch it? He pulled his hamstring. You could see him pull up rounding 1st

Lifelong Italian baseball fan here. My Great-grandpa's brother in law was from Sicily. We take our heritage very seriously.
>>153815489You mean Phillies?
get this fucking idiot julien off my team now, hes a liability
8 4 00 2 2that's some twilight zone shit
>>153815512no, the US needs Italy to beat Mexico
hatemob
>>153815507I don't mind your post but I am sorry to say we will still win em all, you will have to just bite your nails during the anxiety
Reminder that US A lineup only scored 5 runs against a single Mexican pitcher yesterday after taking a liner off the ankle
Do the americans just want to go home?
>Bobby whiff
>naylori HATE the mariners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where in Italy are you guys from?
>Keknada
Comeback starts now
Is this worse or better than 7-1
>>153815604better. if it was a knockout game, MUCH worse
Potential rally forming here
NEW>>153813050>>153813050>>153813050
>>153815531I am honored and grateful that you have told me about your heritage and the circumstances of your great grandfather’s sister’s wedding. I hope that her first child was a masculine child.
>>153815604Worse in the sense that the talent levels between these teams are not especially closeBetter in the sense that it's just pool play and may ultimately end up meaningless instead of a final
>>153815597Southside Chicago
a fudgian lineout
>>153815604nowhere near as bad as 7-1 and you know it
>>153815571Whatever the outcome, I accept it. If you win, it is because your team has earned it.
>>153815604might be worse, if mexico wins by 3 tomorrow america is out
MIGRATE:>>153793361
I keep seeing people say that if we lose this and then Mexico wins we're knocked out. Can someone explain that to me? I don't see how it could be true. In that scenario both teams are 3-1 in the group and we won the head-2-head.
>>153815708>>153815708>>153815708New
>>153815715you didn't win the head to head against italy
>>153815761But two teams advance, no? We can't finish below Mexico, we beat them.
>>153815715https://www.mlb.com/world-baseball-classic/2026-standingstldr head 2 head doesn't matter in a three way tie unless you beat both
>>153815791if mexico beat italy, italy beat the US, and the US beat mexico, that's a rock-paper-scissors situation isn't it? you can't use head to head
>>153814961>I know it's going to rankle some long-term fans but.. the AL/NL dichotomy is a difference in name only at this point. You could do 3 10-team divisions, 4 8-team divisions, etcyou're god ddamn right i'm rankled what the FUCK ARE YOU DOING TO MY BAYBAW
