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, she was unlucky, but it could just as easily have happened during some training, like with Gut, etc. Brignone has been essentially injury-free throughout her long career, which is very rare in this sport. It's unfortunate that this happened after her best season ever and just 1 year before the Olympic Games in home, when she just missing of win the Olympic gold medal in her great career. With the gold in Cortina, she would have become a legend of Italian skiing, on par with Tomba. Now she's still the best Italian woman in history, but the miss of Olympic gold will likely haunt her for the rest of her life. 
    • It sad to see this season, as I remember, that Fede last year was winning everywhere, when she competed and finished and now we haven't even managed a single podium in the giant slalom, and it'll probably stay that way until the end of the season. Without Fede and Bassino, unfortunately, we're out of good cards in this event. For me Goggia should probably skip the giant slalom at all, becouse she has no chance of a podium and she risks further injuries. If even Goggia finish 8th or 10th? What difference does it make? If she couldn't get a podium finish today with so many DNFs at the top skiers, she probably never do. Della Mea is OK this year, but let's be honest, she's not World Cup podium material. Overall, it's a sad picture, and we have a 0% chance of anything in Cortina unless a miracle happens in Brignone return.   We have two chances for Goggia in DH and SG + maybe a dark horse in Pirovano/Curtoni in SG. That's all. In technical events, we have a 0% chance for medal and that's sad. Our federation also lost Colturi in this situation... In any normal country, the head of such a federation should be dismissed for disciplinary reasons and this case should be investigated by the minister, or even the prime minister, but not in Italy...
    • Mikaela Shiffrin  off the podium today (Edit: Oops...I thought this was slalom, not Giant Slalom.).  Nina Astner  entered the 2nd run in 30th place, but had the best second run, jumping up 18 places to 12th.
