pfff RISPies don't scare me
italy's pitcher needs to stop hitting batters
italy’s mysterious strength may comes from the lack of pressure they feel because no one including themselves expects them to win

>>153864317that's because the good ones are castiza, meaning mostly white. there are less indio's in the caribbean nations than say Mexico or other central american nations, because they had a browner indigenous population to mix with. and most of the nigger bred leftover slaves descendants aren't very good because basically no nation actually bred their slaves except america. america literaly bred a race of athletic freaks because it took so long to get them here, and america only had 3% of the slaves transported from africa. the overwhelming majority went to spain, portugal, and the middle east (but of course you never hear about it). so those nations didn't have to breed their slaves, they could just kill them and get another next week at Slave-Mart.

>>153865197And a rematch, would have cool implications on both sides. But yeah, baseball evaluation/scouting is ultimately a huge crapshoot where you can identify talent or skill but never seem to know if that will translate into being a useful player or not. See all those minor league flamethrowers who can't locate shit, or the ones who can locate everything but they throw 80mph. That's why there was that one stat about a player being however many more times likely to get picked in the draft and eventually make an MLB roster if his father played in MLB vs otherwise.

>>153865317>italyi dont wanna be the "not real italians!!!1!" redditor since italians are not even a real people, more like a forced aggregate of lombard, venetians, romans, napolitans, sardinians etc...but all of those team italy guys would definitely play for team USA if they had the chance, so the concept of "italians" being good at baseball doesnt really make much sense
>>153865426>paying for porn
>>153865281right, but it's about getting the chance, and like i said last night, there are a million reasons why a TALENTED ENOUGH player never gets a chance, compared to something like NBA or even NFL where there's way less "minor league" development and if you are talented, you are able to not only play as a rookie, but start and even be one of the best players in the league right away. you can do this right out of high school or even after just one year of college. that's simply not happening in mlb EVEN IF a player was talented enough. there's just too much to go thru that most fans don't consider. they make a REALLY big deal out of the "process" because it's about trying to make money for your farm league teams, scouts, etc etc etc.it's a business first and foremost and while it's easy to think "lol if a guy is good enough, he will 100% get his chance in the majors" and that's just not even close to true. there are literally thousands and thousands of people good enough who never get a chance and decide it's not worth the struggle of the minors and hoping a guy above you gets injured, suspended, etc etc. most of these guys just quit and enter the "real world", tho playing overseas is more an option these days. as the classic scene from Bull Durham puts it:>You know what the difference between hitting 250 and 300 is? It's 25 hits. 25 hits in 500 of bats is 50 points. Okay. There's six months in a season. That's about 25 weeks. >That means if you get just one extra flare a week, just one a gork. You get a a ground ball. You get a you get a ground ball with eyes. You get a dying quail. Just one more dying quail a week and you're in Yankee Stadium.the gap is actually quite a bit smaller than people think it is, compared to other sports. this is why you see such insane slumps and crazy heaters, it's a very difficult game that even the "best" aren't actually "good" at, it's a matter of sucking less than everyone else.

>>153865577my dad played college ball, was being scouted. he played with a guy that eventually won a world series in the 80's growing up, basically his entire life. that guy has told me personally stories about plenty of players "good enough" unironically my dad included. i played a bit of college but got tired of the game. i had a coach that was a former yankee and an absolute stud in college. he told me tons of stories that back this up as well. so while i haven't talked to very many major leaguers, the ones i HAVE personally spoke to about the game all say this. there's also just simply the mental aspect. you aspect of "gamers" is a really big in baseball, which is also why scouting baseball is an absolute crapshoot compared to NFL or especially NBA. sure there are the occasional busts in the NBA, but almost every number one pick at least makes the NBA roster, is a starter, usually becomes an all-star, etc etc. compared to baseball where a shitton of number one overall picks literally never even make an MLB roster. it's just way different to be able to perform under the conditions of the major league. it's a very mental game and lots of guys with plenty of physical talent fail at that aspect. it's way more like billiards or golf in that aspect.
>>153865626We’re one of the world’s most important port cities anon and the city itself is massive. We have all the races you could ask for.
>>153865292USA, DR, Japan, and Venezuela is the big 4The next tier would be Curacao/Aruba (Netherlands), Cuba, South Korea, Canada, Mexico, Colombia, Puerto RicoThen after that would be Nicaragua, Panama, TaiwanAustralia is borderline meme-tier but they had a first overall pick in MLB so you can put them in tier 3
>>153865649again, "italians" dont exist.given the demographics of "italians" who emigrated to the US, you're likely a full blooded sicilian.nothing against you personally but i'm lombard and despise sicilians

