>its another molina gets strikes called from the opposite batters box episode

>>74796976

I'm just saying it's interesting, since Curacao isn't partially independent or autonomous or anything. It's just 100% part of the Netherlands. We have plenty of players in other sports coming from Curacao as well, but baseball is the only sport where they add ''The Kingdom of'' to our name.

In the National League pitchers bat same as every other player.

In the American League they have a Designated Hitter who hits in place of the pitcher because pitchers suck at hitting.

Why don't they play kike? Is he really that bad now?

>>74797897
they sing the national anthem after the 7th inning

im not joking

>>74797914
Okay so in the American League, they have a guy who bats for the pitcher. He doesn't field though, his job is to swing. In the National League, the pitcher bats for himself, it usually doesn't go well. It comes down to preference.

The DR is relatively becoming the fastest growing economy in the Caribbean. Puerto Rico is technically richer but they are unfortunately in a shit load of debt and Cuba is a communist shit hole.All the other Caribbean nations are basically Africa tier apart from the European and American owned beach resorts. Spanish Caribbean people are actually self aware of their shitty conditions and make an effort to improve their home lands by investing capital into housing, education and infrastructure.

Who?

Be honest
Do you really want the better American players to play in this or these guys who are there and laying it all on the line?

>>74798039
Standard, I'm a college poorfag

Just realized why watching the wbcismuch more enjoyAble than any regular season mlb gameis because of the overall pace of the game. Mlb would still be stuck on the 7th pitch in the bottom of the first. These guys dont do 'tactical' pauses or need guys to take 30 sec between pitches every single time. It's so refreshing seeing guys just play ball.

Lol. He looks like such a stiff out there.

And all his "hits" in Spring training have been weakly hit opposite field singles.

Wonder if he'll even be able to advance out of Low-A.

>>74798049
wew, no. These wbc games have been going 4 hours plus regularly. They have been incredibly slow paced, endless mound meetings and pitching changes, see right now. Also not helped by the fact that the commercial breaks are definitely longer than usual here

MLB games average 3 hours btw

>To see how this works, look at the performance of Lance Barksdale and Tim Welke. While they both follow the league’s general trend of increased accuracy — more about that later — they have, respectively, been one of the best and one of the worst umpires over the past seven years.

Baseball games used to take 1:30-2:00 hours in its golden age.

Fun fact: Cruyff loved baseball.

Cruyff recently stated, “I have had a special interest for baseball since I was a kid. What a lot of people don’t know is that I could have been a youth international in baseball for the Netherlands. Because football was going so well, I had to quit but the special bond has always remained."

Yeah the new ball physics are looking sexy, and the updated player models aswell, San Diego studios is really efficient considering they have such a small team.
