meanwhile Italy are 5-1 ahead of the Czechs in the bottom of the 8th inning, which means that we still have to manage one last Czech offensive inning before we can get our 1st win in this tournament (bot 8th is an offensive inning for ITA)...

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)

      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!

      Your favorite moments at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026

      By orangeman · Posted

      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*.
