Nicaragua vs. Czech Republic & Panama vs. France
>"let's start another thread that will die out soon" edition
let's go czechs
BASED FUCKING CZECHS
>>66283630
3:0! nice start
>the shitty of central america
literally getting wrecked by france and the czech republic
France leads 2:0, wtf is hapenning in central america?
which one should I watch?
>>66284223
czech republic are our team
btw czech these dubs
>whoever wins these games will be fucked in the final thanks to a depleted pitching staff
don't lose your shit now czechs
yikes just started watching and the bases loaded...
nice to get a lead though, if we can beat a latino team that's a huge boost
If every team could stop wearing blue that would be great, thanks
based czechs getting out of it
paint
>>66284657
This, all the jerseys can be so much better. Germany's was a travesty.
MRAAAZ
THE FROSTMAN
>>66284368
yeah it's looking grim, although there are some decent guys in the czech bullpen that might be available tomorrow (depending on who'll pitch tonight)
Tell me, why does Cech wear the mask?
>>66285222
everyone named Petr Cech has to wear some kind of mask, it's the law :^)
>>66285222
>Vojak
>trips
based
also kek at that ruse at first base, pretending the ball passed him
that slide
panama wtf
>>66283265
OPs should link to the streams so that lazy/casual bums like me can join in without having to make an effort.
>balk with the bases loaded
>panama
lel, the stadium is completely empty too
fucking panamanian faggots only caring about soccer these days
literally kill yourself all of you
>>66285394
http://www.worldbaseballclassic.com/
>>66285430
something as simple as linking that in the OP along with the word "streams" would probably draw in a few more people 2bh
>>66285423
panama might be here
>>66285423
>>balk with the bases loaded
you can't be serious, that's my dream play...
>tfw the world baseball classic will never be anything like the world cup
>so many fucking Ks
>>66285509
eh couldn't really be bothered
>>66285550
why not
Nicaragua slides on fleek tonight
>>66285607
Not all the best players participate due to scheduling
Baseball isn't as big worldwide, meaning less hype/parity/participating countries
PICKED THE FUCK OFF
>niggeragua
panama scored though, 3-1
>>66285607
because Americans don't care
>>66285691
>because Americans don't care
Wasn't the last World Baseball Classic only shown on MLB.tv and ESPN Deportes in the US or something crazy? I feel like I remember watching it in Spanish.
>>66285690
the hype is fine in all participating countries except the US
and there aren't really any scheduling conflicts if the players just decided to start their spring training routines a couple weeks early
>>66285718
I think most games were on MLBN
>>66285690
>>66285691
one can dream
>>66285607
Right now the MLB network is showing a rerun of a spring training game
>>66285769
sab desu hope manfred tries to change
shit, frogs ready to surrender
euro collapsing
>france throwing out a 17 year old who in the french league had a 6 ERA 14/25 k/bb
>in a bases loaded jam
>>66285807
It's too meaningless right now to get much traction
damn it fat nigga, that could have been a double play you fat fucking bastard
damn it czechs
fuck, it's ogre for europe
špagety ;__;
christ i'm getting anxious
>walking Ruiz
>to get to Guerra
terrible
should just did the rundown
god fucking damn it france
that wasn't even close
a fucking pop-up
>not picking up the 17 year old on two straight plays
he's gotten exactly what he needed to get out of this jam twice
REEEEEEEEEE
>frederic walter
kill yourself my man
>two straight walks with the bases loaded
france is done
let's go Czechs, do it for us
>Pakistan
cant wait
Not sure I like this bullshit "double"-elimination
>>66286529
They're in a group with Israel and England
>>66286534
I've hardly ever seen a baseball tournament that wasn't double elimination.
>>66286642
pakistan will somehow still be a bunch of white dudes
>>66286669
That's not the problem
The problem is that the winner of the game tomorrow goes on
So a team with one loss gets eliminated
It's bullshit
>>66286736
they get a big pitching advantage
>>66286725
they're not unless they're a completely new team by then
BASED FAT NIGGA
we tie ball game again
so many bad decisions
>>66286812
So?
Baseball is one of the flukiest sports
Determining everything on one game is idiotic
>>66286964
that's what makes it so fun, faggot
alright you french fucks, need a quick inning right here
They got a bat midget this rules.
how long until we get a czech major leaguer
god damn france, at least he recoered with a great throw
but it seems like they can't field a single ball cleanly other than the third baseman
yet they're still not losing
>inb4 3rd baseman fucks it up big time
>>66286989
Didn't say that made it bad
But they're ruining the format
If they don't want an extra game then go to a round robin
>bases loaded again
these fucking walks man
just throw fucking strikes man, fucking strikes
how many bases loaded walks will it take
six out boys
>S I X O U T S
>>66287168
As in born there or of Czech descent? We've had the latter
>>66288090
born
time for FAT NIGGA
wew, slick play
NOWHERE
NEAR
THE TARGET
holy shit
fuck, fat nigga with the warning track power
>that fucking throw
shit, it's all falling apart
fuck
he was fucking out...
shit, he was out
hard to blame the ump there, but shit
he was out wtf
>4 errors
embarrassing
damn, phew
hehehe not this time
sucks the game is tied now...
