Now are playing Colombia vs Spain.
Colombia is winning 1-0 in 2nd inning...
Just the winner of this group will qualify for WBC 2017!
>tfw WBC are going to be in muh city
Im not gonna watch, but theres a play by play website?
>>66222310
I'm trying to find one, but not at the moment...
Anyway this is a shoe in for Panama...
Colombia 2-0 Spain in 3rd inning.
>>66222402
We hope! My worries are from Colombia... I wonder how are they playing... :s
>>66222295
Are Mex playing qualification games?
>>66222482
yes
>>66222455
You won over >us quite easily last time. Everyone just underestimated Brazil and all their japs.
(>)We are playing with 99% Triple A players and only a guy who had a few innings in MLB. You should win this easily
Good they changed the qualies. It was murderball in the Americas and a babby tier elsewhere
>>66222482
Yes. Mex, Niggeragua, Germany (!) and Czech Republic (!!)
>watching cubawinslol

March madness/Europa League
>>66222402
Colombia has better major league talent thanks to Quintana and Teheran, but they're not here
>>66222624
few of the players are actually Spanish
only Germany and Czech Republic use actual european players for the WBC. Israel is all Jewish Americans, Italy has a few actual Italians but also uses "Italian" Americans like Anthony Rizzo. Netherlands players are genuinely dutch I guess, but mostly dutch antilles.
>>66222950
LOL! I forgot those games! What are you watching?
nice crowd eh
>there are no roads between Colombia and Panama
fucking third worlders
Phew! Colombia has a good bating force...
>>66223067
I'm looking at the roster and Spain's players' names are like:
> Engel Beltré
> Yasser Gómez
> Rhiner Cruz
> Richard Salazar
> Blake Ochoa
> Yunesky Sánchez
kek
>>66223243
whats the score/inning now?
>>66223085
All of them
>>66223350
Colombia 2-0 Spain 5th up inning.
Is America actually going to try this time?
>>66223413
All we do in this tournament is win vs USA and get rekt by shit teams (like Canada in the last edition)
>>66223469
You won once
>>66223413
Doubt it
>>66223469
a USA team would wreck a rest of the world team
though anyone can still win in a 1 game knockout I guess
>>66223512
This was the team they sent last tournament.

>though anyone can still win in a 1 game knockout I guess
This. They have to do a series, at least for the final
>Half of the key players are pitchers
>only 1 game final
Colombia 4-0 Spain in the 5th up inning... :o
>>66223632
nah
the 1 game knockout is why it's so fun, the fact that anyone can win makes it all the more exciting
with a series a team like the Netherlands would never make the semifinals, and no one would beat the US if they sent a real team
5-0

Then I want the final to be Usa vs Venezuela
the pitch count rules are awful, fucking MLB
South Africa might have beat Australia in the final if they didn't have to play an extra game and use up the majority of their bullpen, they were in the game until the 8th inning when the makeshift bullpen pieces fell apart

why am I slightly sceptical about this?

>>66226900
>>66227033
I really don't know where they come from. French immigration to baseball countries seems like it would be pretty negligible. And if you're French Canadian, I feel like you'd rather try to play for Canada. They're much better but not too deep. It's a winning squad that you might actually have a shot at playing for.
>>66228581
Bottom 8th, 2 Outs, Nics have men in 1 &2

However, it is too early to said Nicaragua will be elimininated, just to beware of Germany...

was alright, got most shit from studying the formula sheet, was strapped on time though since it took me a while to figure out what I needed

Phew! France are doing a bunch of errors... Panama must not to be proud of this game... Against Colombia will be very different.
Dis I see a dwarf with Panama in the background ?
>>66233407
???
Panama 3-0 France
>>66226563
Team Mexico has these pitchers:
Yovani Gallardo
Marco Estrada
Jorge de la Rosa
Jaime García
Joakim Soria
Oliver "Calamidad" Pérez
Sergio Romo
Roberto Osuna
César Ramos
Fernando Salas
Adrián González is the one and only good hitter, so >we live and die for our pitchers.
>>66233563
Mex against Czech Rep?
this is what happens when the USA has a national league but don't play international game cause they are "too good".

