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

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

They play good soccer and, apparently, good baseball too.

I'm picking the Dutch to win.

i LOVE the wbc!!!

>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.

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

but they weren't trying lol

(((STEIN)))

But according to the world, Yankee=American. Hence, Canada lost to America.

(((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??!

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

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.

SHUT IT DOWN

brought to you by didi gregorius' apparently outsized ego

>not having faith that the shit posting nation will shit post their way to the semis

excellent crowd on hand today
based seoul

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

>crimes against humanity
>middle easterners
>humans

There's like one actual Israeli on the team, it's mostly American Jews. I wish WBC had stricter nationality rules for that reason.

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.

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

no it was nearly full when korea played, which isn't saying much since it only seats 17k

...

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

>Tokyo's cool,
44k when Japan plays
maybe 6k when not

>Profar
ayyy

Good Goy

Yeah it's mainly Aruba and Curacao, which weirdly has recently been pumping out a bunch of baseball talent.

>39k people at the cuba-china game
who are they trying to fool, there were only a few thousand

>profar

>Dutch baserunning

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?

don't lie

we already know about the honkbal

>japanese people digging out from work to watch commies play
yea, not even americans would do this

kysmm

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

>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?

Because he's the wily veteran. Aren't you listening?

>a screenwriter in his spare time

you can't make this up

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.

hah

only now I realize that must sound pretty funny to anglos

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?

tfw finals week is the week of the finals

2021 i guess...

Pretty much.

>lovable figurehead with no actual power

p much every remaining monarch in europe desu

oy gevalt, they at it again

>mfw israel wins a wbc before america

America would throw the game against Israel and let them win

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

How is the Tokyo Dome gonna react when they get btfo'd by the jews
Do Nippon fans ever riot like vancouver