>swinging at that shit
>>153864418You will never have an Asian gf Timmy
white bros...theyre appropriating our culture
Holy shit I just tuned in and it's 4-2 Italy? Italy has shown so much more passion and effort than USA, and I dare say that they're better right now. They're red-hot on fire with a lot of momentum. Meanwhile Team USA looks bored and act like they want to be in Spring Training instead. They can beat Team USA, but can they tackle Japan or DR?! I don't think so. Top 4 is pretty nuts though.
>>153865706Real Italians have never been tried
I like the the Puerto Rican uniform.The best uniform in the tournament
>>153865720USA takes the attitude of their leader (sludge)
>>153865722>Why are Israelis dying out?!
If Puerto Rico becomes a state at some point, will the PR players only be American players or will they still have their own national team?
Get Ireland in the wbc next, just a bunch of Irish-Americans from NE, could be kino
>>153865750probably still PR for the wbc, but USA for the olympics
>>153865720I agree.The US lacks hassle, their managers suck and they removed kershaw without giving him a chance to pitch.I fucking hope Americans will get eliminated by DR.
>>153865750I think they would continue to play as their own separate country for the WBC, like how Curacao/Bonaire and the like have their own soccer teams
cuba kek
La plaia awaits
>>153865656>>153865577and to expand even more, what this guy said about the "family name" is definitely a massive advantage. my family grew up around a particular family that has produced many professional athletes, both male and female. they had all these factors going for them:>wealthy>an established "brand" as a known family of athletes>scouts circling their names from the time they are 9 years oldoddly enough, a guy in this family just went number one in the draft. we'll see if/when he hits the majors, but i'm betting he definitely makes it. BUT, one of the biggest reasons he went number one wasn't *necessarily* because he was the "best" or most talented, there's a lot of reasons why, including him being an underslot pick, and having the established family name in his favor. >>153865281
>>153865824kek I read this as 'scuba kek' and then laughed even harder lol
whenever americans try to have fun they do it in a really gay way so i'm fine with fudge forcing the team to be lame
>>153865845holy reddit
>>153865656Interesting. It makes me wonder why such situation happens. I haven’t seen many NFL or Basketball so I can’t say for sure, but baseball seems to require more unique skills than football or basketball so I was assuming it’s easier for talented baseball players to “stand out” than their rivals
>>153865750Fifa recognizes more territories as separate national teams than the UN
>>153865292>CubaCuba used to be good but it has absolutely collapsed. They've burned through everything from before the communist revolution and have no more resources to support a world class baseball program
>>153865842You from California? Feels like 75% of American baseball players come from there.
>>153865842youre kinda acting like family is just a namethis happens in all sport and its because of genetics. some families just have elite geneticsplus then think about some random Joe Blogs giving his 5 year old son baseball coaching versus an ex MLB player, when youve been at the top you know how to train, what to train and what mindset to instill. from a young age their kids will have better foundations than other kids

>>153866022baseball is 2 innings of shit, 5 innings of fuck all, then 2 innings of shit
>>153865897nah, you can def figure it out from my last post lol. just look up who got drafted first overall last year and where he's from. >>153865912no, i'm not saying it's JUST family name, but that is a factor, typically a big one. and of course that includes genetics, training, access to both pro players AND pro facilities, etc etc etcin the NBA, say you've got two guys get hurt at a single position. you have to call someone up. you've got your G-League team and....that's pretty much it. unless you pick up a guy who got dropped from another team, if you are on that G-League team, you are being called up. while that's USUALLY true in baseball, it's not always, because you've got like 4 layers of minor leagues, and the "best" guy might not be in a position to be called up all the way, you have way more people ahead of you on the depth chart, etc etc. it's just harder to break into the mlb than other leagues. and it's very, very rare for guys to skip a level of the minors, typically only pitchers do that and even then it's very rare.
>>153866022you know how americans always say "soccer is boring" and get lectured on the nuances of the game? you are being the american.
can’t believe it’s only the bottom of the fourth
>2 hours in>its the bottom of the 4ththats baybow!
>>153866022baseball is about the chance. ever pitch COULD lead to something. the suspense is the entire game. it's better than soccer because 98% of the time in soccer they are just playing keep-away and not even actively trying to score.

