>>77709634
oh second link
nice, chillbon first. hope they advance
games started
and the chillest batter ever hits a clean double.
fucking love these guys.
nomai nomai
this guy is getting hammered
>>77709818
chill, it's fine
>the city of fighters stream guy right now
i cant remember ever seeing a tagout on first at koshien.
tokai didnt see it coming, they fell for the chill trap.
ugh more false score dingers
real score is only 0-1
pitcher too chill to baserun
fuck tokyo reee
>>77710442
i think that final will be East Tokyo vs Hiroshima
both teams are good a lot
>>77708247
this is comfy
>>77710501
yeah its always comfy
Hola amigos!
a homerun in the first inn, what a bastards
>>77710784
hola hermano
you lost yesterday games, the last one was badass as fuck (see the youtube video that someone posted)
that walkoff wew lad
>>77710852
Miyagi winning in the final, cool
i believe in koshien miracles
i believe in the chill heroes of sonbon
make it to the highlight reel this time, boys
>>77711063
annnnnnnnnnd died
too much pressure for chill at the end there i guess.
never gonna make the highlight reels
>the city of tokyo
even when other teams would be bawling their eyes out they're chill
cameraman literally chasing the ace to try and get a tear on film
who´s NARA here?
>>77711535
>zooms in on sweatdrop
will this do, director?
>>77711582
im both
this pitcher is odd
stop they're already dead
Can't be hanging slop in the 70mph range no matter how funky your delivery is
>>77711941
>>77712087
the next two games will be better since that both teams played yesterday as well
>bunting when you're down by 4 and in the middle of a potentially huge inning
stop, stop, stooooooop
what the fuck
retards, this is what you get for bunting, took yourselves right out of the fucking inning, their should just commit sudoku desu
>>77712249
The japanese predilection for bunting no matter the situation combined with 99% of their hitters doing the leg-kick into diving at the ball makes me wonder if these coaches have actually spent a second investigating whether that shit's effective.
>>77712220
there was a 3 rbi on a bunt just the other day
>>77712389
that was a bunt for a hit, completely different than a sacrifice attempt. Plus it was the defense's fault it was more than 1 run anyway
>>77712444
errors on fielding bunts are forced errors in my book, a good bunt isnt easy to field.
HAHAHAHA
Good idea, have your back-to-back HR hitters in the first inning sac bunt against a pitcher that can't get shit out. Absolutely dishorrabur
BLOOPED
roku-yon-san
rack em
>leading team has no runs since the first
koshien death flag
>>77713050
death flag averted
all these homeruns these first 2 games are not ok
im calling shenaningans
yakuza funded flubber like meta-materials have been applied to select balls
>>77713237
its a super power team vs a team from suburbs of tokyo
what you wanted?
>>77713480
a smallball koshien like im used to.
if all this HR garbage keeps up they might start thinking like the americans that bunts have no place and then the game is dead for the entire earth.
>>77713607
bunts are meant the used at right place
use all times can be stupid for the team
>>77713731
HR are meant the used at never
use all times can be stupid for the sport
>>77713752
speaking of which, the grandslam of losing
cant keep a rally momentum going with no runner pressure
if you try to pick off first but throw over 1st bases head and get an error and the runner runs to second but someone is in in time to throw it to second to get an out, is it still an error
>>77713841
in japanese baseball that is counted down as a keikaku doori
>>77713862
>keikaku doori
translator note: its all with the aussies plan
next up is the return of the Attack on Toins
Did Ikuei use up there meme magic to take down Toin yesterday?
>>77714173
i hope so
but hiroshima also has meme magic

>>77714048
>>77714511
lmao mex-chan
>>77713841
no since no advance
but now I'm wondering if in the same situation the runner tries to go all the way to third but gets thrown out. technically he advanced a base but he got thrown out anyway. an error then a caught stealing I guess
fucking sendai always getting thrown out on the basepaths
>>77714733
why did you make this
>>77714783
beacuse i wanted do a infinite docomo with cm for memes
it's so weird watching these kids run, they look like they're moving well and pretty fast but it takes them so long to get between bases, they definitely take several more strides between bags than the average big leaguer. Guess you don't really realize how good of athletes most MLB players are. These kids are quite a bit shorter than an average MLB player also, though that doesn't matter for speed all that much really
>>77714981
most of them are probably very tired and sore now too. MLBers get pampered with way more rest time.
