Based. I'm ready.
>>154040215>Chukyo Daichukyo (Aichi) - Chiben Gakuen (Nara)who is favored?
>>154040743chukyo were more highly rated going in to the tournament but chiben are not a bad team either
I'm not feeling too strong for either, I'm just hoping for a close game. I've got mad respect for Chiben though for last game. Otherwise I may have rooted more purely for Chukyo.
lol
>>154041151Kek
That first base player from Chukyo sure loves the splits kek
>>154041691defensive legend
Going to be low scoring this one
I notice you don't see a lot of pick offs in Koshien
I LOVE YOU BABY IF IT'S QUITE ALRIGHTI NEED YOU BABYTO WARM A LONELY NIGHTI NEED YOU BABYTRUST IN ME WHEN I SAYYYYYYYYYYYYY
>>154042034i feel like there are a decent amount, it’s probably low compared to mlb
>>154042120It could just be I miss when it happens. Sometimes I fall asleep.
>>154041151ah yes finallyreverse carp strikes again
>>154042262took a while this time
Worried for Chukyo like this.....you could just see it coming when they switched.....
tie game
>>154042470anon, this will bite you one day...
>>154042470>part 6
>>154042534>this facei admit i bust out in laugh
>>154041691
Split-kun strikes again......>>154042616
>>154042616this game is being peak reverse carp lol
we sre getting chiben vs toin final arent we?
>>154042870I still believe in Chukyo even if I have to force myself to
Chukyo has cuter girls
>>154042870who to root for in that scenario?
owari da
>>154042912aannnnnnnnd its ded>>154043002for koyaren drop the DH next yearthe biggest fears happened, the DH made the elit traditional teams even more stronger
All the schools I rooted for lost.......I guess I would rather have Toin lose though......That Chiben pitcher had an annoying smug face and eyes and shit eating grin throughout the game, but I'll acknowledge he's skilled
>>154043045congrats toin 2026 senbatus champion
Toin goes down TODAY

>it could be tied right now
Not gonna beat Toin with errors and baserunning mistakes... these fuckers have been so lucky in every game they play
>>154043960Bro, I was just thinking that. Yeah they've been winning but absolutely haven't been dominant. Could see them losing some of those earlier games.
>>154043960that is the most frustating about tointhey tend to be perfect and usually "forces" errors on oponents easy, that is the style
>>154044045Noticing that. Teams are just spilling their spaghetti when they play Toin.
>>154044160this why so many people dislike toin and we meme them with toinwinslol
>>154043862>>154043930thanks
>>154043960>>154044045O hexa this year, Huebros?
>>154044446hopefuly but as every game since 2022 world cup elimination, our team is pretty much atropelated
COPACABANA
Senshun waste too much outs aaaaaaaa
based Toin
>Toinwinslol
>letting the fat kid steal third
Fuck yes, it's back on
Kek, nvm
Toin more like Towin
someone remind me when was the last time Toin won?
>>154045481spring 2022
FUCK

>Toinwinslol>Toinwinslol>Toinwinslol
>two strikes, no ballsShould've taken the dead ball instead of dodging it
>>154043003Someone post the pic
T O I NO IN
>>154045481>>154045487holy hell it was so long since toin won?the crisis toin had i thogout it wss longer
>>154045553anyway tomorrow is a rest day the finals is day after tomorrow
>>154045598tomorrow is also rest day in NPB and KBO, fuck...
>>154045574That's crazy that it's considered a long time for Toin
STILL seething
Up ya go
>>154045621>Rest day >Season just started
>>154053284asian leaguees always rest on mondays unless is holidays
>>154056377Is there a reason for that?
Finals today?