>>153866097soccer objectively IS boring. if there was a shot clock like in basketball, soccer would be way better. until i actually watched soccer, i assumed it was like hockey where the goalie was making 20-30 saves per game, and guys were taking shots on goal throughout the entire game. it wasn't until i actually watched enough soccer to realize goalies literally average 2-3 saves PER GAME and basically no team even shoots more than like 5 times. that's insane, and you can't convince me if teams weren't basically FORCED to shoot like basketball, soccer scores wouldn't start being like 10-15. the "difficulty" of the game is completely artificial because teams literally don't even try to score.
the breakfast
This fucking game lmao
>>153866221That was a homerun. He fucked them out of a grand slam.
It is so over now
HAHAHAHAHA WHAT A HITMEME GAME LETS GO
well that interference didn't matter anyway lol
Is Pro Sprits better than MLB The Show now?
Italy is playing where if they just went a teeny bit smoother they can mercy rule PR but got a little sloppy on pitches, I think they are feeling the pressure of being so close. These last at bats are a lot more like it, letting walks come to them.>>153866014I need this timeline in my veins. Imagine the sick Gucci jerseys and new Dolce & Gabbana that would be controversially the new team uniforms.
Alright, moot point now LOL
pr in absolute shambles
OHNONONONO PRFAGS HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
OH SHIT ITALY GOING FOR THE RUNN RUUULLLLEEEEEEE
IT'S OVER AIIIIYEEEEE
MY BORICUA ASS! FUCK IT NOW!
Mercy incoming
ALL OF THIS HAPPENED ON 2 OUTSFUCKING KEK
In honor of my Italian friends I shall eat a pizza
>>153866234do you just not own a blender or a coffee machine
>pull rivera>instantly collapse
Based
If that shit caromed off the wall, you think more than 2 score?
i hope he's getting ejectedfuckin idiot
>>153866223Patriot trying to help out our Territory
italy will skullfuck japan
Boricua sisters...
Could Italy beat Japan?
i'm not sure why the pitcher gave mr. tennessee a pitch down broadway with 2 strikes. that kid was full of adrenaline ready to swing at anything. breaking ball away ends the inning every time
>>153866232I agree that soccer is boring but it is more aesthetically pleasing to watch the passing and dribbling in soccer than the equivalent in basketball or ice hockey, and sports are more pleasant to watch on a large green field, as we see in baseball and american football.
>>153866275I hope he's being ass raped in the stands right now.. sitting in section 1992 of course
>>153866022Well looks like I manifested something happening>>153866104The one thing I don't like is that you are either attacking or defending by law, there is no feeling of counter-attack or anything like that
>>153866269no blenderbut simply dont want to spend any time making food while the ball game is on
>>153866267Pasquantino should have struck out too
>>153866234For that price you could have bought a big chuck steak, a dry rub, and some charcoal, and would enjoy it much more
>>153866022This is exactly why you watch
i wish there was an actual national team taking "italy" spot.some of the teams had less americans than italy has italians
>>153866298KWAB
>>153866286Can Japan even beat Venezuela?
FUCK MY BORICUA ASS!
Can one single Italian poster stop saying I am bored and just pretend to be excited and give me FORZA ITALIA!Its just for vibes bro I am not mad.
is PR throwing at italy now that was awfully close
>>153866310a good steak doesnt need and shouldnt have dry rub
Are you #BeanedUp?
what happened for italy to go from 4 to 6? was watching golf
>>153866213absolutely, i'm grabbing that shit i don't care. if you go back to the 2020 braves vs dodgers, game 6, when mookie makes THAT catch, you can see me sitting as close as we were allowed to sit. and had i been in the first row (which was covered and unavailable) i would have def just leaned over and caught that shit.
Italy winning it all
Thinking about bunch Italians watching for the first time with no idea what is going on
What is he thinking right now?
score would've been the same regardless on if the fan interfered or not lol
PRtards? Your RISPonse?
>>153866359lol just because they beat PR and Mexico?
>>153866344grand slam robbed by a fan for a 2, then another double for another 2
>>153866366He'll probably be managing the team in the future
>>153866344see>>153866136>>153866222>>153866196
>>153866344ground-rule double after a retarded beaner interfered with a grand slam
>>153866232how entertaining soccer is depends on the style of play of the teams involved. premier league in the late 90s early 2000s was my favorite and probably what made the league as popular as it is today. lots of fast-paced bombing down the sidelines to get a cross in. now most teams play from the back with side to side passes slowly and deliberately and it does my head in. i rarely watch soccer outside of international tournaments these days
>>153866377and US, the most talented roster!
>>153866377you missed a team
What team is more American: PR or Italia?
>>153866328FORZA ITALIAITALIA IRREDENTA ITALIA MIAIL PAESE CHE AMO
oh shit the jew ad
>the key to winning WBC is to have a bunch or young kids who want it more & can get going faster than regular mlb players and led by a veteran mlb clubhouse leaderhuh, who would’ve thought
>>153866147be nice to the hapa
>>153866397>>153866402we weren't even trying i wouldn't look too deep into that "win"
>>153866396the only exciting football to watch now is in Latin america the world cup will be kino though because generally national teams dont play pepball
Is Gio Scotti watching this game? Is she aware that Italy has a baseball team?
>>153866234i respect that you're just fucking going for it. personally, i'd have the burg and black coffee or the smoothie and black coffee or simply black coffee
Will Ohtani have the dignity to kill himself if Japan loses to Italy in baseball?
>>153866409
>>153866419
>>153866444he won them the last onei doubt there's any shame in that
VinnyP with another crazy stretch whew
>>153866362s-stop thinking about m-me
Do you guys think Stefi is watching
>>153866431I eat rolled oats and instant coffee during the week so dont mind a lil treat on the weekends
Puerto Rico was never good (this year)they were lucky to even get out of their group
Why isn't Lindor playing?
>Baseball players aren't athletic
>>153866444they're not beating venezuela
here's how puerto rico can still win:
>>153866234>not cooking while watching baseballbro. i just made mashed potatoes, gravy, and pork schnitzel. what are you doing?
>>153866472BANNED
>>153866426>granny pantiesYikes
so does this mean that MLB teams will sign the team Italy guys now?is this just like a really good audition tape for these fellas?
>>153866444Ohtani will accept the salami of whoever delivers the game winning RBI
why do first basepersons do the splits instead of simply leaning?
>>153866472Lindor and Correa (and a bunch of other players) aren’t playing because the insurance won’t cover it so their teams forbade them.
>>153866483most of this team is in the MLB already
>>153866472PED suspension
>>153866472hurt, but can playthere is something to do with insurance where the WBC doesn't insure people recovering from injuries.
>>153866483most of these guys are already MLB players. you just didn't notice because they're on teams like the Royals lol
Ohtani is an Italian name
>>153866479watching the game and posting
>>153866495lol just jewish things
>>153866444if ohtani had any dignity he wouldn't have signed with the doyers. it's insane he went from arguably one of the worst teams in the league, and if he wasn't completely wasted with the Angels he would likely be on literally ANY other team than the dodgers lmao. but the angels sucked SO BAD he was like "fuck it, i'm winning now i don't care"Ohtani to the Dodgers is KD to the Warriors tier and i'm tired of pretending it's not.
>>153866465good choice, enjoy your weekend brekkie chief
some are saying PR needs more runs than Italy to win the game
>>153866507Why would that not be noticed? Are you admitting to being a casual fan?
>>153866512Ohtanio
just came back from a power outage holy fuck what did i miss? Did Italy just pop off?
its actually over
>>153866517>Ohtani to the Dodgers is KD to the Warriors tier and i'm tired of pretending it's not.bad comparison basketball is a very selfish team sport
>>153866534it was really funny
this shit was over after the 1st inning. Puerto Rico can't hit a lick
>>153866534You missed the Great Enbeanering of the WBC
>>153866512now batting for team italy, Shoheilini Ohtanzione