>>77714733

W I T H
just got home.
what's happened so far today?
>>77715087
nothing so much today
yesterday was epic tho (see first posts)
>>77715087
but still there´s a game left today
aw fuck they brought in ace kun
ace is shaky, not used to relief work. got to get him here before he settles in
anyone know what this runner's theme is?
that's probably game
fuck
>>77715189
you really dont saw this team yesterday game
>>77715198
they have to face a fresh ace-kun though. also 4 run deficit now
>>77715202
>they have to face a fresh ace-kun though. also 4 run deficit now
they played also yesterday
>>77715221
they just brought in ace kun though, he's fine
>>77715202
>>77715225
>fresh
not this shit again, burger-kun
they played just yesterday and not long before that either and whoever wins plays in 2 days.there is no such thing as "fresh" this late in koshien
>>77715231
he's fresh in this game. These kids are used to throwing a hundred pitches in practice or in a game every day anyway, ,hey train specifically to throw a hundred pitches in consecutive days just for koshien, by your definition they would literally never be fresh. But in this game he's fresh, his stuff is about as good as it can be right now and he's their best pitcher, sendai is fucked.
also he only pitched 4.2 innings yesterday
whats going on here?
injury? dehydration? stalling tactic?
>>77715262
the point i made yesterday to the Denny's lover yesterday was that "fresh" doesnt mean anything here. a fresh pitcher can still fail and they regularly do as they're getting into the zone. and its not like the pitcher is the entire defense like in the MLB. you want to keep your players in good condition to make it to the end of the tournament? you better have them all supporting one another, pitch to contact, solid fielding. errors are the true enemy here not exhaustion.
an exhausted player in the zone > a fresh player thinking too much.
>>77715285
well sure anyone can have a bad day, but it's certainly less likely that a fresh ace will fuck up than an exhausted backup starter, especially after the first couple batters when he might still be dusting off the cobwebs.
and there shouldn't be any real difference in stuff one day to the next. Pitchers don't pitch in consecutive days anywhere else because they know that eventually their arms will break down, but until it does there wouldn't be a noticeable difference in stuff one day to the next, it would probably take several days for real physical problems to pop up, at which point they just can't pitch anymore probably. But most of these kids probably don't give a fuck about their arms, this is Koshien it's all they live for in baseball, most of these kids even the aces aren't going to make a living off baseball in the future.
The effects of exhaustion will start to show up sooner every game but at the beginning of each outing he really shouldn't have much problem. Like you saw Bumgarner in 2014 or Kershaw last season throw a start then come back two days later out of the bullpen, they can do it, their stuff is still there, it's just not recommended for the long term.
Plus also teams aren't retarded anymore, they're trying to protect their pitchers at least a little bit, a lot of the aces have been used more as relievers that only come in when if they're really needed or as starters but taking them out if the game is well in hand.
see they took out the ace already, game is in hand
>the second game score was 13 to 9
well shit, looks like I missed a good game.
>>77715355
or perhaps they were too hasty, kek hope it comes back to bite them
>double play
nope they're fine
nothing like getting a triple off a "fresh" pitcher
remember that innings 8 and 9 are the miracle time for trailing teams. batter spirit UP.
>>77715396
he's not the ace though
and as I said, of course a triple can happen at any time, but it's still less likely to happen off a fresh ace than an exhausted backup who is struggling.
anyway this game was well in hand, it would take some luck to come back from this without the defense fucking up, regardless of the pitcher.
oh fuck all trams play today. How did sanbonmatsu do?
>>77715412
ive seen wider margins cleared at koshien especially in the later games.
theres a reason koshien is the most popular sports event in japan, it's doramatic
>>77715383
The brought in a reliever in the 10th with the bases loaded and he gave up a grand slam
>>77715424
lost 1-3 if you dont count the 6 points from 3 homeruns.
T-they're just setting up for an epic come back...
>>77715440
lol should have bunted more. Or did they just choke?
>>77715479
Maybe dont give up 3 bombs to start.
When is Japanese American football season? I remember watching that with a bunch of people from /sp/ years ago.
