Well, I wasn't expecting to win but I definitely wasn't expecting to be losing 9-0 after 1 inning :facepalm:. You gotta feel bad for the starting pitcher, Mitch Bratt. A 19 year old minor leagues and you're asked to pitch against possibly the greatest offense of all time. 

 

I am secretly hoping the plan was to treat this as a throw away game and that we saved our better pitchers against Colombia and Mexico

which would be a smart idea...if only the main tiebreaker wasn't the "runs allowed/outs" ratio...:crazy:

 

also the win with big margin vs :GBR...unfortunately, you risk to pay the prize for the 8 runs allowed more than what's the reward for the 18 runs scored.

 

with the current rules, a 1-0 win is worth a lot more than a 18-8, I fear.

 

by the way, pool C might turn into another "pool of chaos" like pool A, if the next games go according to my pervert plan :p :lol:

Which I imagine USA beating Canada and losing to Colombia, and Mexico beating GB then losing to Canada.

by the way, our great win vs :NED has sorted out some good news for the baseball fans here in Italy...:cheer:

 

our TV (Sky Italia) has decided to show all 4 quarterfinals live and not only the game of our guys as it was previously announced. :yikes:

 

we can really say that last Sunday it was a miracle win, in more than one meaning...:d

    • It's true, but Colturi still only 1 person and for example in the men's slalom we have tragic results. In giant slalom again we last won many years ago. For example, Switzerland has a complete team, which has not only stars but also wide teams in every discipline + young successors.   Scattolo is an option after 2026. For now, all that remains is to count on Vittozzi's return - apart from her, no one is able to regularly stand on the podium.
    • That was the IBU Cup winner spot, guaranteed for the first two weeks (won by Michelon last year). Galmace Paulin will definitely not get a spot in January. If someone has to be demoted, it would be Chauveau, to make room for Botet. Galmace Paulin is like 5th or 6th in the pecking order at the moment.
    • Maybe Galmace Paulin can take The Spot of Richard, Michelon or Chauveau later this season. In Hochfilzen France Had 7 Spots, not sure What happened. If The french Team can get Back that Spot, then Galmace Paulin should be The First candidate.   Tannheimer, Michelon, Richard, Kirkeeide and Andersson are all more likely than Not To make The Podium this Season in my opinion. With a bit of luck, half The Top 10 in The Overall Ranking at The end of The Season could be athletes born in 2002 or later.
    • Biathlon: I think your Coaches should promote Scattolo.  Alpine skiing: Things Would Look very different if Colturi would Compete for You.  
    • It also appears 1 noc has withdrawn   https://oca.asia/news/5781-harbin-2025-awg-organisers-confirm-record-number-of-entries.html
    • If my figures are correct, I confirm that this is the international debut in top-level competition for Turkmenistan, Kuwait and Thailand. i believe it is also the debut in a senior competition for Mongolia
    • The Youth Olympic Games have used the group format before due to a large number of entries. The 2023 Winter EYOF also used a two group format in the mixed team event.   Still, it's cool to see so many nations registered for the Asian Winter Games. 
    • Stage 10 in Alta Badia (ITA)   Men´s Slalom:   1. Timon Haugan    1:45.40 2. Loic Meillard    1:46.53 3. Atle Lie McGrath    1:46.66   Full Final Results HERE