>>153866507Sam Antonacci and Kyle Teel are from the Chicago White Sox as well.
>>153866534check under your bed. someone stole all your banana leaf savings
>>153866534Fuck my boricua ass
>>153866530more because nobody cares about the flyover team players
>>153866517Weird how the municipality of Los Angels Englels have ruined 2 great players with Mike and Shohei
>>153866530I am I just started watching :)
>>153866513NOT EVEN FIRING UP THE BARBIE, MATE?!
>>153866566Non casuals would care? just admit you aren't a real fan of baseball
>>153866571based, welcome leaf bro
smile because it happened
>>153866472the people who insure these massive mlb contracts for non-mlb games have a few requirements to qualify. i don't remember the precise requirements, but i think lindor specifically was denied because he had two surgeries on the same body part within a certain number of years. i could be making this up.
>>153866561kek
I appreciate the comic relief obese bat boy
I want to fuck a big booty boricua ass
>>153866567they are a literal mickey mouse franchise, whose only interest is making money. there are countless professional sports franchises who clearly don't give a fuck about winning if they make enough money.ironically, actually winning makes the most money, but yeah insane they never even made a single postseason. goes to show you that 2 of the literal best players of all time isn't enough in baseball.
>>153866566>frontrunning bandwagoner with no morals or characters who only watches the dodgers thinks everyone else is as ignorant as himYou bandwagoners truly are the worst.
my gausy mentioned on the WBC broadcast
>>153866512what would "fettuccine ohtani" consist of?
>>153866517Ohtani is bitchmade and proved it with his free agency. Wanting to win is no sin, but loudly telling New York teams he had no interest in the East Coast is such bitch shit I can't even believe he wasn't publicly crucified for it. Basically signaling to everyone that I won't sign with the Angels, but also won't sign unless I'm guaranteed to win, but also not unless I'm super safe and comfy and insulated from any and all criticism.My respect for him as a man fucking plummeted when he said he wouldn't be able to play for the Mets.
>>153866578that was pre roid ohtani.
for me it's italian girls with big booba
>>153866584It was something like this, but not the same body part.He had a toe surgery after 2025, and a hand surgery in 2024. Meanwhile the same insurance Jews underwrite Byron Buxton's glass knees. So it was bullshit. Lindor's recent hamate surgery was only found to be needed after the WBC denial.
>>153866517>Ohtani to the Dodgers is KD to the Warriors tier and i'm tired of pretending it's not....I was going to disagree but that's kind of a reasonable take. Imagine if he went to San Francisco or San Diego
>>153866615seethe more lol
>>153866666FUCK MY BORICUA ASS
>>153866592Why doesn't the League actually fire the fraud GMs such as the ones from the White Sox and the Englels? They're multibillionaire failures who could lose 90% of their money and still live like kings with full expenses anywhere on the world.The game is bigger than them, so if they can't perform just sack 'em and just place a fresher and competitive man.
>>153866615>Bootyblasted Metsbabby still GAPED over The ShowtaniKWAB
>>153866615he without a doubt started roiding during the covid year and absolutely no one will ever convince me otherwise. see >>153866617 and pic relatedhe checks EVERY box for a roided player. >insane physical transformation? yep>recovers from injury insanely fast? yep>comes back better than ever? yep >does things never been done before? yepi'm not saying he isn't talented or isn't the greatest of all time, but he's clearly roided and it's hilarious no one calls this out. and yes, obviously players still roid and no, mlb will NOT give a shit if the top teir players do it. nando was the exception.
When the Mets miss the playoffs again, I bet the fire Mendoza and hire Cervelli.
>nori is he Japanese?
should puerto rico have brought in edwin diaz with 2 outs and the bases loaded at 4-2?
I’d 8-2 to be boricua
>>153866678You're thinking of Aoki. This is Dante.
>>153866674>he without a doubt started roiding during the covid yeari'm convinced every athlete roids in the offseason and only the dumbest of the dumb get popped.
he's been to Italy, that's nuts
>>153866664>>153866670>I only want pray for team who win and gets arr my nipponjin tomodachi in the roster>And no media scrutiny so Ippei-chan can gamble for me!He's a fraud. I liked him when he played the field and pitched. Glorified DH shit is lame as hell especially in a superteam >>153866668It is on the Jew owners who direct their GMs
>>153866698mild kek
How many of the players have actually stepped foot in italy?I feel like that has to be a requirement going forward
UhItaly knows they're supposed to be a soccer country right?
where is nu tho
>muh mercenary te-Actually, he has been to Italy on a family trip. Checkmate, atheists
>>153866743the requirement is that you automatically qualify for citizenship.
>the rest of the game is going to be talking about how crazy it is Italy is winningI’m all for Italy here, but that’s literally all anyone has talked about with this team since the USA/ITA game.
>>153866674Check his jaw too, obviously grew because of the roids like Bonds. I even respect Bonds but it's embarrassing the lengths Manfraud goes to to protect Shogei
America's C-squad of Italian descent can't be stopped
>>153866754And yet the French players on their World Cup team born in France itself are considered mercs . Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
>>153866752dont bother. its over
No hate to Shohei but he genuinely was going to lose after Bichette brought him deep to center field with that 3-run homer yet the Blow Gays somehow choked one of their strongest starts.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSsxHvluh1A
>>153866684Yes so he could break his leg celebrating getting out of it>t. Met fan
>>153866783*merccas
OOOHGABAGOOL
commentators are trying a bit too hard trying to speak spanish
>>153866764Your team sucks migapedo
>>153866735
MAUNABO MENTIONED
>>153866833>I'm an illiterate zoomerYour kind will be the first to die
>>153866645the only major difference imo is that OKC actually had a great team around KD. especially when you consider Al Horford said he was going to sign in OKC. so they would have had:>westbrook>roberson>durant>horford>adamswith a pretty stacked bench with:>oladipo>sabonis>jerami grant>kanter>taj gibsonBUT WAIT! the next year they would trade Oladipo and Sabonis for Paul George, meaning *they traded assets they already had, which means they could have made that trade WITH Kevin Durant still on the roster*. that would have given them:>westbrook>paul george>kevin durant>al horford>steven adamsas their starting 5. i don't give a FUCK who they have on the bench, that team is the obvious favorite to win it all, especially considering in this timeline Golden State doesn't have Durant. AND, unlike Trout/Ohtani Angels, OKC had made the playoffs every year, and made deep runs, including a Finals trip in 2012. they lost the eventual champs like every year, too. >2010 lost to the champion lakers>2011 lost to the champion Mavs>2012 lost in the finals to the champion Heatles>2013 lost to the Grizz (not this year, but that's when Westbrook got Pat Bev'd)>2014 lost to the champion Spurs>2015 kd hurt and missed playoffs>2016 lost to the champion dubsokc made the WCF 3 out of 4 years. okc had basically 3 years with a healthy Westbrook and Durant, made the Finals one year and CHOKED to the 73-9 Dubs (they had them down 3-1). that makes KD much, much worse considering the Thunder were nothing like the absolute dog shit Angels, and even had a current plan (like getting Paul fucking George) to keep a great team around Durant. he was just a bitch.
words
Can the Italians beat the Japanese?
>>153866636hnngg the way she even peaks at her jiggling booba cuz she gets off on how hot she is.
>>153866856time to put down the keyboard mate
>team Italy comprised of Americans is beating team Puerto Rico who are also technically American>this comes after team USA beat team Canada who are soon to be American last and team DR who are basically American beat team Korea where half the team are American born KoreansIt’s all America vs America until Japan
>>153866865not even sure the japanese game beat venezuela based on how both teams have been playing
Can we play these scrubs every week now? This is nice.
>>153866856Do-- do you really think KD, Westbrook and PG could play together? There's only one ball and that's just a step below the actual Big 3 they assembled in terms of ball-neediness.