>>77715440
>points
never reply to me again
>>77715497
I know it ends around around christmas, so maybe october/november
>>77715479
they were too chill when they needed to be hot and too hot when they needed to be chill
>>77715463
this is always how it is
>>77715500
its "points" when its from homeruns
"runs" are for when you actually do it.
>>77715509
>its "points" when its from homeruns
>"runs" are for when you actually do it.
Wrong. Any score in baseball is called a run. 2 run homerun, 3 run home run, etc
COMEBACK ENGAGE
>>77715497
>>77715505
Koshien bowl is almost on x-mas and Tokyo Dome Bowl is on january
>>77715529
thank you my friend
oh god my heart, that tension
>>77715516
>Wrong. Any score in baseball is called a run. 2 run homerun, 3 run home run, etc
well thats like your opinion but homeruns arent real runs so theyre just points
>>77715547
It's literally not an opinion.
>>77715346
>Like you saw Bumgarner in 2014 or Kershaw
who? are youre implying other people here watch SuperSmallStadiumSteroidSluggerBall? this is the baseball thread.
>a lot of the aces have been used more as relievers
thats really a terrible strategy when you take into account shaky starts where the ace will end up compounding the problem and in the sense that if they have career goals, koshien is the place to shine, you dont shine as a reliever in a single elimination tournament where your team could suddenly lose in the last inning without warning.
>>77715573
that's your opinion and i dont respect it.
i mean if it was really a "run" then why do they jog when they do it?
One more game, yeah?
>>77715612
It's not an opinion my good roo friend. It is the official term for the sport, in the rules, in the hall of fame, in every literal form of the sport.
By your logic a bases loaded walk is a point.
How can you call 1 run a run if the guy scored from first on a double and one run a point if the guy tater'd the ball into the seats.
Do you score games with 2 different sets of points?
4-0 runs and 2-1 in points?
The official term for the sport, is run. This is not an opinion, it is a fact.
>>77715612
please stop watching our sport
>>77715638
>>77715640
so typical of the fat american to go out for a jog to Denny's to eat a grandslam and come back calling it a run.
>>77715671
Thanks for giving up. Next time just admit you're wrong like a big boy.
>>77715679
>never runs
>also doesnt get the point
typical american
wow I can't believe how many home points have been hit in the SSSSSB this year
really impressive
>>77715732
i probably run more than 99% of this board man.
>>77715766
run from the fact that homeruns should be counted as fouls.
>>77715777
dem digits.
yall need to calm down and enjoy the game. Stop being children.
>>77715777
>1900-1910 baseball was the best era, everything after that was trash
\We truely have a connoisseur of baseball on our hands here
this number 8 looks old as fuck
>>77715786
Ray Chapman died so you could dong your dingers
looks like we got a junkballer on the mound for saitama, he kind of threw an eephus there, nice
Look he hit a foul bal
>>77715786
I dont even watch baseball I just check boxscores from 1911 on baseball reference
>>77715815
i wouldn't mind calling it a "back foul" or "home foul" or something and retaining that whole thing that traditionally happens where the batter and runners go back to the dugout, just without any points, fouling should not be rewarded.
he picked the ball up in time desu
>>77715615
yeah today is the last day that is 4 games
>>77715783
i agreee with you
This got ugly quick
rip tohoku, feels bad man
>>77716103
it's only the 6th. stranger things have happened.
bunch of shitty games today. missed the only decent one, though even that one looks like it was shit until the 9th when it almost got interesting
obaachan is drooling
>tfw you'll never get interviewed by a qt jap grill
>>77716145
thanks god that those games winners will duel between theyselfs in semis
tomorrow is day of so, i will try make a mini pawafuro tournament with teams based on users here
>>77716260
make me a qt girl
>>77716302
ok-then xD
>>77716260
can you make homeruns illegal?
>>77716346
i was thiking your team 0 in home runs level and 99 in buting
about the rest, it will be random
desu today I'm bored
>>77716382
im also desu
today is day off, i will post some cool stuff so check it out later
>>77716364
im not a fan of random.
i want chill af fielders and a count efficient contact pitcher and a coach who never substitutes mid-inning and not a single 2slow butterball mclardo on the team.
>>77716382
im disappoint.
>>77716439
its quarterfinals, its the most boring part in any tournament since that the always the stronger rapes hard the weak teams that had luck to get into this part of competition
