Even though :LTU qualified for 2019 European Championships in July 2017 - the rules were changed after that and :LTU had to battle :AUT for qualification. Unfortunately without the main players :LTU were destroyed and our ECH debut won't be happening. :cry::mad:

The fuck is that bullshit? Changing the rules after teams qualified?

The rules were changed in May 2017 (so 2 months before the start of the pools later won by Austria and Lithuania), on the CEB website you can also download the letter sent to all federations on 11 May 2017:  http://baseballeurope.com/download/utejudyj1494602776.pdf/European championship seniors 2017-2019.pdf

and last night Italy had a disastrous outing against Spain, who won 8-4...

now we have to face the Netherlands already in the semifinals on Saturday, which means that 1 of the 2 European powerhouses (and it's gonna be Italy, I fear) won't qualify for the U-18 World Cup later this year...and for Italy this would be the final nail on the grave of our hopes to earn a spot to the senior 2019 Premier 12 (the 1st and only global qualifier to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics)...:facepalm:

Today is the opening day of the 29th Haarlem Baseball Week, the most important tournament for National teams held on European soil...

 

This is the official website:

https://honkbalweek.nl/

 

Participating teams:

 

The Kingdom of the Netherlands

Cuba

Japan

Germany

Italy

Chinese Taipei

 

tournament format: round robin play followed by a modified page-system playoff (with the top 4 teams of the round robin still on course for the final success)...

 

unfortuately, it looks that there's no TV and/or streaming coverage...:cry::facepalm:

@heywoodu do you have some info about it?

Nope, but I'll ask on a Dutch forum. I do know that they didn't find a main sponsor, so they're depending on many small local sponsors. The good news is that ticket sales are going well, the match against Cuba is almost sold out already (3000 people) and 75% of the sky boxes have already been booked. Basically it needs to be a financial succes (or at least not a loss) or else it's probably over, since this is most likely the last chance for the tournament.

yes, but unfortunately they stopped the live broadcast after less than 7 innings (not to mention that it was just a still picture from behind the catcher and nothing else)...:facepalm::wall:

 

however, good but unlucky outing for Italy...we lost "only" 1-0 after 10 innings of play in a pitchers' duel "for experienced fans" only...:cry:

MVP for Italy, the starting pitcher Luis Lugo, with only 2 hits given up and good 9 K's in 5 innings...

    • People keep keep saying that Trump is Hitler reincarnated, but all these Day 1 proposals are sensible & unifying.   https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=08IIenrXCRQ     NB video is a parody.  
    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons

    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW.
