I'm glad the Czech team managed to finish in 3rd place, against Israel(ish conveniently Jewish Americans), (Caribbean) Netherlands, Jersey Shore (aka Italy) and (Former) Spain('s Colonial Empire).

To be perfectly honest, Italy having 40 players in baseball + softball would be such a waste of quotas.  A lot of events have fewer total quotas than that.   So, I'm hoping for Israel and Ne

and tomorrow in Parma, after the warm-up (a dangerous warm-up, as they start from the 6th on a 4-4 tied score) against South Africa (11 a.m. CET), Italy will face Israel in a match that could prove the qualification decider...

 

first pitch at 8 p.m. CET...live streaming on the usual Youtube's WBSC page...

I’d prefer :ESP or :CZE if possible

Them qualifying in baseball/softball won't prevent other athletes from qualifying (unlike the Youth Olympics), so why not.

I think he is talking of the fact that with only 6 nations per tournament, most of them can qualify for both sports, so there are very few different nations

I'd rather prefer a competitive baseball tournament...

 

and without the MLB players, neither Italy, Netherlands nor Israel can guarantee anything close to "quality games", therefore I'd rather leave all of them home...

 

but, since it's impossible to do that (unless all european teams reject this quota), Israel would be my primary choice, as they can add more quality players (pitchers, especially) to this already reasonably good team in time for the Tokyo Olympics...

 

ITA and/or NED (especially our team) would only lead to a few blowouts next year...:facepalm:

Italy had to wait until the extra innings to close the match vs RSA...:facepalm:

 

at least, in the 10th it was an explosion of our offense...they scored 6 unanswered runs and the game was over (thanks also to a spectacular triple play in the defensive half of the inning that sealed the deal)...

 

final score, :ITA Italy b. :RSA South Africa 10-4 (after 10 innings)

 

and tonight, the showdown against :ISR Israel (8 p.m. CET)

      Sarcastically of course, cheering for the fact she basically received no punishment     Tennis and football are jokes in terms of combatting doping.

      Excited as always   My main thought was "alright, only 18 countries in the women's race and apparently no wildcards for anyone, that's decent news"
