the most exciting week of the year for all the baseball fans is coming! :cheer:

 

all the main Baseball Leagues in the world in fact are about to start their Final Series

 

on Friday night, it's MLB World Series time

 

on Saturday, instead, it's NPB Japan Series time

 

and by the end of the week, also the KBO Korean Series will be underway

 

 

MLB has its own dedicated thread, here we go for a recap of the NPB and KBO

 

 

the NPB Japan Series will be played by the Hanshin Tigers (Central League champions, defeated 4 games to 0 the 2024 JS series DeNA Baystars Yokohama in the CL Final Series) and the Softbank Hawks Fukuoka (Pacific League champions, defeated the Nippon-Ham Fighters Sapporo 4 games to 3 in the PL Final Series, after going up 3-0 and being chased until 3 games apiece before winning by a score of 2-1 in game 7)

 

the JS format is best-of-7 series, with the classic 2-3-2 scheme

 

game #1 is scheduled for Saturday, October 25th in Fukuoka @ 6.30 p.m. local time (11.30 a.m. CET, 5.30 a.m. ET in North America)

 

the following games will be played on Sunday, Oct. 26th again in Fukuoka (@ 6.30 p.m. local), on Tuesday, Oct. 28th, Wednesday, Oct. 29th and (if necessary) on Thursday, Oct. 30th in Nishinomiya (always @ 6 p.m. local)

always only if necessary, game 6 and 7 will be back in Fukuoka (always @ 6.30 p.m. local) on Saturday, Nov. 1st and Sunday, Nov. 2nd

 

 

the Korean KBO, meanwhile, has still to determine the LG Twins Seoul opponents in the Korean Series, as the Playoff Series between Hanwha Eagles and Samsung Lions is currently tied at 2-2 (it's a best-of-5 series, game 5 is scheduled for Friday @ 6.30 p.m. local time, 11.30 a.m. CET)

 

back with more details when the playoff series is over

Hanwha Eagles defeated Samsung Lions 11-2 in game #5 of the KBO Playoff and advance to the Korean Series for the first time since 2006 (they only won 1 KS out of 6 appearances so far, in 1999)

 

they will face the RS champions, the LG Twins Seoul (KS champions in 2023, more recently)

 

the 2025 Korean Series (best-of-7 series, 2-3-2 scheme) start on Sunday, October 26th @ 2 p.m. local time (6 a.m. CET, 1 a.m. ET in North America) in Seoul

 

game #2 is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 27th (6.30 p.m. local), also in Seoul; meanwhile the games 3-4-5 will be played on Wednesday, Oct. 29th, Thursday, Oct. 30th and, if necessary, Friday, Oct. 31st in Daejeon (always @ 6.30 p.m. local time)

 

if necessary, the series will go back to Seoul for the games 6 and 7, which are scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 2nd (2 p.m. local) and Monday, Nov. 3rd (6.30 p.m. local)

 

rainouts and changes to the schedule are always possible, as both teams play in outdoor stadiums

Oh boy Canada's only chance to qualify is through the WBC. Ouch. It's so over already xD

 

(Either way, this is an awful qualification system, especially for the Americas, not in terms of number of quotas but in terms of how they are decided)

    • It's good that at least there will be no indoor sports in the winter at the Olympics, apart from sports on ice.
    • I think they are already building a Diamond stadium for Baseball for the Brisbane Games, so I will wonder that it would be already spoken...
    • race walking has cooked itself by becoming more and more a farce because of incompetent, biased and sometimes corrupted judging 
    • Golf debuting in Rio was... unfortunate because it required actually building a venue. Golf in 2020, 2024, 2028 and 2032 are all using existing venues that required no or very minor renovations. So I suspect it's pretty safe. It's a similar situation to tennis, building a venue is very expensive but most cities that would host the Olympics already have an adequate venue nearby.   My understanding is that Olympic golf has actually been doing pretty good numbers ratings wise, at least in the US.
    • Don't remember that. If IOC faces legal challenges on top of the internal politics... Yeah, good luck to cut anything.
    • 2000 yes, but mainly and was also even provisionally excluded from the Athens 2004 games program, but our NOC joined a lobby coallition with French Canoe federation, went to the court and succeeded to maintain it at the games.  
    • Will have hidden consequences for the number of athletes competing in each discipline and the numbers of medals awarded, that is what is worrying.     Also, the other long term argument is: Who owns the sports at the Olympics?  The federations that run them, or the IOC?  At the moment this is a big powergrab by the IOC.  
    • Another exemple. Canoe slalom was supposed to be excluded for the 1996 or 2000 games (don't remember), not the whole canoeing sport. But really, having the commission chaired by a guy coming from one of the sport/discipline the most at risk (plus a couple of members from the commission also coming from other at risk sport/discipline) is the best argument that nothing substantial will come out of it. For a century, every IOC president has pledged at some point to review and cut the program left and right. No one succeeded.
    • not sure why people got so excited about this "separating disciplines" things. Freestyle and Greco were always separate disciplines in IOC documents. nothing new   and any news saying the UWW is trying to develop women's Greco is garbage and should be disregarded. there is no such a thing. they have an idea about developing the beach wrestling (which is indeed a terrible idea) in case they have to add more women's events (or replace men's events with women's events) but that's a long shot. nobody took beach wrestling seriously so far.   I'm hearing about this since I was a kid and actually I was reading an old newspaper from 1960 (more or less) saying the same thing about the Greco   at this moment men's Greco is more popular and diverse than men's freestyle around the world. men's freestyle is easily dominated by 4 countries.
    • How is golf rated? Was it a success? In Brazil, nobody (or probably very few people) cares about it, but I suppose it's popular in many countries?