>>153866615to be fair, the Angels aren't that far above the Mets. he clearly wanted to play for a winner, so while there's plenty of other teams he could have chosen instead of the Dodgers, i'm sorry to say the Mutts aren't one of them.
>>153866856I read all of that and I thank you for the context.
>>153866888Could the final really be US-Italy? Lmao
>>153866887>DR who are basically Americanhow do you figure that?
>>153866856ohtani knew he couldn't win with trout the way durant knew he couldn't win with westbrook. you simply have to cut bait and move on if you're stuck with those losers.
>>153866708yeah i mean that's objectively true. hell my fucking high school coach was telling me to roid, and i thought he was joking until i realize he wasn't.
>The World Meatball Classic
>>153866865Yamamoto pitches tonight so he's probably done for the tourney. Italy does have a shot.
>>153866795jays had like 5 chances to win that game and blew ALL of them. all time choke job actually.
To badda-bing? Or to badda-boom?
>>153866918>hell my fucking high school coach was telling me to roid, and i thought he was joking until i realize he wasn't.kek you must've gone to one of those ultra completive high schoolsmy coach literally lectured us on NOT using roids
>>153866891yes because PG is a better defender (at that point, he was a great defender) than a guy like Harden was and those 3 literally made the NBA Finals. so yeah, i do.
>>153866897I'm saying it's mega cringe that he basically said >Oh fuck Anaheim I only want to play for the DoyersWhile ruling out teams like the Mets, Yankees, Red Sox, Cubs and Jays because "uh muy wets coast! ;)" when really he's just a bitch who wanted the team which was already stacked. Ohtani would have signed with the fucking Astros if they wanted him, he's a loser who chases glory but can't be assed to build anything on his own. You think those NY teams wouldn't have been instant favorites adding Ohtani? Of course they would have and they'd have made a great run at the least, but the degenerate gambler just wanted to win regardless of how gay a a fashion it was in.
>>153866881blows my mind zoomers think typing "long" posts takes a while. i type at like 120 wpm lol that was like a 2 minute post. meanwhile you aren't even firing up the barbie.
c'mon Puerto Rico, make it a ballgame
>>153866965different sport but my coach didn't tell us to roid, he would continually tell us if we weren't cheating then we were playing at a disadvantage because every other team was>he was an ex-pro that had also coached a number of pro teams
>>153866942Their baserunning was especially fucking egregious that game, yeah.
>>153866890hai gufato
>no outsthis could be bad
>>153866967I was talking about Melo/Russ/PG which wouldn't have worked even if Melo was willing to catch and shoot or come off the bench. PG was never a better defender than Olympic Melo
VINNY NO.
>>153866903They are very close to America and even closer to American territories and thus have a ton of cultural overlap. Most DR born ballplayers are specifically striving for playing in the American big leagues and not a national DR league so they spend a ton of time over here.
Chance for a double play for Italy though
comeback rally is about to start, get in
just cracked open a 4 loko
WBC stands for Wop Big Cock
>>153866980You're just having a meltdown because he didn't choose your team. Please calm down
>>153867053How is it possible to choke on 2 inch Jap roid cock? Because I hear you slurping from here
>>153867039did you mix it with coffee?if not its not a real 4 loko
>announcers say Italy had 0 errors>immediately commit multiple
>>153866980yeah i agree, but even with his West Coast preference, he still could have chosen San Fran, San Diego, hell even the fucking A's lmao. >you think those NY teams wouldn't have been instant favorites? oh of course, the same way the Mutts are "instant favorites" every year by the jewish sports media and then they ....well fall apart like the mets always do. zero chance Ohtani wins a ring with the Mets, because they are the Mets. literally every other NL East team has a ring since the Mutts last world series win.
I guess at this point Italy is the favorite
>>153867003if your point can't be effectively made in 3 lines or less then its probably nonsense
>>153867068what
>>153864224Team Italy AKA Team USA II
>>153867086add coffee to it niggayou heard me
>>153867039Gave me heartburn just reading this
arenado, bum of the night, on deck
SOMEONE BAKE A NEW BREAD
>>153867081Of course their team is full of Americans.
>>153867087>and Team Puerto Rico, a USA territory, so also technically Americanit’s USA(Pasta flavor) vs USA(Caribbean flavor)
>>153867022>PG never a better defender than Olympic Meloyeah i mean uh....objectively Paul George was a better defender than any version of Melo, albeit Melo was a different animal in olympic play (mainly cuz his long 2's were now 3's). In that timeline, KD never leaves and thus OKC never even tries to get Melo, so it's pointless to think about for the sake of my argument. and, as you said, Melo/Russ/PG mainly didn't work because Melo refused to acknowledge he just needed to stand in the corner and wait for a pass from Westbrook. aaaand if you go back and watch that Jazz series, OKC got hosed. PG got fouled shooting a 3 twice in the final minute of game 5 (i think it was game 5....) and didn't shoot FT's on either one.
>Arenadoinning over
Why are teams allergic to bunts
>>153867079Mets adding Ohtani would have been like them adding Soto+Peralta but 3 years earlier without losing Alonso or Diaz or seeing Nimmo fall off a cliff.Maybe they choke, but the 2024 Mets came this close to knocking the Doyers off.The Yankees absolutely would have killed both versions of the AL and LA. Boston and Toronto would have certainly taken the pennant in 2024 and Toronto wins the last WS with Ohtani. Cubs... Well, whatever happened there.
o shit Dave Righetti in the dugout. He looks old as fuck.
ALTAVILLA SISTER SEXO
>>153867084it could be, i just expanded on it. my point in the first 3 lines anyway.
Nice eyepatch.
>Are an outWhat does he even do? Not even joking.
>>153867067You are crying like a child about a ball player choosing to go to the team he always wanted to play for. It's been years. Touch grass
>>153867132you don't bunt when you're down by 6.why are teams besides Italy allergic to hitting the fucking ball?
if there's an MVP there should be a LVP tooarenado and raleigh are neck and neck
Genuinely though fuck the USA II shit the fact that you can just take a team of American guys who's last name sound Italian and a guy from New Jersey with a German last name and do this good is actually epic
>>153867160MAMA M I A
>>153867136>Nimmo fall off a cliff.lol you don't know ball i you think that.
>>153867132>just give away outs while down 6
>>153867164Nobody is crying you little fag, I don't give a fuck what some jap idiot dreams of.
Tonight:Team Japan (America’s bestest friend) vs Team Venezuela (recently freedomized by America)
>>153867169>>153867182If you can't even swing and make contact with the ball I'd rather just ensure ONE fucking run in exchange for an out. Boom there you go, 3 outs, pure RISP
>>153867193>(recently freedomized by America)have they been?i thought someone else took over and is still oppressing
>>153867206Thought wrong bitch
>>153867177see >>153866411
just score 4 runs and end it. tired of all these shit games
>>153867211kek i just looked it up, you're wrong nice try though
Puerto Rico sisters...
>>153867179Nimmo was a productive player until 2023, his change in approach at the plate meant he was only valuable in terms of power. His outfield defense has taken a nosedive from an already mid level, and now his hitting sucks too (because he gave up on being the leadoff walk guy).He is a better player than Semien right now but he will soon be the same level being paid for far longer.
>Erm here's how each team is actually an extension of team USA so we still win either waywhat is this cope?
>>153867247one of the players on italy is a leaf so if you guys get to use this cope so do we
>>153867247The thing is that Italy is actually coming to the game guns blazing and have a fun celebration gimmick. They're the american patriots USAbros yearn to see.
>>153867235Ask the Venezuelan guy bruh. Nobodies being oppressed. Who'd you think would be in charge. Also baseball blah blah the mods here will ban you for vaguely talking about politics
>>153867247Mexico lost.
>>153867273if the US team were going to do a celebration like the italian's shot of espresso, what would it be?

