Okay from what I've gathered Japan is cool with allowing pros but the MLB wants to make the WBC meme a thing rather than partner with the Olympics.

They'll probably get the pros


Also the 2 runner extra innings is way better than normal extra innings

Guys I'm breddy flippin excited for baseball

>>74133765
The whole WBC is a brainchild of MLB
They thought they could make money off of it
They can't make money off of the Olympics
Why do you think the NHL and NBA are always considering ending participation in the Olympics?

>>74133781

The not making money is questionable.

If the US team can win it may generate more interest in foreign markets.

Also the WBC isn't making them any money.

>>74133794
MLB would in theory get revenue directly from the WBC plus foreign markets
They wouldn't get any money directly from the Olympics plus they have to stop their season or let star players not play games in August

>>74133781
I thought the WBC was about growing baseball abroad?

>>74133794
why would US winning in any situation be good for foreign markets that already know the US would dominate if they played seriously

fucking retard go back to handegg you stupid casual

>>74133816
Yeah sure
Go ahead and think that

>>74133816

That's what I thought too

>>74133819

Because seeing the fucking players play is the first step to getting them more into the MLB.

And those fucking gooks actually think they are better at baseball.

Whatever fuck the MLB I want the Olympics and they're gonna give it to me

>>74133819
Well the World Cup helped soccer in the US and we didn't win it

>winning 3-0 in the 9th

>>74133827
MLB has no real incentive to do that
They'd either have to stop the season which loses them money during their most profitable months, or let their star players play and basically play July/August with scrubs
And both involve star players having the possibility of getting hurt away from MLB diamonds

>>74133841

There's only gonna be 6 teams.

It will last a week tops.

They'll cave and do it. But not all the best players will go I'm sure.

Is there a term or o word for hitting the ball with a handle or near-to-handle part of the bat?

>>74133836
I designed a more extreme version of that
First round: 28 teams in 4 groups, 7 teams per group, 6 games per team
Second round: 12 teams in 2 groups, 6 teams per group, 5 games per team
Then the quarters and semis are best of 3
And the final is best of 5
It would be fucking intense

no worries WBC bros, in 20 years when all the grandpas are dead or dying and baseball starts losing popularity and china decides to get into baseball making all the asian leagues richer and closer in quality to MLB then the fuckers who run MLB will realize they need a revitalization of baseball here so they'll organize new WBC where the best will actually play and it will be on FOX and everyone will watch because casuals love world cups and USA will win because we'd still be the best easily and baseball will be back bros and the new WBC will be here to stay because it's prestigious now.

>>74133871
jam shot
getting jammed

>>74133871

you wouldnt do that usually because it wouldnt give much impact on the ball

the closest thing would probably be a batted foul

>>74133880
Thank you, that helps.

>>74133857
It would probably take 3 weeks
That's 3 weeks they aren't making money

>>74133879
part of the fun of the wbc is the shortness of it, the 1 game knockouts especially, anyone can win 1 game of baseball so it makes it pretty unpredictable. Even if the US sent the very best team they could they still wouldn't be nearly guaranteed to win, they could easily lose if they run into a hot pitcher or are just unlucky with their batted balls.

and 28 is way too many teams, there are maybe 18 to 20 countries who are decent at baseball

still it'd be nice to have more games. I posted in the jap baseball thread a bit ago that I'd like to see 2 groups of 8, top 4 of each group go to a knockout round. that's about twice as many total games as the current tournament and also more knockout round games which are great

FUCKING ASSHOLE BEDARD!

>>74133952
No the one game knockouts are the biggest bullshit thing the whole tournament has
They should at least go to double elimination in that last round

The thing about 28 teams is you can have developing markets in there and you can burn off some unimportant games in unfavorable time slots
Say if this was in Japan, the US would basically have to play at noon every day. You would need something for every time slot though. I've got it all worked out

nah man it wouldn't be fun if it was just USAwinslol

though I guess even with a series a few countries would have a shot, but small ones. but shitters like netherlands, korea, PR would never win a series against USA, DR, Japan. But in the current format they can definitely win.

also if you're going to burn the unimportant games why even play them in the first place genius

2 groups of 8 then straight to the quarters is still best.

make qualifying more extensive, make it a 2nd division tournament with 16 shitter teams to crown the babby champions, and the top whatever make the next top division wbc

No, the Indians are following in their footsteps. Cavs were destroyed by injuries, went up against the bad guys and lost. Came back the next year healthy and beat the same team. The 2016 Indians had the same season, made it to the WS missing most of their best players and lost to the bad guys. It's pretty much inevitable what comes next

Actually I was wrong about the WBC adopting the WBSC rules
>Starting with the 13th inning, teams automatically start with runners on first and second base. These are the players in the two batting order positions previous to the leadoff batter for the inning.
>In the Qualifying Round of the 2017 tournament, extra inning rule will be employed from the 11th inning.

So instead of picking where in the order you want to start from, it just picks up from where you left off

Correct me if I'm wrong, but does this open up a niche possibility of using a caught stealing strategically to end an inning to preserve an AB for a hitter, since if you trust your pitching/are the home team you could have same hitter lead off next inning with 2 men on?

>>74137821
Haha good one lol, but, really, there were Indians fans all over the place right? All over the place. Couldn't go 10 posts without a lifelong Indians fan posting WINDIANS! or pictures of that bald fellow. Wasn't there also a picture of a boat?

Not a single, not one single instance of Indians fannery during the postseason. That Brazillian drives by every once in a while, but otherwise they kinda just disappeared.

Hmm.

SunTrust Park is so generic looking. Looks like they just amalgamated Target Field and Busch Stadium into one bland architectural design.

Not that Turner Field had any charm.

I mean, most new parks from 2000 onwards have had some sort of gimmick (Petco having the Western Metal building for example). Nothing in the Suntrust park renderings or construction photos points to any flair. It still has the sports bar in right field from Turner for fucks sake.

Will Pete Rose's MLB hits record ever be broken?

>>74139539
No. But if Ichiro would have started his career in the MLB, I think he would have

>>74139539
Ichiro literally would have broken the record if he started earlier

>>74139553

Ichiro had the best chance of anyone to break that record.

I don't know if anyone else can even come close.

>>74139570
Altuve has the best chance of anyone right now.

>>74139565

People crowned Ichiro the new hit king because he has the most hits of any player.

Who cares about his hits in the Japanese league? the NPB isn't on the same level as the MLB. Everyone knows that.

>his sport decides ties with a mario party minigame

>>74139632
no, the skill lies in doing that dozens of times once or twice per week for 6-7 months.

The somewhat unpunished notion of attrition and year long play created for the soviet science project athletes infected the US leagues the worst.

I mean, the worst MLB team would annihilate the best NPB team.

>>74139740
over a 7 game series to show a front rotation cycle and almost all of the bullpen and bench options?
less likely, and while the NPB has tried in recent years to breed parity, there's always been a triangle of top teams led by the Giants. The Tigers and Lions used to be in with them, but lately the Hawks and Fighters have the power.

How long do you think it'll take for Trout to get 3000 hits?

>>74140145
Eleven or twelve years.

I begrudgingly like how The Show doesn't try to ""innovate"" and enact horrible untested changes every year or so like 2k or EA.

Not necessarily baseball, but what are OOTP fans opinions on the stated goal of them turning FHM into more of a game than historical toolkit.

group C is easily the best group pitching wise at least

The DR is full of injury-prone players but they'll squeak by Canada and make it to Round 2 along with Colombia.
