Yes, because why not waste even more money

To be fair, Japan probably has tens of Olympic ready softball fields.

If Japan scores an home run, the match is over.

So IOC will only use canned audience audio for a few sports and softball isn't one them? I have only realized now that it's missing here. Maybe I got used to not having spectators during COVID because I didn't feel like the atmosphere is missing. It also helps that you can't see the stands for most of the broadcast.

This adapted stream is such a travesty on ESP Player. Just let me choose my own quality ffs

Softball is different in that the players traditionally create a lot of atmosphere, so that is maybe why.

Yeah, but for the Olympics there are lots of stupid requirements.

I honestly like not having fake fan noise.

So, after a shaky start Ueno does good, AUS really had a chance to blow this game open in the 1st. They only scored 1 there and missed their chance. You won't be getting much more against her and Japan.

And they load the bases! OK, pitcher change.

Bases loaded without a single hit! :woot: C'mon Australia!