okay i've told a few stories about former major leaguers i interacted with over the years, so here's one last one:one time i was at an OKC AAA game; Redhawks vs the Redbirds. i was sitting second row behind the opposing team dugout. catching for the Redbirds was Yadier Molina. there was a drunk fan heckling him all game, any time OKC got a hit he would yell out something stupid like "OH GREAT PITCH CALL ON THAT ONE!" even though it was OBVIOUS yadi wasn't even calling the game, he was getting signals from the dugout. so somewhere around the 5th or 6th inning, this drunk fan is even drunker and getting REALLY loud. basically everyone was pissed at him. so this short and stocky hispanic guy behind him says "sir....i would appreciate it if you sat down"well, the drunk fan turns around and starts cussing out the hispanic dude. that guy stands up and says "i said...SIT DOWN!", grabs the drunk fan by the shoulders, and TOSSES him like 3 rows down (the drunk kinda drunkenly stumbled, but was clearly overpowered).security comes over and we all point to the drunk guy and he gets carried out. we thank the hispanic dude because we were tired of the drunk fan too. turns out? that guy was Yadi's (and the other Molina bois) dad. he talked to him the rest of the game, and basically the coolest thing he said was after i asked him which of his sons he thought was the best. he said "why do you think i'm here watching him?"

>>153867395
>>153867395proofs?
The whole "we're big and strong military guys HOO RAH" thing would be more charming if they were having fun, but the fact that they don't even show any emotion makes it so much lamer. If they shotgunned a beer after each home run and kept an electric guitar in the dugout, them occasionally doing some HOO RAH exaggerated army shit would've been more endearing and fun. Instead they all come across like those weird overly religious conservative kids whose parents wouldn't even let them watch spongebob and will actually throw a fit if you say "OH MY GOD" because you're "taking the lord's name in vain"
>>153867442>no >fuck>you