>>66233563
Wait. Are all those guys actually playing in the qualifiers? The US can't even get pitchers like that for their actual tournament.
>>66233974
That Happen when you lose vs. Italy, like last classic
>>66233803
>>66233601
>mfw I'm seriously replying to bait
>mfw no face
no one cares, it's not that they're too good, it's just not worth it, there's no motivation for the players since the fans don't care, it's just an injury risk for them. Baseball is an extremely regional game, 95% of MLB fans don't care about anything but their local team, most don't even watch the world series. They don't want to see 'their' players play in some stupid tournament that USA would win easily if they just tried to.
Plus it's not like soccer where most of the best players in the world only come together in tournaments like the CL or WC, all the best players already play in MLB, so there's no extra prestige for the world's best coming together. In fact the quality will be much lower, since USA can field at least 3 different teams and they would be the 3 best teams in the tournament
>>66233974
nah, I think just Oliver Perez
get a hit frogs
>>66234057
>most don't even watch the world series. They don't want to see 'their' players play in some stupid tournament that USA would win easily if they just tried to.
Fucking what? If you want some national pride, at least prove yourself to the whole world with a world cup of baseball?
>>66234151
there's nothing to prove. baseball is a game of individual performances, and the US has the best individuals easily
oh a hit
It is an easy game for Panama, but hope to score more runs...
Panama 4-1 France
THE MOST DANGEROUS LEAD
>there are 2 Ernesto Martinez on team France
>>66234057
>USA can field at least 3 different teams and they would be the 3 best teams in the tournament
That's stupid and wrong. Off the top of my head, the A Teams for the DR, Venezuela, Japan, Korea and Cuba would all probably beat the lesser USA squads.
>>66234011
You didn't even answer the question.
Not yuropoors, pls
They'll try to put away runs or some bullshit like in sawker
>>66234307
Kershaw, Arrieta, Greinke, Hamels, Gray
Sale, Price, deGrom, Harvey, Archer
Scherzer, Kluber, Keuchel, Ross, Cole
no team would stand a chance against any of those rotations
arguably the 15 best pitchers in the game, all American
only Latin ones potentially in there are Cueto, Carrasco, Felix, Quintana, Fernandez
all from diffrent countries except Felix and carrasco
>>66231910
The 85' Burrs are GOAT
>the third base coach trying to get the fatty to go for 3
>>66234429
>picking five Latin players at random
>assuming it's a seven game series
>implying their rosters would consist entirely of pitchers
>>66234429
Japan would probably stand the best chancehas the best potential to be in the top 3 thanks to their pitching
Darvish, Otani, Tanaka, Maeda, Iwakuma, Fujinami is decent, too bad they have no batters
>>66234526
I picked the 5 best spic starters, not random
we're talking about who would be the best team, not who would win a one game knockout tournament
even a college team could beat an MLB team 1 out of 10 times
>>66233761
Every day... And by ball I mean an eight ball
How much is an eight balls in your countries bros? $150-200 here, Chimpcago
>>66234429
Uhhhh why did you put Cole Hamels and Sonny Gray on the A Squad?
And is "Fernandez" Jose Fernandez? Because he defected from Cuba as a child and would definitely play for the United States.
Also, who are Quintana and Carrasco? Are they some boring AL guys?
>Mexico has Adrian Gonzalez
Shouldn't you be in spring training?
>>66234641
No. Nation first.
Sillaaaaa!!!!! Panama 6-1 France!!!! :D
>>66234682
You have to go back
>>66234626
there's no "A squad"
I just put together 3 teams that would be better than anything any other country can throw out
but even a true "C squad" of Ross, Archer, Hamels, Gray, Harvey is better than any other country, even with "C players" like Arenado, Brantley, Kiermaier, Betts, Hosmer, Kinsler, Desmond, Norris,
How is going the Mex vs Czech?
Silla!!! Panama 8-1 France!!! :P
>>66234847
hasn't started yet
>>66222227

Do you think so? :s
>fat nigga exhausted from jogging halfway to first
Czech vs Mexico game just about to start
>>66234307
Even with Ryu pitching for them, there's no way Korea could beat an American C team (third-best Americans at every position including pitcher).
Another error... Panama 9-1 France

I believe the C Squad would only have the players that weren't good enough for the A and B Squads' benches.
>>66235678
nope, DH, but for his home team he plays catcher regularly afaik
>>66235704
only 4 bench spots, and they can be a catcher and some meme defensive or utility players like billy hamilton, jackie bradley and ben zobrist, the A squad wouldn't need more offense.
that's pretty much a real C squad in that post
