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)

    • That's great, congratulations to both of you! I wish her a good recovery. 
    • This is not a full retirement, but kind of a break/sabbatical due to...reasons.    For those who have been following @brunamoura's journey towards and last February eventually, finally, at the Olympics, this might be an interesting update. The 2030 Olympics are still in her sight, but next year's world championships in February seem...unlikely.   She still needs to do at least two surgeries, one on her nasal cavities due to a chronic inflammation that has been bothering her for years, and one on her legs. In the Olympic season she struggled immensely with pain in her legs, which in the freestyle technique made her sometimes just not even able to move and therefore finish or even start the races. The Olympic 10k freestyle was hard and painful, but she managed to get through it. We knew she was dealing with compartment syndrome, which is quite serious and certainly needs to be dealt with surgically, but the recovery time for that meant that doing so during the season would likely jeopardize the Olympics - again.   The plan was to do the surgeries this year, but that's unlikely to happen now...    
    • My admittedly tiny sample at least made it feel like the safest and nicest place     Milan....I was very glad to be out of there, Bologna almost felt even worse, and I was also happy to leave Trento behind after barely a day there   Livigno didn't feel bad like that, the issue there is that Livigno people seem to believe the world outside of Livigno doesn't really exist.   Every time I have been in South Tyrol though, it always just felt...lovely, cozy, nice, friendly, and so on.   But obviously that is all a matter of opinion. Besides that I mostly went on statistics and Alto Adige generally scoring very high in things like quality of life and low crime rates  
    • Very interesting Article, not a lot of vast shocks in it, but great that she's found some happiness. She switched allegiance to Ireland from the US quietly a few years back, but I'd say the odds on her acting on it are pretty long - still, it maybe feels like a little statement of emancipation to herself, in which case, good on her.
    • That Kazda´s first goal was also something else

    • Article about one of the shadiest stories in athletics history, the story of teen phenomenon Mary Cain and her relationship with Albert Salazar and the whole Nike setup.  Happy ending - like several other athletes who never quite made the transition from teen success to adult, Mary is now on the way to being a medical Doctor.     ‘Like cutting the head off a hydra’: how Mary Cain exposed Nike’s disgraced coaching team | Athletics | The Guardian
    • Had a very strange career. Absolutely looked like the Crown Prince when Bolt was King, but after Bolt retired his only medals were in relays, nothing at all solo.  Drug rumours did not help.
