yes please
My friend put 400 on Cuba, and he doesn't know a thing about baseball. How screwed is he?
>>66338969
you are such a crying faggot
So why is the Cuban national team losing so far?
Is it because their best players are already in the MLB or because Japan is overall the best Baseball nation that isn't America?
>>66339012
You're right ;_;
>>66339014
I think they might just not be very good
it an NT, so they only have so much time they can spend tightening the team mechanics
>>66338997
he might be fucked
I know we love winning and everything, but this is a bit too cruel. We should at least let them have more runs.
>>66339014
Cubans hear about the MLB
They know that the Yasiel Puigs and Cespedes of the world are making a fuckton of money
If you were a world class or even just great talent, would you rather stay in the island making not much more than anyone else, or go to America and have scouts and GMs all over you?
just tuned in lads

this is a Club v. NT friendly
and Cuba has never been an international underdog in baseball, they're basically the "Russia" in that scenario
Stop being so melodramatic

>>66339244
No, they only do that when they go to other countries, like the Best Koreans
I refuse to watch this anymore, anything cool going on? Amazing how much slower this thread is than the last one. People must have bailed on the game after all the awful interviews. What a waste of what could have been a great baseball broadcast.
>>66339130
Is this your first day watching baseball? The NPB is vastly inferior. The MLB has had multiple exhibition series in Japan.
are they playing with mlb rules or international rules

Lame, was hoping it'd be at least decent. Glad the US will win though. I'm workin on some day drinkin in my hotel room. I'm at an extended stay place.... First time I've ever stayed a week at one place. Hope I don't have to bust some methhead skulls or fend off some prostitutes.

This map says that basketball is the most popular sport in Argentina, Spain, France, and Italy. Do you have any idea how unbelievably stupid that is? Compare attendance for La Liga, Ligue 1, and the Argentine soccer league with the basketball leagues for those countries. Compare revenue. Hell, just open up a news site from any of those countries (Le Monde, El Pais, Clarin), and see how much soccer and how little basketball shows up. I also disagree with South Korea, baseball and soccer are far more popular (again, just look at the numbers/news).
>>66339341

>>66339359
I do, and I know someone else does. This thread is shit anyways. Shit baseball, shit coverage, shit. And all I have to look forward to is the shitty Braves who are dumping all their assetts in order to start in their new stadium with a good team and a marquee player or 2. Fuckin' Braves....
>>66339354
It isn't though. Cuba and the Dominican produces arguably better players. South Korea is also closing in on Japan.
VIAGRA
>>66339374
it's a terrible chart
>>66339354
>>Japan is overall the best Baseball nation that isn't America
But that's not really true either. Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Venezuela produce top players on a consistent basis: Puig, Cespedes, Pujols, Cabrera, Machado, Martinez, Rodriguez, Fernandez, Bautista...
Japan has Ichiro, Matsui, and.....Tanaka?
>>66339397
You're boring, annoying and gay.

>>66339465
bitch, just google "most popular sport in (country)".
here, an example
https://www.google.com/search?q=most+popular+sport+in+spain&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
>>66339387
Korean baseball average attendance: 10,00
Korean basketball average attendance: 3,800
Korean pro baseball revenue: 69 million euros
Korean pro basketball revenue: so low it didn't even crack the top 30 list
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_sports_leagues_by_revenue
Also, it turns out that Korean baseball actually makes more per year than Chinese basketball. Kind of interesting.

So....
Will the Cuban team be tortured for losing the game?
You think everyone would get same punishment or sliding scale based on performance?
>>66339494
fuck you

>Cuba is miles better than MLB for inclusion of diversity
Yeah, someone's never been to Cuba before
>>66339582
The first league listed for each country is their soccer league, the second is basketball. And it's worth mentioning that even lower league soccer in Spain, Italy, and France (Segunda Division, Serie B, and Ligue 2) has higher attendance and revenue than their top-level basketball leagues. Hell, in France even their rugby league is more popular than their basketball league.

>>66339597
They're so fucking dumb. In every non-white country, especially Latin American ones, the light skinned citizens all look down on the dark skinned ones.
Life is 1000x better for blacks in the US. Typical ESPN being liberal faggots.
>>66339613
ESPN is a huge liberal vehicle. Of course they're going to shill for Cuba.
thats a big league hook
>>66339577

>those Cuban ladies with Nats gear
that seems like an odd team to follow for them
>>66339639
Yep. In the US, dark nig nogs look down on mixed and light skinned blacks. Uncle toms, mutts, etc etc. They don't like that at all.
>>66339624
Weird, right? The highest attendance for the entire 2014-15 season (Real vs Barca, of course) was only 12,000 people, which wouldn't even fill up 1/4 of the Bernabeu.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014%E2%80%9315_ACB_season
think it's just the only sport that Spaniards care about other than soccer. That's why you see it mentioned on Marca and El Pais so often.
>>66339674
>only sport that Spaniards care about
bullfighting
nub
>>66339639
This. Cubans and even most Cuban-Americans are racist as fuck, most of us think we're white and we look down on the "blacks" even though 1/3 of us are mulato and you can barely tell the difference sometimes.
>>66339668
The gov probably gave them free MLB hats when they attended the game
>>66339690
Very few cities even allow it anymore
Barcelona cucked their bullfighting ring into a mall
>>66339691
Everyone is racist. The fact that people deny this shit is nuts. We're all xenophobic, it's instinctual and evolutionary. The quicker people accept who they are and quit with this bullshit PC nonsense, the quicker relations between races and different ethnicity will improve. Call a spade a spade, tell it how it is.... All of a sudden, things will be much better.
Can't wait to see Obongo apologize to Cuba after we win.
>>66339724
That's sad to hear. I don't like it personally but that was like, their thing
RIP Spanish culture I suppose
>>66339717
What did he do? He's just sitting there.
>>66339090
>inb4 final inning comeback
why do they have to keep pronouncing it koo-buh?
>>66339754
That's how it's supposed to be pronounced like Hawaii is pronounced who-vi-ee
>>66339754
It's more grating because they're pronouncing everything else wrong
>>66339754
They're Cubans, they speak Spanish, so they pronounce it the right way. The white american commentator pronounces it the American way.
>>66339754
Gringo accents
>>66339742
This. He probably hoped for Cuba to win so they could be on good terms, but the Rasy ruined it for him.
>>66339674
Well considering that Basketball stadiums are pretty small it's not that hard to believe. even the biggest NBA court is only 20k capacity.
Motorsports are pretty big in Spain too. I remember being on holiday there about 2 years ago and walking past a crowd of spanish men at a bar all watching F1 and going crazy for every overtake.

>I will stop watching baseball if they continue to speak like spics. fucking don't switch languages for one fucking word you stupid assholes its so annoying.
That guy said he was a first generation cuban immigrant, so saying it the spanish way is probably ingrained for him. A lot of people do this with names anyway, they can't help it. If I'm speaking in Spanish, I'll pronounce all the words right but I'll say "America", "Baseball" or "Bill" in a normal american accent instead of saying "América", "beisbol", or "Beel".

Celebrating the Castro regime with a baseball game to open up more normalized relations between the two countries is a pretty big slap in the face to Cuban Americans 2bh.
