Thanks BRo. You've made this year's Koshien loads more enjoyable.
>>77757941
You're welcome
I hope make threads for JapSeries and other baseball tournaments
how buttmad are Toin right now that not even the guys who beat them made it to the finals?
>>77758533
a lot mad
Its being a good year to hiroshima in baseball
Leading Central League and now on Koshien final
>>77756627

>>77760397
>not using the best chat app that has even video chat now
>>77760405
>using video for a "chat" (more than 2 people)
skype and google proved this was terrible meme years ago.
>>77760405
becasue im happy with irc, i don't see the point of using it, It's not like a i'm a gaymer or i want to do a videochat
I'm thinking Koryo takes this
>>77760460
i dont like video chat too, i use more for text chat
i dont like IRC beacuse connect to it using the links and other stuff seems confused
>>77760468
i also am thinking on this
they look to be a very strong team

What school?
>>77760590
>not listening the Koshien theme song

>>77760622
i think that it was nara
>>77760623
comparing a piece of music that has to be forced on them vs a piece of music almost every school band has naturally gravitated to playing.
1:19 p.m. local time.
Who Saitama Strong here?
>>77760673
>comparing a piece of music that has to be forced on them
>the music was created by a HS Students about HS Students
>>77760693
i am only eating french bread
i am neutral but i cant wait for ONEEEEEEEE PUNNNNNNNNCHHHHHHH memes
BTW for those that has NHK World Premum, the game will be broadcast the Koshien Final
US/CANADA can see on TV Japan
https://tvjapan.net/en/
>>77760673
Aussies also get TV Japan
http://www.japantv.com.au/
>no tohoku prefecture has ever won koshien, not even spring
didn't know I was dreaming an impossible dream desu
anyway go hiroshima because saitama is literally tokyo and fuck tokyo
>>77760843
Shiba is more tokyo than Saitama btw, Saitama at least its more original than Chiba
Face it. The real tragedy here is Chiban Wakayama after a gutsy performance against Okinawa down 6-0 before their bro got beaned to rally 9-6 for the win. Then losing a close game to the Darth Vaders next round.
How many bongs before it starts?
>>77760982
15 bongs
>>77760807
never heard of it. (link doesnt even load)
what's tv?
>>77760972
At least Toin got BFTO too
>>77760995
yeah cable TV, check NHK World Premium/TV Japan with your cable company
>>77761015
>with your cable company
it's 2017
>>77760991
*bings
>>77761047
so bings is for minutes and bongs its for hours?
>>77761038
>it's 2017
Sorry if cable companies are retarted
Question of the night.
Will Tokuharu decide to pitch to Nakamura?
>mfw pawafuro roster in ps3 is bigger as fuck than other consoles requiring me to try find even more memes to make teams for random stuffs
at least has support for 54 teams so i can even make a baseball tournament like 4CC, besides fps is a little shity and some graphics are still bugged (at least it makes a little funny)
it's ON
saitama or hiroshima?
IT BEGUN
rip hiroshima
IT REALLY BEGUN
3 batters, 3 hits, 2 runs, 0 outs
gotdamn
>>77761068
>Sorry if cable companies are retarted
???
it's 2017, who even has tv anymore?
>>77761296
>it's 2017, who even has tv anymore?
old people
>>77761284
first innings gonna first inning
Well pretty rough start, but with how tired these pitchers have to be I'd be stunned if this game doesn't end with 12+ total runs
>mfw i will miss Karin cm
>>77761343
they had a rest day tho
>>77761349
Is her manga even popular in nipland?
>>77761364
Even in MLB the pitchers get like 5 days rest between games................
>>77761368
a little, the webmanga is still recent, but she is growing, at point of even made a commercial for a natural pills product
ONE PAAAAAAAAAAAAWNCH
>>77761364
The total pitch counts for the tournament though are absurd. Anraku a few years ago had lost basically 10 MPH by the end of the tournament. Not seeing a huge dropoff like that so far, but your breaking stuff definitely starts to flatten out first.
>>77761411
you are right, they got really tired after all
specially when you play 2 days in a row
Why didn't the previous dude just go for a bunt?
>>77761446
why not??????
imagine being one of the benches that people sat on in the stands. they are probably all so sweaty from the heat so it'd be gross if they sat down on you
These are the most ridiculous hit and run swings I've ever seen
i forgot to post yesterday´s WebM that i got recorded
>>77761508
its about to rain tho
it has a rain forecast around 40 mins
>>77761466
I'm talking about the koryo guy when it's still only one out and the second and third base are loaded. Why don't he just go for a bunt and sacrifice himself? At least they can close the gap rather than risking being outed for nothing.
Saitama's really letting this guy off easy. Up 2 and trying to force something with that hit and run in the 2nd inning instead of letting your hitters work the count
>>77761535
In that situation even a grounder that manages to get through scores two, and sac bunts aren't automatic, especially in high school.
christ that pitch would have hit a lefty batter, show some plate discipline ffs
>>77761520
This tie was amazing
>mfw no replay games in this year
