Not sure why he's starting
You'd think they would rest him for games 1 and 3 of Pool E
>USA lost to the fucking twins
top kek
>>74575697
Canada lost to the Yankees.
Are Dutch typically good goys?
>That one Dutch player whose only statistical involvement was walking 90 feet
Although getting him on there was probably the biggest controversy of the game
>>74575728
They play good soccer and, apparently, good baseball too.
I'm picking the Dutch to win.
i LOVE the wbc!!!
>>74575672
>You'd think they would rest him for games 1 and 3 of Pool E
If they win they play Cuba Saturday. If they lose they play Japan Sunday.
So he has 3 or 4 days rest and its not like he will be throwing 100+ pitches.
>>74575712
that's not nearly as bad as the home country of baseball losing to the fucking twinks lmao
Hello
It's 4 o' clock at night here
What is this?
I did not know we had a baseball team
We get to use this image for the next round when its Israel-Japan
>>74575767
but they weren't trying lol
(((STEIN)))
>>74575767
But according to the world, Yankee=American. Hence, Canada lost to America.
>>74575795
(((Shlomo)))
And here we go!
>Designated Hitter Andrelton Simmons
Who'd ever thought that term and that name would be used together?
ok you guys... that's great... real funny. let's give the antisemitism a rest now, ok??!
>>74575824
Gee, I wonder who could be behind this post?
One of these two teams along with Japan will most likely be going to the semifinals
>>74575770
A pretty good one at that. They made it to the semifinals in 2009 and have already secured a spot in the 2nd round this time.
It's the World Baseball Classic. Started in 2006. Netherlands is pretty solid, mostly due to guys like Xander Bogaerts who are from Aruba and other Dutch colonies.
>>74575824

Really? We're Letting Israel, a terror state that has destabilized the Middle East, stole Palestine, and killed countless innocent civilians play baseball. Is this what the world has come to? Fuck Israel for all their crimes, it's disgusting what they've done to the middle easterners
>>74575873
>crimes against humanity
>middle easterners
>humans
>>74575873
There's like one actual Israeli on the team, it's mostly American Jews. I wish WBC had stricter nationality rules for that reason.
>>74575871
Yeah, even when Korea was playing there were only like 100 people.
MLB needs to reevaluate these venues. Tokyo's cool, but...this is sad.
>>74575840
semis in 2013, 2nd round in 09 and they beat the DR twice. no 2nd round in 06 but they did throw the first and so far only no hitter in the wbc
>>74575895
no it was nearly full when korea played, which isn't saying much since it only seats 17k
>>74575840
Really now.
No one here plays baseball, so I guess it's indeed just people from our colonies who are playing in the Americas
Fuck this meme tournament. Didi you better not get injured you clog
>>74575895
>Tokyo's cool,
44k when Japan plays
maybe 6k when not
>Profar
ayyy
Good Goy
>>74575911
Yeah it's mainly Aruba and Curacao, which weirdly has recently been pumping out a bunch of baseball talent.

>>74575782
He stopped posting videos on his YouTube channel in 2015, and I started to worry that he may have passed, but it seems he's still alive and kicking. Facebook seems to be his platform of choice in 2017.

Good grief, what was that Dutch player thinking?
>>74575911
don't lie
we already know about the honkbal
>>74575929
>japanese people digging out from work to watch commies play
yea, not even americans would do this
>>74575912
kysmm
>>74575911
nah like a third of the team was born in the europe netherlands and most of them play in the dutch league
>tfw I already bought tickets to the finals at Dodger Stadium without knowing who will play.
wtf why are the netherlands pitching some grandpa
>>74575935
>39k people at the cuba-china game
I wonder if they made folks buy the entire strip in order to get the three Japan tickets?
>>74575998
Because he's the wily veteran. Aren't you listening?
>a screenwriter in his spare time
you can't make this up
>>74576007
Idk, I feel like it's a good excuse for high tech nippon to laugh at the futile efforts of communist shit holes. And just laugh at China in general.
>>74575951
hah
only now I realize that must sound pretty funny to anglos
>>74575970
What, really? Our league isn't televised and results aren't reported on the news or anything. I couldn't name a dutch team even if I tried. Hell I don't even know if the city that I live in even has a team.
Is Holland really still officially a kingdom?
What role does the monarch play? Is it just like Britain where they're a lovable figurehead with no actual power?
>>74575985
tfw finals week is the week of the finals
2021 i guess...
>>74576076
Pretty much.
>>74576076
>lovable figurehead with no actual power

And pass them some guns on the DL at the end.