>>154059124yesChiben Gauken - Osaka Toin 11:30pm eastern time
>>154056960idk, maybe is for rest or logistics idk
oh damn the finals are starting i lost track of time
anyway here are the teamsOsaka Toin (大阪桐蔭) is a private school from Osaka Prefecture. The strongest team in recent history, Toin have attended Koshien 29 times and have won 9 times. (5 Summer, 4 Spring) They most recently won the Spring 2022 tournament but had been struggling since, Toin missed out on last years Summer Koshien and lost in the second round of Summer 2024. They have made it back to the finals this year. Media ranking (at the start of the tournament): BChiben Gakuen (智弁学園) is a private school from Nara Prefecture. A classic powerhouse at Koshien, they have been to the tournament 37 times and have won once (Spring 2016). They famously went to the finals of Summer 2021 where they lost to their sister school, Chiben Wakayama. Their most recent appearance at Koshien was in Summer 2024 where they made it to the quarter-finals. Media ranking: B
>>154065150>They famously went to the finals of Summer 2021 where they lost to their sister school, Chiben WakayamaHow has it already been five years what the fuck
>>154065192everything since covid has been a flash
>>154065036A better question is, why is it scheduled to have the fibals on a Tuesday? Wouldn't have been better to have it end it on Sunday?
>>154065192i feel it was took that long since toin last was this good on koshien as well lol
pathetic effort by the 1B
>>154065289since few years ago federation require a rest day between QF and semis and another rest day between SF and Finals
toin score first
i checked the japanese weather agency and it seems we may have a rain delay but no rain after this rain window
Toin manager looking particularly evil today
Feels like Chiben is swinging at practically every ball
>>154065423nishitani always have this face lol
first base ump looks a little like Ichiro
that was almost a disaster
>>154065492it still might be
toinwinslol
Disaster confirmed
This is gonna be grim
These guys are gonna need to use their comeback magic again
>>154065515>>154065498I meant more that it would have been a disaster of the comical variety if he dropped that easy fly ballthis on the other hand was a clean hit
3-0
do these teams still use the same pitchers every inning every game or has that been phased out?
>>154065558they mostly keep the starter in the whole game, though there are pitch counts nowadaysthe chiben gakuen pitcher only has like 130~ pitches renaming before he has to be taken out
>>154065520i guess they reverted to reverse carp
Well, they got one back at least
uoooohh JKs
Nice squeeze
hell of a suicide squeeze
>>154065803>>154065805chiben aint out of it yet
HOME RUN
toin bros...
>dream you can doit, you can do it
TIE GAMU
watch Toin score this inning
better positioning/tag and they had him easy
perfect bunt
:(
>bases loaded walk>still no outsyikes
This pitcher's cooked
>tune in>Toin scores off a walk with no outsYeah this is over.
>5 straight balls>swing at a ball100 laps for this kid
>>154066067lmao fucking knew it
It's so over
the dagger
It's so fucking over
toinwinslol also reverse carp lol
chiben bros not like this....
last chance bros
T O I NOINwe are so fucking back Toin bros
its officially owari da
>toinwinslol
Who could've seen this coming
Toin bros this is only step 1, we're completing the double this summer
what a disaster 7th for them
toin win their 10th koshien overall and first since 2022
>>154066243gotta win osaka tournament first lol
>Toin's pitcher is a second yearhe's a big guywe're running it back bros. this year and next, all the koshiens
Well this has been funGuess I'll see you guys again in August
>>154066271the school year just rolled over in japan so hes basically a first year still
>>154066271there has talk that he may be moving to US before the summer, many eyes looking to get him>>154066279NPB and KBO later today anon
>>154066281pro ball is probably in his future, already low 90s as a lefty, probably more in the tank>>154066285like to a US high school? interesting, haven't heard of a player doing that before
>>154066281he only have this year and next3rd year play the last tournament in the summer before the graduation
>>154066289no, he would go to the MLB academies on central america likely, but usually they go quickly to MLB from there if they play really well
Can't say I like Toin winning but this tournament had a lot of good games, only a couple of blowouts too. It was nice watching it with you all.
>>154066305summer is even more equilibrated since all games are decided by on-field performance instead of a comitee
Yes looking forward to summer.
I fell asleep shortly after when Chiben was scoring and woke up after the game was won. It's a disgusting game alright
>>154066500???
