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)

    • Eventing for example has many supporters with tons of money and a lot of connections. It will fight for its future - it’s not going to just say that’s ok and toddle off. Sailing has that as well.    I could also see Eventing trying a new format that keeps it as mix of dressage and show jumping with maybe some sort of new third can that can be done in stadium. 
    • Ya that requires a… finesse I’m not sure she has.
    • just found out there will be some from of qualification for the Taekwondo competition in Nagoya. only 16 athletes can participate in each event.   The Asian Championship in Mongolia this month will act as the sole qualifier   top 7 from each weight (Olympic and non-Olympic) + 1 host quota + 1 wildcard = 16 quarterfinal losers will be ranked based on their QF match result. (3 of them will qualify)   https://worldtkd.simplycompete.com/files/eventDocuments/0df00d4e-dcbe-4b3b-aa2d-ce573a202074.pdf
    • It could all go wrong when she has to explain why some sports are being cut after many many years. Baseball is the only one that ever has gone through that fully recently
    • But makes me thing one of them could go. Maybe the outdoor ones based on bigger venue costs. 
    • Suspect that could backfire for the IOC. 
    • She really needs to work on being (or at least sounding) less snarky / sarcastic, it has bitten her in the past and it will keep biting her if she doesn’t address it.   I think so far she’s been really bad at sounding conciliatory on controversial issues (whether it be Russia, Vladyslav Heraskevych or “women in sports”), but it’s too early to judge her on the changes she is making to the movement.
    • Or African. Or Asian. Or South/North/Central American.
    • Same as with every single IOC president, past and future, including any other candidate: not happy with it, because sports and events I like are being removed or cut to ridiculously small numbers, and that's never going to change     In terms of overall policies, they will all be the same: kind of flowing with the world's politics and trends. None of them are ever going to be amazing, none of them are ever going to be seen as great especially on a forum like this (besides maybe some in the past because there's always people thinking 'everything used to be better' ).
    • Or, and just hear me out, we add a few relays - and the 50 meters - to the swimming program. That could be a nice way to mix things up and at the same time give swimmers a chance to showcase themselves a bit more than in the currently limited pool program.