Do Nippon fans ever riot like vancouver

Only because of people like you. And they care a lot in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico.
What part of the Israel are you guys from?
>>74576535
Yes, yes, you've posted this a lot. Save it for the next round.
>all these washed up minor league players
What happens when they start facing actual talent?
>>74576560
They're beating a team with every shortstop in the league

Burchan saved that play
>>74577601
Any idea who will pitch for you guys against Venezuela and Puerto Rico?
Gallardo is slated to pitch tonight
where is Ryan Braun?
is he too good to play for the Jews
>>74577614
Probably Miguel González, we're super shallow in pitching depth.
>>74577628
Seems like it will be a rough go for you since you've got poor pitching and nearly no offense
does anyone have a YouTube stream?
>>74577647
Luis Cruz will lead us to the promised land
ALL PART OF THE PLAN
Burcham got caught in a fucking bear hug
>>74577628
what, pitching is easily your strength, almost every one is in the big leagues or at least has big league experience. And no offense at all
@whoever was in the Japan vs Aus / Taiwan vs Dutchfag thread asking if my Taiwanese girlfriend had any trap friends, I just asked and she does not
That is another shoah
Hugged
fuck these umps
Fuck that shit, give the jew his extra base
is there really no challenge system in the WBC?? Isn't this ran by the MLB?
>>74577693
Why the fuck would anyone ask about that?
>>74577693
Why would your girlfriend have trap friends to begin with?
>>74577718
manfred is testing out removing replaying in order to speed up the game
>>74577718
They said earlier that replay can only be used on disputed home runs, and it's initiated by the crew chief.
>>74577718
For some reason the first round only allows replays for homers
>>74577726
>>74577727
Idk it's /sp/, you're a bunch of queers
>>74577718
I think they mentioned that as the games go further forward, replays will be instituted. Right now, it's basically Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Andrea Bocelli, and Lemon Jefferson as umps
go ahead cameraman
where did he go
How come he won't even play for his people
>grow the game
Who the fuck in Europe is watching this?

OY VEYYYY
YOU BLEW IT
two shots right at the 2nd baseman
Didi, why?
oy vey
didick
Somehow it's only been 3 hours for 7.5 innings for this essentially meaningless game
I kind of remember Didi being hilariously unclutch at times
It's like what they say, when you give the Jews 2 chances to turn a double play...
>>74577970
he was clutch yesterday though
no real advantage in seeding here, no teams are without an off day in between in the 2nd round
though for the americas bracket the group winners get 2 days off instead of 1
>Commentator implying this is professional

Not today

What the fuck is this commentary now

>>74578065
It's a game between every shortstop in the major league against Jewish minor leaguers
What else are they gonna talk about?

Actually they'll both play Sunday, Tuesday, and Monday so there's no real difference at all

wow.
TBQH, I really thought mlb heavy Netherlands was going to curb Israel
inb4 Korea goes 0-3
>Jews sweep the Pool
[sounds of hands rubbing against each other]
Palestine is not a state and never should be
The US has never gone 3-0 in a pool before
wtf?
>>74578164
you're retarded desu
netherlands isn't going to curbstomp anyone with their pitching staff
>>74578169
the best US players will literally never ever field a full team in the WBC, spring training is just too important to their big money contracts
this year may be the strongest US team ever though
>>74578196
this year might be the worst team ever
06 is by far the best team ever, that team was very nearly as good as it gets, the only thing that could've been better was the outfield
>>74578225
06 may have had the best players, but they did not try to win at all
the mentality behind every USA team was that the WBC is for fun and just like playing exhibitions
I think this is the first truly patriotic team that wants to win for their country
>>74578169
USA doesn't care about meme tournaments
we did it my american jewish friends!
>>74578303
>>74578303
never doubt the jew crew
don't ever disgrace my flag again by putting it next to that kike abomination
>>74578303
Out of curiosity, how much attention in Israel is being paid to this tourney? Is interest picking up as they keep on pulling off upsets?
