/wbc/ thread: One Korea vs One China (if you follow their claims) plus Jeremy Lin vs /cric/

South Korea plays Chinese Taipei in a somewhat meaningless game that is one part salvage pride and another to avoid being relegated to the qualifiers

Meanwhile Australia will try for their second ever win in the WBC against China

Cheers to rosters user

live.qq.com/10001119

Is this, dare i say it, /ouryear/?

>"I think we're mildly prepared."

It's comfy in here

...

because the game hasn't started yet? still about 20 minutes until first pitch

Can they afford to feed the players?

Opening double taiwan is finished

Why?

Time to eat kimchi?

based taiwan

pls beat the Koreans
I will give you citizenship

youtube.com/watch?v=G5MpDZjRShk

>4.83 ERA coming into the 2nd

what a crowd

>Born Kansas city

...

...

can australia recover from last night's BTFO?

i think yeah probably

THIS TECHNIQUE

this kwon guy is supposed to be one of the better prospects in the kbo. looks good but doesn't throw very hard

australia's kit tonight looks halfway between Oakland Athletic's green & yellow, and an old-school Seattle Mariners greywash

i like it

>The state of Taipei

pic not related kek


oh shit DHL just got hit in the head

>ywn have thousands of plastic qts worrying about you

>Korea right now

>that fucking catch

Almost made me delete

Someone licks her.

That someone is not me.

...

...

>another HBP in 2 half innings

We gon have a fight maybe?

Hopefully

How on earth did we nearly beat Japan? I thought it would be a complete hiding.

Australia is no joke, I remember them DEMOLISHING Mexico.

>tfw there will never be a combined Baseball & T-20 competition

which is ironic because their only good player is actually Mexican

ha there's asian Australiaboos

I'm aware of that. I played baseball a fair bit when I was younger and there are plenty of leagues over here (cricketers tend to play it a lot too) but our record at this tournament is shithouse, and to even get close to the top ranked side in the world is an achievement.
>Silver Medal at Olympics
How in the fuck?

And then they got demolished by even more runs

>yang pitching for korea
>yang pitching for china

We didn't make it because of meme loss in the qualifers

>Israel undefeated
I wonder who's behind this?

Are we ready for Israel to be crowned the world champions of baseball?

>Be America
>Home of Baseball
>Haven't even PLACED in the world's most prestigious international tournament
>Didn't even qualify for the Olympics in the year >we won a Silver
>Israel will place before they do
The absolute state of >you

Israel will get utterly smashed by the other pools no matter what

money is king to these superstar fuckheads, and really it's the fan's fault
they think of the WBC as a joke

Who is the biggest meme player tonight?

My vote is on Leg-Kick Lee
>carrying the bat to first

baseball-reference.com/register/leader.cgi?type=bat&id=8f7d6569&sort_by=onbase_plus_slugging

Looking at this and the lineups Korea has put out almost none of their top hitters are even playing. Is the manager retarded or something, or the player selectors


oh there's that chinese outfield

Anyone in the Chinese outfield

What's a bigger joke than not doing well at a sport you're supposedly the best at? Unacceptable.

not by pool B, they'll probably make the semifinals, them or the netherlands

if they make the semis it's certainly not likely they beat a team like DR or USA but it's baseball so who it could happen

see us in the ifaf world cup m8

We just invented the sport, not necessarily the best at it. Look at England and soccer

>tfw I could be good in an IFAF game and I havent played football in over 8 years

And cricket. And rugby. And golf.
Is England good at fucking anything?

it's hilarious how low-level ifaf is
a team of Sup Forumsartans could unironically get to the finals

IT'S NOT FAIR THE ASIAN SIDE OF THE BRACKET IS SO MUCH EASIER REEEEEE NETHERLANDS AND ISRAEL WOULDN'T MAKE THE SEMIS ON THIS SIDE

kek really any anglo country at this point can just say "at least we aren't england"

>tfw you will never play in the Elite Football League of India
youtube.com/watch?v=C0iuY9CQwlE

American players are obviously the best, 2nd isn't even close.

But the American team has underperformed of course

>yfw they bring up their olympic medals
kek, literally China tier, pumping money into meme sports absolutely no one cares about and they think it makes them a great sporting nation. fucking China, even India is better.
>gooks

oho my god the bat girls are so fucking cute in this stadium
god bless Japan

Do sports get added as Olympic sports purely based on how well USA does at them? Will >we
ever get free Gold medals for shit like netball?

that qt Indian sideline reporter could probably replace most American NFL sideline reporter girls

That's probably more of Japan's doing since their major league will stop for the Olympics while MLB won't even let players on a 40-man roster on

>implying we're good at baseball tournaments
it was obviously japan that got baseball back into the olympics just in time for tokyo

besides plenty of swimming medals for the both of us

Baseball is Japan's biggest sport by far, why wouldn't it be added to Tokyo 2020

How long would it take for the Australian handball team to get good enough to go to the Olympics to partake in all the orgies? How many Olympians have qualified just for that intent?

I'm talking more about cheerleading and shit which I can't even believe is in discussion.

You had Swimming as well until Thorpe retired.

>Nippon League is pausing for Olympics
Well fuck, how far before the Olympics are they breaking? My best friend and I are planning on going to the Tokyo olympics and for the 2 weeks before as well, wanted to catch some comfy Japanese luckswing while we were there.

it's physically demanding as fuck (think synchronized swimming)
but yeah that seems pretty silly

They'd probably stop the games anyway once they heard the smelly uncultured American gaijin shouting DEFENCE OOOH OOOH DEFENCE and voiding their bowels loudly.

are we still good at surfing and skateboarding?

and who the fuck is good at sport climbing

only people who can beat us at surfing is Australia
Skateboarding will mostly be us
Climbing is all us

We have Nyjah Huston to carry us to Skateboarding gold. I'm pretty sure it's park, not pipe.

>Only people who WILL beat us
Fixed

They'll fucking choke again, though I know it. Like twice in a row for BMX. Like constantly for hockey. Like Pullin in the snowboarding.

what, no

brazil is elite at surfing

and
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IFSC_Climbing_World_Championships
almost no USA flags anywhere, and the few there are were in the 90s

don't know shit about skateboarding

you must not know how the olympics work
USA always wins with meme events

what? are you fucking stupid

the US wins three things, swimming, athletics, and gymnastics. Plus basketball of course

we win the occasional meme sports just because of our large population we're bound to have some people who are good enough and rich enough to compete at something else, but the meme events are dominated by the few meme countries that happen to care about them or by the countries that pump government funding into them (china, britain). no one else cares enough

we win shit that actually kind of matters

what are you so angry about? I literally didn't bother reading your post past the first line because you seem so seething

please don't put muscular /cric/ in the op

No clue

>going to the olympics in person

but how are you supposed to watch 4 events at once?

Tae kwon do involves a lot of that, using your front leg as ballast to add momentum to a strike. I'm never surprised to see Koreans do it in any other physical activity, TKD is basically the national sport.

Watch them when NBC broadcasts them later that night :^)

that's like saying you're not surprised if you see a japanese man arm thrusting like a sumo wrestler

this is weird as fuck, faggot

Baseball is really the most patrician sport

I listen to kpop and watch korean dramas and movies but at least I'm not a faggot koreaboo like you

More Koreans practice TKD than Japanese who practice sumo. It's part of their mandatory military training. Not saying it isn't out of place in baseball, just saying I'm never surprised to see Koreans do it.

Hi again. Not sure why you posted a second time but this was a weird thing to admit, you kdrama faglet.

HBP is very たのーし

you scumbag
