What a game. :GBR qualifies for the WBC for the very first time. I don't think it's overstating things to say this is the greatest moment in the history of British baseball.

You can argue that winning the  Baseball World Cup but beating the USA in 1938 might be bigger, but that was a tiny tournament compared to this

Unbelievable. Czech Republic is going to the World Baseball Classic. First ever fully homegrown European team. Huge for not only Czech baseball but for European baseball as well

WBC Qualifiers are back next Friday in Panama. :NZL vs :BRA then :PAK vs :ARG.

I pick :PAN and :ARG to advance out of Pool B.

Panama is definitely the favourite but I think the 2nd spot will be a battle between Nicaragua and Brazil. Argentina isn't as strong as those 3 teams in my opinion.

September 21st Final Scores:

 

:CZE Czech Republic 3-1 Spain :ESP

 

Amazing run by the Czech Republic to qualify for their first WBC tournament after getting thrashed 21-7 by the same team they beat tonight! Even though I'm not sad they missed out, you do have to feel for Spain a little bit. They were two outs away from qualifying yesterday before Great Britain came back and then they lost again tonight. Reminds me a bit of the 2011 MLB World Series in game 6 between the St. Louis Cardinals and Texas Rangers.

 

On another note, it hasn't officially been confirmed but I'm seeing from multiple sources that these are the updated pools.

 

:TWN Taichung :JPN Tokyo :USA Phoenix :USA Miami
Pool A Pool B Pool C Pool D
:CUB Cuba :AUS Australia :CAN Canada :DOM Dominican Republic
:GBR Great Britain :CHN China :COL Colombia :ISR Israel
:ITA Italy :CZE Czech Republic :MEX Mexico :PUR Puerto Rico
:NED Netherlands :JPN Japan :USA United States :VEN Venezuela
:TWN Taiwan :KOR South Korea :WHT TBD :WHT TBD

If this is true, then both Great Britain and Czech Republic have good chances of winning a game and staying in the tournament for 2026. Miami Marlins superstar Jazz Chisholm has already committed to playing for Great Britain which is a huge boost for them. The pool is pretty open so I wouldn't be surprised if they go on a surprise run like Israel did in 2017. Wins winning against Australia, Japan and South Korea will be almost impossible for the Czechs, they do have the luxury of being in a pool with China who in my opinion is the worst of the 16 pre-qualified teams.

    • Yes, everyone is Orbán-supporter who doesn't believe Ukraine is snow white! How will change GDP if the price of the petrol increases? Because the main pipeline is shut down! And there is no any problem according by the EU!

    • It looks like the IIHF is sticking with 3-on-3 overtime for all events moving forward.     BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO    
    • Although it was a terrible Olympics for Canada, and my two favourite sports (Hockey and Short Track) really didn't work out for us, there were a couple of fun times.    -Women's Pursuit team winning gold because while it was not unexpected at all, it was still a great triumph against an amazing adversary.    -Dubreuil getting a surprise bronze in speed skating 500m.    -Really all of speed skating, Canada and otherwise.    -I really want to say Dubois getting gold in short track, but the whole thing was a mess.    -The last two ends of the men's curling gold medal game.    -Kingsbury getting gold. But it was more relief than excitement, unfortunately.    -I really like the luge relay. Canada was not involved, unfortunately, but it's always fun to watch.    -Men's freeski big air final was nuts! In all the good ways. That was truly the highest level of competition I've seen in a very long time.    -The dog crossing the finish line in cross country, which should have been the meme of the Olympics (not that...other thing).
    • Apparent Gu and Atkin do not like each other at all anymore. They were good freinds a few years ago but now hate one another.  I’m not sure Gu and Li Fanghui like each other either that much.
    • It was also nice to have actual crowds again. I think the Beijing organizers did the best they could given the COVID regulations that still existed in China at the time, but it sure did dampen the atmosphere *a lot*.
