Israel will not even take part into the qualification process, since most of the MLB players who started for them in the last WBC are not eligible for International play under the IOC rules...

and in any case, without their best MLB/Triple A players (they won't be able to show up at the final OQT because it will be held when the US leagues are already playing their season), they don't even exist on the Baseball chart...

 

the Euro/African spot would eventually go to the Netherlands...they won't even have to bother of Italy, since the new boss of our federation is trying to destroy our National team by not calling anymore the US and/or South American born Italians...so, we won't be competitive at all also in that tournament...

Its a shame baseball only gets 6 spots and sports like field hockey get double that.

 

A sport that can't get it's best athletes to participate doesn't deserve to be at the olympics, and much less does it deserve to have that many quota.

I think Baseball would be deserving of 12 spots if the MLB sent it’s best players. Until then, it’s a hard no for me.

 

Also, keep in mind baseball teams are the biggest teams in the Summer Olympics, and the second biggest teams in the Olympics period (only men’s hockey has bigger teams, and by one athlete) at 24.

Can't baseball teams be smaller? It looks like a lot of people....

Same thing happens for Spain, who came second in the last European, beaten by Netherlands in the extra time. Most of our team is made by latinos born to spanish inmigrants and don't have nacionality so they can't play the qualifiyer...

Is this certain? How can Israel represent Africa? They lost in the qualification for the European Championships 2019: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_European_Baseball_Championship_–_Qualification

 

And now they are representing Africa just like that? Israel isn't even in Africa. It's in Asia. And in Sports, athletes from Israel traditionally are part of the European Federations.

Ah! I somewhere read that Israel was a representative of Africa. But if they played in the European qualification, it would really surprise me if Israel can play in the OQT for Africa. Thanks for this information!

no, because you need a lot of pitchers* to make a team...

 

*pitchers can't throw/play every game/every day...once you've thrown a certain number of pitches, then you need a few days rest before you're able to start a game once again...

and also relief pitchers, who normally throw a few pitches a game, once every 2/3 days of work they need a day off...

you just can't pitch when you're gassed out (and, moreover, it's very dangerous...the more workload you carry, the higher is the risk of injury...and especially for pitchers, elbow and shoulder injuries are lethal)...

      Alpine Skiing FIS World Cup 2025 - 2026

      By copravolley · Posted

      I`m a traditionalist and I like alpine skiing competitions in the morning hours, illuminated by the sun In ski jumping this is practically non-existentthis in contrast the early 21st century (It's nice that at least there's Planica at the end of every season). There are also traditional competitions under artificial lights, like in Schladming or Madonna di Campiglio. There's no need to do the same thing everywhere as in ski jumping. Alpine skiing finals are rarely super exciting, because usually everything is clear and the skiers are tired from the long season. Finals were often canceled, so this year it was okay for me. If someone wanted a spectacle, that's what the Olympics Games or the World Cup in Kitzbuchel.

      Baffling scheduling again. It's like FIS want to drive people away.    It's the Finals, on paper your big conclusion to the season, yet it feels like "let's get this over with". Just compare how the ATP treat their finals with this.   Ok, you want to have the GS & SL on Tuesday/Wednesday. That's fine, i've been advocating for more mid-week starts to begin with. But why, oh why do you have them in the middle of the day, on a work week.  Why aren't you having them in the evening, in prime time, when people are off work. Make it a big special event, which people want to visit and not during the day in front of a 100 fans. It's not that hard to choose a place with some floodlights.     And even this week we don't have Champion League football, so the night is free from big competition. Perfect opportunity to have alpine skiing on TV right now, but noooo.
