Panama's 10th inning loss to the Netherlands ultimately cost it a spot in the Super Round.

 

Still, a great tournament for them. This is all the more reason to want a 12-team tournament at the Olympics.

Earlier today, Taiwan beat the USA 

 

Of course it's far from the best US team but it's still a big deal for Taiwanese baseball

Of course it's car from the best US tram but it's still a big deal for Taiwanese baseball

very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today 

 

not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)

 

Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound

 

Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'

 

Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC) 

there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year

 

Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