>>153864224>1-0 PR very quickly
>>153867539
gee I wonder how they don't score this time
>>153867457just gonna have to take my word for it, but i mean does that really sound that unbelievable lmao. Chan Ho Park was starting for the Redhawks (at that time, OKC was the Rangers AAA affiliate), pretty sure it was 2004. go ahead and look up if Chan Ho Park played for the OKC Redhawks in any rehab starts in 2004, and if they played the Memphis Redbirds, and if Yadier Molina was on the Redbirds roster. i bet all those things are true because they are and i was there and it happened.
>>153867395I'm really upset this turned out to be a real story and not just the "infetterence" copypasta.

>>153867395I know Trea Turner personally and played baseball with him for years. That is my story
this is the cracker jack inning
>>153867499fwiw i was rooting for team aussie this year.
Injins, this is your best pitcher?
Festa. More like a festering pile of shit.
is the bored italian still watching? do you feel your asshole tightening?
>>153867460Very real, Judge being a mutt is the only one I can take at face value. Without Trout, they've lost their air of affable flyoverness. Instead they just come across as hell-bent chudsnot to mention Bryce Harper is and always has been fucking fagot6 that looks like a fucking alcoholic elf.

They change pitchers way too fucking often in the WBC.Is Lorenzen the one who pitched the most innings in a row for Italy so far? With like, 4.2 IP?
italy's mascot should be a caricature of tommy lasorda. the irony would be cute
Italy choking so hard lmao.

I like the crowd, reminds me of WC elimination games
FUCK FUCK FUCK
There goes the double play too oh my days this pitcher is fucking choking.
>>153867824you can't. i still remember when charlie culberson got basically knocked out cold from getting hit in the face, and when the Braves replaced him the runner went to first and the ump was like "bro that was strike two, he swung" lmao.
uh oh
Insane choke. I can't believe it.
kek he threw his bat so high it came into shot
what the fuck was that fucking outfielding shitaly
Oh shit
kek, this is the clowniness game of the wbc

>Team USA lost to this
UH OHThe american in italian-american is coming through...
>>153867844Italy is making too many wrong mistakes
Sorsa if your leg got hurt after the play at first with Eddie just fucking say it, man, no shame about it.Now he just gave up 3 runs and the pressure is on Italy now
>La Sorsawhat does he do?
this italian bullpen would survive the big leaguers on samurai japan
>>153867773i agree, i think when you run thru that many guys, you are destined to find one or two who don't have their best stuff. plus it doesn't let any pitcher get into a groove AND it adds stress when you know you are probably just going to see a few hitters and if you let a few guys reach, you are yoinked.
Always more fun to watch when your team isnt involved
>it was 8-2
"alright he hit a guy and walks two but what if...." the WBC pitching masterclass

i think the ball is supposed to go in that big floating box in front of the batter
>Arenadoyikes, it's overdo they have a pinch hitter
>>153868043>it's called having a shit pitcher, T, you dont even need good batters to score
The mafia must have took the over.
guys i think this is a big at bat for puerto rico
>Shitalian fielding
I would swap Nolan for a pinch-hitter but I guess Yadi is that type of faithful manager.
>>153868043>weisert?>what...like a wise guy?>like he's funny?>what...funny like a clown?>does he amuse you?