>>77761615
>>77761636
>>77761615
nice
>3 innings
>60 pitches
RIP koryo pitcher. he is slowly choking. almost hit a few people.
>yellow guy is in the southpaw stands today
guess we know which team he's betting on
>>77761681
today was a busy day to watch games tho
japan stopped to see this game
>>77761726
whats that got to do with yellow guy?
yellow guy is there for every single game of koshien.
Was that Nakamura's first strike out?
If he's a third year, he'll definitely get drafted.
>>77761766
yeah, but see how stadium has more people than other any game of koshien
lot of people wanted see this game so bad
>>77761782
what's that got to do with yellow guy though?
he's always either right behind righty batters or lefty batters when the camera does their hero shots (i believe he chooses based on which batters he think will get him into highlight reels). today he's behind the lefties.
>>77761801
idk tho
what the fuck was that second bunt
rip koryo
YO~NNNNDATEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!
>hiroshima getting BFTO
ONEEEEEEEEEE PUNSHHHHH
Live look-in to Hiroshima right now
Tragic drop, Jesus Christ.
koryo comeback when
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD
>>77761912
8th or 9th as always
COMEBACK TIME
Come on, Koryo!
>didn't even have their ace in
they literally weren't even trying and they're up by a gazillion
what do they sing
c'mon saitama, nothing left for this game other than bomb jokes, a grand slam would be perfect
wew, absolute blow out
>this team made the final
literally how
I can't wait for the Hiroshima tears
>>77762067
Game 2 yesterday was essentially the final.
kore wa nisu play
imagine fucking up like this in front of your cute kouhai
this is bad
shameful display of hiroshima pitchers.
I haven't seen this many Japs choking to death since the Tsunami owl thread
no mercy for them in final game?
┏༼ ◉ ╭╮ ◉༽┓ get it together lads
>>77762092
she would go fuck the opposing team's ace because of this shamefur dispray
>14 runs
>0 (zero) bombs
one fucking job
>Be one of 2 team out of 4,300~ to make it to the finals of the biggest sporting event in your country
>Spaghetti this hard
almost feel bad for them.
>>77762145
[smallball intensifies]
>the fucking """"""state""""""" of hiroshima
>>77762155
B-but Hiroshima is a city...
on the flipside of all these defense errors, koryo must really believe in them as batters
>>77762178
....to not sub them i mean.
>a bunt
>a fucking bunt
>when down by 11 (eleven) runs
I actually cannot believe this
>>77762187
each team only carries so many bench players
>11 runs behind
>man on 1st
>better bunt
Like a rotten log
half buried in the ground -
my life, which
has not flowered, comes
to this sad end
has to be the most retarded thing I've ever seen watching baseball, I mean c'mon have some fucking sense
>>77762192
they subbed the pitcher immediately
they have not subbed anyone else.
it's belief.
>>77762193
Yeah, that was gross.
>>77762147
not the worst BTFOing ever at koshien.
toin won 17-0 in 2008.
>>77762226
Yeah, I was Toin posting the game they lost a few days ago
>>77762193
bunting isnt just for making 3rBI superplays. it can be used in normal situations too.
>>77762249
True, but giving away outs when you're down by 11 in the 6th isn't all that smart.
comeback begins NOW
>>77762263
intelligence doesnt matter now, we're beyond the mind, we're beyond the body, now is the time for spirit.
>sac bunting when up by 10
bean him
Why is this koryo pitcher still smiling and shit after getting BTFO several innings ago?
>>77762330
they're at koshien, they know better than to get cocky especially with the thunderstorm of the last 2 innings approaching.
so were the blue hats the favorite for this match up?
>>77762330
This is HS ball mate, HS ball between teams that have been playing almost daily for a month. No lead is safe.
>>77762381
Yeah. Other team kinda stumbled into the finals.
>>77762361
soon he can enter the 2D realm
>>77762383
>>77762364
if I had money I would bet all of it that they will not come back from this
>>77762396
Not saying they will. just saying it's not unheard of.
>>77762396
actually that would be pretty pointless since I'd barely make anything back since the odds would be a gorillion to one in my favor
>>77762396
>betting everything on high odds bets that can still go wrong
dumb gambler.
>>77762408
it's not impossible that I'll win the powerball either, but it's not going to happen
>>77762408
How does sportsbetting work anyway? if the odds are in your favor, do you only win like $1 or something? Nonetheless isn't that guaranteed money
I think the largest lead to reverse was 11 or 12. So it's not impossible per se.
But I still think Tokuharu will take it down same as I thought after watching all the teams after the first round.
Though my semifinals were vastly different.
>>77762433
You win money based on the odds.
Lower odds lower payout. Some bets don't even pay out what you bet.
>>77762420
Pretty much. Say the odds are 5:7. The first number is your investment the second is your return.
>>77762453
meant for
>>77762433
>pitching to the guy that broke the tournament HR record
I guess it doesn't matter if you're up by 10, right?
S A I T A M A
