@hckošice I just wanted to thank you for organizing these replays. It's always a mess looking for them, but you made it so easy. Thank you!

I mean, I still find it odd that two teams have to fly around the world and play in a completely different time zone while their competition is sitting there waiting and resting.

I'm sure when that happens Canada will find new ways to screw up. /bitter

Lol. What year to be a Canadian sports fan. Congratulations to Venezuela!

God damn it Japan.

Canada beat PR head-to-head, so I have no problem there. Canada also won their group, unlike Venezuela. But I don't like short qualifiers like this where each team doesn't play each other. And it seems like runs surrendered is arbitrary.

Listen, I don't make the rules. I just enforce them ruthlessly.

HR! Japan just needs to hold on to win and Canada is into the Olympics! (I think)

But I think the first tie breaker is total runs. It just goes to earned runs because total runs are tied between Canada and PR.

I think 8 is enough. I can't double check now, because Im out.

Wooooooooo!

Wait, if Italy only has 8 innings (24 outs) with 8 runs, I think that puts Puerto Rico behind Canada, doesn't it?

One more!

Yeah, this week kicked my butt. I wasn't able to watch a lot of paralympic stuff. I would watch highlights when possible, including the 8th end of this match. Crazy ending.

Agree. What rugby did for Oceania, baseball does for Central America and the Caribbean. Having said that, I totally understand the cost of hosting this sport in non-baseball countries, such as France. However, I think LA should have at least 8 teams, if not 12. It's a sport where players can play virtually every day with little rest, and they could have possibly used Angel Stadium to have more games.