Arenado is washed. Good luck with him D backs
arenado is going to get lynched if he steps foot in puerto rico ever again
>>153868077they were teammates tbf but I dont even think Nolan speaks Spanish
me entering this thread
Fine af boricua
>arenada
Why did bro throw to first on that
sexo
Come on lets score some fukkin points
Wait what the fuck, Puerto Rico gets treated as if they're playing at home?Fucking why? We did better in the group stage, we should have home advantage
how many of these players actually have roots to the old country
>>153868103Damn, didn't turn out. But holy FUCK the chasm does no longer exist, Italy has to lock in if they want to stop the bleeding.
These WBC games have been kino.
Ahhh breathe
italy needs at least a few baserunners to keep PR on the field for a bit. can't let them get back into the dugout quickly and keep momentum. an extra insurance run would be big.
>Arenadohe's done, he is going to be cut by the dbacks before the season is over>>153868125Italy is the home team
>>153868125The game has to be played in new joisey for that effect
LETS SCORINI SOME CAZZO RUNARINOS BAMBINIS! DR is scoring 9 so you guys need 10!
why not just tag 3rd?
>>153868125There are tons of Puerto Ricans in Houston.
he was not very good last year, sorry PR and Arizona
>>153868125Isn't it better to attack last?
>>153868103*Laughs in 20yo Miggy facing Clemens in the World Series*
>>153868125italy is the "home team" but it's a home game because there are so many spicanos in the US. way more than italians. walk all your cousins across the southern boarder if you want, it's what they do.
>>153868130fans are really going for it
Time to light up Diaz
>>153868121i can fap to this
>>153868153muscle memory and probably didn't know how close the runner was to third, he could've slid and reach safe.
>>153868121Yeah saw her too, there's not enough Latina women in British Commonwealth countries
what a blessed shin guard wowweee saved a break maybe!
>>153868125I know you're used to how they display scores in soccer, but in America the home team is the one to the right or the bottom.
>>153868132That's the beauty of baseball. 8 innings of nothing and then suddenly clutching your ass
OH SHID DIAZ NO ONE JUMPi've always thought Diaz looks like Harvey Dent from batman the animated series.
>>153868125you would have to time travel to new york in the 1950s to have home advantage unfort
>>153868154Not really. It's all Mexicans..Puerto ricans are mostly on the eat like new York, Miami,.Orlando and Boston
>diaz up>commercial ends>already a runner on base
hey,Diaz
Italy plays so aggressively, I'm loving it.
Can we redeem the homerun card now?
>>153868164yes, which is what italy has. they will have last bats IF they need to bat in the bottom of the 9th (meaning if PR ties it or takes the lead in the top of the 9th). if Italy gets 3 more outs before PR scores 2 runs (for now) the game is over and italy won't have to bat.
These commentators are unironically better than Davis and Smoltz
>>153868121I used to have tinder passport make during COVID when it was free. I set my location to Puerto Rico once and it's crazy there
what is 2nd base boy bitching about?
wait is that allowed? trying to block the runners view of the catch? never seen that
umpy whats going on big guy?
an umpirean call.
>>153868215So what you're saying is that if this game was played in New York it would start a race riot?
>>153868244the puerto 2nd baseperson was jumping up and down in front of him so he couldnt see the catch
>>153868239>when it was freetinder isn't free anymore?!
umpy just wants to go home, game has been going for 3 and a half hours
>>153868257based
>>1538682442nd baseman blocking LOS of the catch
smart pitching here
>edlose diass
>>153868248absolutely. but rarely done because you give up a ton of defensive positioning by being in front of the runner. if a ball goes up the middle, it's a run scored, so you don't want to hold the runner by being in front, but there's certainly nothing illegal about it.
>>153868272what does that matteris that a real thing?
DIAZ WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT OH MY GOD
this is the doggies big closer, huh
>>153868248I think there's some obscure rule against it, I remember last year in a Mets Dodgers game something like that happened with Max Muncy
>>153868276(i said this before he threw a middle middle fastball lmao, pitching around the nightmare with a base open is fine)
>runners in scoring position in a game you're losing>let the runner advance to 2nd on indifference????
GET DIAZ OUT OF THE GAME RIGHT NOW THIS INSTANT YADI PLEASE HE IS POOING HIS PANTS
GET USED TO THIS SHIT DOYERPACOS
did the dodgers just overpay for another hack reliever?
>>153868298its not his fault hes a big boy!
DE-ASS.
oh we walking
>>153868298yes
come on wild pitch for the boys
god why couldnt the doggies have made that trade last year bros
>edlose
Diaz sucks lmaoHe has like one dominant appearance very three gamesMets fans spit on his pathetic grave
diaz is s t r u g g l i n g
>>153868304couldn't risk a throw down with a fast runner at 3rd.
>>153868304They're fully counting on Diaz here but it looks like he's dealing with the pressure wrongly.
>>153868248in mlb it's not
GOOD CALL UMP
>>153868296the curse of tanner scott. the dodgers is where good closers go to die
UMP IS A SPIC
>>153868284this is your best reliever until Yams joins the bullpen on Halloween get used to it
FUCK YOU UMP.
>>153868328But that's not indifference
diaz nice
what the FUCK WAS THAT UMPYwow what a fucking faggot for realsend the ump back he has to go back
CHALLENGE IT WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUU
>>153868325he unironically hasn't been the same since he fucked up his knee celebrating in the last WBC. here we go SPAGHETTI BROS
GET THIS UMP OUTTA HERE
>>153868336So are italians desu
ref is puto rican confirmed
That fucking umpire man, SAVED Diaz. What a piece of shit.
>shitter Ricans acting like they just won the game when they're still down by two runs KEK
We can do this Italy bros
how was that a strike?
Angel Herrnadez moment
Arenado won't bat this inning, PR has a chance
gifted out by the shitty umps
The script is in btw they are going to facetime bad bunny and lindor while in the clubhouse celebration after the win.
>>153868363>>153868365
>>153868253It's too cold for it this time of year. But if there was a Dominican Republic vs Puerto Rico game in NYC it would bruh the city down
>>153868347no abs in my wbc :)
umpy feeling sorry for Edwin there
These ads are mad annoying ngl
Ump hates real latinx
>>153868348I am at the fan, Diaz was great last year and I honestly wanted to really keep him, as did the front office apparently. I've turned on him since he sent with the dodgers because that's such a loser move but he is unironically skilled, yet I can't help but look back on his tenure with us as a pathetic mixed bag of injuries and mental rehoduation like 2019.
>>153868343afaik, if there's no throw it goes down as indifference, even if it's technically not. obviously it would be a difference in that run scored if the batter got a hit. but i think if a team is winning or losing is irrelevant in the defensive indifference call, but i may be wrong.
>>153868376* Burn the city down
>>153868365>>153868375Nice so now they have all the pressure off by being able to blame the ref anyway. EZ win incoming
