Cuba and Italy advance

The tiebreaker that decided Pool A was: fewest runs allowed per defensive out recorded.

In other words, divide each team's total runs allowed in pool play by the total number of outs they recorded on defense. The two teams with the lowest numbers advance.

Cuba allowed 15 runs in its four games, and recorded 108 outs, resulting in a ratio of .139 runs allowed/outs recorded. That was the lowest in Pool A.
Italy allowed 17 runs in its four games, and recorded 108 outs, resulting in a ratio of .157 runs allowed/outs recorded. That was the second-lowest in Pool A.

i'm not sure if anyone saw the US game last night but it appears that the team has decided to make saluting each other their "thing" for the WBC. worst

jesus christ

Tracer Hand, Sunday, 12 March 2023 17:12 (three years ago)

don’t all team record the same number of outs unless they’re the home team and they’re winning in the 9th, which is arbitrary? am i missing something?

Tracer Hand, Sunday, 12 March 2023 17:13 (three years ago)

yeah, you'd think they'd be pretty similar for each team! i guess extra innings might change things, or if the mercy rule cut things short

it's a new day in the international landscape (z_tbd), Sunday, 12 March 2023 17:22 (three years ago)

craziest is that taiwan ‘finishing last’ means they’ve been relegated and will have to go through qualifiers to make the next WBC

Canada’s starting pitcher Quantrill coughing up 3 runs in over 30 pitches in the 1st inning so far. Did not see this happening.

giant bat fucker (gyac), Sunday, 12 March 2023 19:24 (three years ago)

Buck Showalter has a very difficult voice to listen to

giant bat fucker (gyac), Sunday, 12 March 2023 19:24 (three years ago)

Quantrill loads the bases, manager comes to take him out. What is happening

giant bat fucker (gyac), Sunday, 12 March 2023 19:26 (three years ago)

The pitcher Canada brought in to replace him was brought on during the ad break, the commentary was in the middle of saying “…was about to give it all up to become a farmer.” When he gets the third out to end the half-hour top of the 1st, commenter says, triumphantly, “Not many farmers can run like that.” This is Madbum erasure you know!

giant bat fucker (gyac), Sunday, 12 March 2023 19:30 (three years ago)

Ok Canada had a home run and we missed it cos of the ad break! Sigh.

giant bat fucker (gyac), Sunday, 12 March 2023 19:32 (three years ago)

Freddie Freeman is on his second at bat in the first inning. We’re still in the first - oh wait he actually is out. Unreal how bad this is. An hour for a single inning!

giant bat fucker (gyac), Sunday, 12 March 2023 19:55 (three years ago)

More of the same in the second

FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Sunday, 12 March 2023 20:02 (three years ago)

It’s so bad. Five pitchers in 1.5 innings!

giant bat fucker (gyac), Sunday, 12 March 2023 20:04 (three years ago)

Another walk. My god.

FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Sunday, 12 March 2023 20:17 (three years ago)

"…was about to give it all up to become a farmer.”

hell yeah phillippe aumont

career bb/9 in 46 major league appearances: 7.0

mookieproof, Sunday, 12 March 2023 20:23 (three years ago)

He apparently did retire and is a farmer!

giant bat fucker (gyac), Sunday, 12 March 2023 20:27 (three years ago)

Commentary: in the UK it’s prime time Sunday and the pubs are watching this game…You never know when a kid watching in London is going to be captured by this game

this game?!

giant bat fucker (gyac), Sunday, 12 March 2023 20:28 (three years ago)

xps to Mookieproof: your boy Russell Martin was shown on screen trying not to laugh at the plays

giant bat fucker (gyac), Sunday, 12 March 2023 20:29 (three years ago)

I think this team could probably use Russ on the field.

Also these Britain jerseys are godawful.

“I’m thinking of the British fans at the pubs…” goes on to name five pubs

giant bat fucker (gyac), Sunday, 12 March 2023 20:50 (three years ago)

That was pubs having official watching parties

FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Sunday, 12 March 2023 20:53 (three years ago)

Which is 5 more than I would have expected.

FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Sunday, 12 March 2023 20:53 (three years ago)

Yeah I know, but earlier they were talking about it like this was on in a load of pubs and we were laughing

giant bat fucker (gyac), Sunday, 12 March 2023 20:57 (three years ago)

This bottom of the 3rd has been going how long

giant bat fucker (gyac), Sunday, 12 March 2023 20:57 (three years ago)

Two hours to play three innings

FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Sunday, 12 March 2023 21:01 (three years ago)

Lol they just said this game has been going on so long it might jeopardise bp for the US-Mexico game

giant bat fucker (gyac), Sunday, 12 March 2023 21:07 (three years ago)

Lmao what

giant bat fucker (gyac), Sunday, 12 March 2023 21:10 (three years ago)

This is brutal. Someone get Fergie Jenkins in there to end this fucking thing

FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Sunday, 12 March 2023 21:12 (three years ago)

“A reminder: this is only the top of the 4th”

giant bat fucker (gyac), Sunday, 12 March 2023 21:15 (three years ago)

wow, 16-8 in the 5th inning. potential contender for the mercy rule in a couple more innings

it's a new day in the international landscape (z_tbd), Sunday, 12 March 2023 22:03 (three years ago)

We are all praying for mercy at this point.

FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Sunday, 12 March 2023 22:22 (three years ago)

every once it's a while it's good to take in a horrible game of baseball

it's a new day in the international landscape (z_tbd), Sunday, 12 March 2023 22:26 (three years ago)

typos but just going to roll with that for now

it's a new day in the international landscape (z_tbd), Sunday, 12 March 2023 22:26 (three years ago)

Hopefully Canada can get some more runs here, the mercy rule is needed very badly

giant bat fucker (gyac), Sunday, 12 March 2023 22:39 (three years ago)

Ok. We’re mercy ready. Just need a clean 1/2 inning here.
Was good seeing Axford out there.

FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Sunday, 12 March 2023 22:43 (three years ago)

P. Aumont (W, 1-0)

mookieproof, Sunday, 12 March 2023 22:59 (three years ago)

the Venezuela team looks pretty good. surprised Puerto Rico is the favourite for the second seed over them

Wow - US getting spanked now!

FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 13 March 2023 03:46 (three years ago)

it's a beatdown

it's a new day in the international landscape (z_tbd), Monday, 13 March 2023 04:04 (three years ago)

I mean, it’s not 18 runs. Yet.

FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 13 March 2023 04:19 (three years ago)

The lads behind the plate are a lot of fun and they should beat the shit out of the baldhead who comes and gives them crap for having fun

Its big ball chunky time (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Monday, 13 March 2023 04:56 (three years ago)

i like the guy who impersonates the umpire turning to the right and pointing while calling a strike

it's a new day in the international landscape (z_tbd), Monday, 13 March 2023 05:01 (three years ago)

was korea/china the first mercy rule game?
