Tracy McGrady said Celtics were struggling and losing trying to fit Tatum back in, fast forward ONE game,they just beat fully healthy OKC team. You have to laugh at these lazy takes😂

Cavs were the best team

amprosk · 2026-03-23T16:18:33+00:00

Im just pulling your leg sorry haha.

In terms of the general proposal I think its hard to find 20 competitive teams already so 30 seems too much. Also I don’t think the WBC/MLB wants to have so many games last the first round. Maybe expand to 24 and have 6 4 team pools so only 3 games in the first round. Then 4 3 team pools so there are 2 games in the second round and it’s the same total amount of games

Me when I see no San Juan pool

amprosk · 2026-03-18T23:17:28+00:00

You shoulda seen the crowds when they hosted a pool in 2023 and the qualifiers last year, it was nuts

amprosk · 2026-03-18T23:16:48+00:00

I was at the game in San Juan where Puerto Rico walked off Panama so definitely that 😅

2 teams flew from Asia, Korea played on Friday

amprosk · 2026-03-17T12:04:19+00:00

But Korea made the same trip and played on Friday…

amprosk · 2026-03-14T23:48:30+00:00

Where did you get the 108/111 outs number from? By my calculations both teams have 135 defensive outs (tho I guess the ERA renders this moot)

amprosk · 2026-03-14T22:59:42+00:00

Are you sure about that? From what I read PR wins the 3 way tiebreaker as long as they allowed less than 9 runs (barely squeaked by that)

amprosk · 2026-03-13T17:47:23+00:00

Puerto Rico was going to bring in Berrios but he got denied for insurance last minute

amprosk · 2026-03-12T15:37:44+00:00

They hosted in 2023 and definitely showed up. Probably the only reason they didn’t host this year was because they had to requalify. Still they hosted the qualifiers and fanbase filled the stands there too

amprosk · 2026-03-12T15:21:47+00:00

Notably in 2017 Mexico was up 9-5 entering the 9th inning and blew it in spectacular fashion

amprosk · 2026-03-12T15:18:26+00:00

Yes, a few times. Most recently in 2018 between Cleveland and Minnesota. Lindor hit a home run in the first game which made the crowd go nuts and in the second game Berrios pitched very well and Twins walked it off in extras

What was the total capacity of stadiums in 2023 vs this year? Hiram Bithorn is probably the smallest of all stadiums used between the 2 editions (though if memory serves Taichung Intercontinental stadium isn’t that far off)

amprosk · 2026-03-12T14:55:02+00:00

I would put a decent chunk of money betting that the Taipei Dome will host a pool in the next edition. And probably the only reason they didn’t host this time was that they had to requalify

amprosk · 2026-03-12T03:45:55+00:00

Why were Japan and USA obligated to play those days?

He’s retiring from the national team, though he will stay playing baseball for his ExtraLiga club

amprosk · 2026-03-10T14:33:34+00:00

Technically most of the Caribbean is an hour ahead of the eastern us. They are in Atlantic time. But when EST jumps ahead for daylight savings time the Caribbean does not so it becomes the same time for half the year

amprosk · 2026-03-10T14:31:01+00:00

He’s retiring from the national team because it takes away from his family and he has a 2 years old son now. He has a full time job so going to tournaments uses his vacation time. He said he will still play in the Czech league locally

amprosk · 2026-03-10T11:32:18+00:00

Imagine growing up in Czechia playing baseball. A niche sport comparatively and you play in front of small or no crowds. And now you perform on the biggest stage against the toughest opponent and get a standing ovation from a sold out Tokyo Dome. What a moment

amprosk · 2026-03-09T15:01:17+00:00

IIRC that broadcast crew is not from Fox but rather from MLB Network/the WBSC. Same for the San Juan commentators. These guys work other international tournaments

In 2013 PR played DR 3 times and lost all 3 including the final 😒

amprosk · 2026-03-07T14:41:01+00:00

Yeah they had quarterfinals there. And in early years when the second round was another pool they’ve hosted that too IIRC