these teams are all so bad
just walk my shit up
shit 6-4, that one's over
>10 walks
>the bases are loaded again
>a few more walks incoming
this is hard to watch
CZECH THAT DOUBLE
czechs dig the long ball
>>66287168
The only minor leaguer I could think of off the top of my head didn't even play in 2015 and was pretty bad anyway.
http://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.cgi?id=cerven000mar
INTENTIONAL WALK
salami incoming
ooh so close
WHY did I not know that they FINALLY came out with new rankings
http://www.mister-baseball.com/wbsc-baseball-world-rankings-japan-usa-chinese-taipei-top/
FUCCCKKKKKKK
that wasn't even a good play
but I like the enthusiasm
but damn it czech
>>66289033
What makes Italy so good? Is it all the Italian-Americans?
somewhere goose is working blue
>>66289033
>Nepal at 1 PTS.
Why do I feel bad for Nepal? ;_;
Even Myanmar has 5.
I fucking love Malik

>Elmer Reyes aka the guy who got thrown off the AAA Braves for trying to rape someone
nice standards there nicaragua
>>66289114
>Curacao
I thought they played for Netherlands...
Also these extra innings rules are /sp/ "how do we make baseball more exciting" thread-tier
>>66289161
they'd have a very small pool to choose from if they tried to limit it to players who haven't tried to rape someone
>>66289150
who doesn't, he's a great guy
>>66289170
netherlands stole them all
>>66289170
Thought Curacao did too.
Also I was thinking the exact same shit about the extra innings rule.
>11th inning and we put a man on both 1st and 2nd base
What.
>>66289062
They've got a pretty competitive domestic league too. But of course the Italian-Americans help in the tournaments in which they're allowed to play.
>>66289170
Yeah, listing Curaçao separately is confusing. I doubt they have many opportunities to play separately from the Netherlands.
>>66288857
Marek Minarik is a 6'7" pitcher who has been released by his second MLB club already at the mere age of 22.
freeeee baseball
A reminder that if you're at all interested in European/global baseball, Mister Baseball is the best possible resource.
http://www.mister-baseball.com
I recommend all baseball fans follow them on Twitter at the least.
>>66289239
there are strict (retarded) pitch count rules so they want to avoid games going too long
BLERN, BLERN, BLEEEERRNNNN
you blew it france
>10 walks
you could've had it
>France
Here we go with the meme extra innings rules
>>66290035
I want to see a really meme triple play first at bat.
ayy
>>66289679
WBC qualifying has been Spring Training-level of meme stats
welp, the dream is dead
fuck
>>66290348
Ayy don't be upset dude, there's still the bottom and you guys will have runners on 1st and 2nd too.
Are these ridiculous extra inning rules gonna apply to the WBC tournament proper?
>>66290437
they did last time
consequence of the ridiculous pitch count rules
>2nd balk of the game
kurva
>>66290382
but this could've been avoid if either:
- they hadn't commited four errors; or
- the umpire hadn't blown the call in the 8th (this is an easy scapegoat now, it was quite a tough call to make)
>>66289114
I bet I could play for Nepal. Too bad I'm not that brown to pass as a poo in loo.
1- what are the scores
2 - please tl;dr what a balk is
Thanks, t.Martin guptill
>Plunking a rapist
Should be a free out with all these meme rules.
>>66290578
Panama beat France 7-4 because France can't into baseball
Nicaragua up 7-4 against Czechs because Czechs can't into baseball
balk is an illegal move by the pitcher, there's a lot of different ways to balk.
it's generally about deceiving the runner, but it's complicated. there are plenty of legal ways to deceive the runner after all
how great would a walk off grand slam be?
>niggerwater beating the check'ems
ez qualifiers. Wish our football team had it as easy.
>>66290725
Thanks. What's the penalty for a balk?
>>66290856
all runners get to move up a base
C Z E C H
nice, still bases loaded no outs
0 out, bases loaded walk, 2 run game. Neat. I told you not to worry czech bro.
>>66290838
ayo hol' up could the czechs actually win this?
>4-pitch walk to bring in a run
THE CHOKE IS ON
CZECK EM SENPAITACHI
>>66290923
the meme rules man. It gave niggerwater the runs, and it'll give check-ems the runs.
>>66290958
counterchoke?
>>66290990
Oh well, Mexico still got the win in the bag, r-right?
shiiiit
ogre
fuck
oh well... they exceeded my expectations though
>6 AM
>is it worth going to sleep?
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Welp...we came close in both our losses and embarrassed Germany for years to come
Lots to improve on, but it's nice to see the motherland making strides in my favourite sport
why god
>4 errors plus other defensive miscues
they could've stopped this
>>66291435
thats the worst part
>france with 10 walks and 3 errors
>czechs with 4 errors
central america should be embarrassed to have barely won desu
We are using the only router in the country just to shitpost.
>>66291742
I hope you niggers beat mexico
won't happen though, you guys fucking suck. Do they not play baseball anymore over there or what, I thought it was your sport, unlike Panama which seems to be turning more and more to soccer
fucking spics and their divegrass, seems baseball's losing ground to that shit all over the place
>>66291840
Sorry Clint, people just really like football. Even MLelS will probably cuck MLB in the next few years.
>>66291840
Football is getting bigger here, but boxing is the true king, we just got a new world champion today.
