bangbang023 Veteran Posted March 16, 2006 Veteran Share Posted March 16, 2006 Yep PR is out :( Cuba and DR from Pool 2 advance If Japan wins tonight US is eliminated. If Japan lose and US wins US advance Only if Japan wins and scores less than 8 runs. Of course, since they're tied at 0 after 7, I don't see them scoring too much.

ITCNS13 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I went to the Korea vs Japan game last night in Anaheim, Ca. and let me tell you that was the most amazing sporting "EVENT" I have ever witnessed, I am a caucasian american and was rooting for Korea along with about 36,000 of the 39,674 fans at Angel Stadium. It was literally amazing to see these true sports fans were rooting for their team, the passion those fans had was absolutely incredible. I have never witnessed that kinda loyalty to one team in any American sporting event, the closest I could say this matched would be a big college football game like Ohio St. / Michigan or college basketball like Duke / North Carolina.

BigJimSlade Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Considering all that has been said about steroids in baseball, some player having his hat off center is not that big of a deal. Considering that the basbeall uniform has to be set to specific standards, wearing the hat the correct way is a big deal. You play the game, you play it by the rules instituted or don't play.

You play the game, you play it by the rules instituted or don't play. Um aren't those MLB rules? Now granted I know MLB is running this thing but they're obviously not using the same rules as the regular season considering there could be ties in the first round (and maybe the second?) and the pitch count limits.

method Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Considering that the basbeall uniform has to be set to specific standards, wearing the hat the correct way is a big deal. You play the game, you play it by the rules instituted or don't play. a) (1) All players on a team shall wear uniforms identical in color, trim and style, and all players uniforms shall include minimal six inch numbers on their backs. (2) Any part of an undershirt exposed to view shall be of a uniform solid color for all players on a team. Any player other than the pitcher may have numbers, letters, insignia attached to the sleeve of the undershirt. (3) No player whose uniform does not conform to that of his teammates shall be permitted to participate in a game. (b) A league may provide that (1) each team shall wear a distinctive uniform at all times, or (2) that each team shall have two sets of uniforms, white for home games and a different color for road games. © (1) Sleeve lengths may vary for individual players, but the sleeves of each individual player shall be approximately the same length. (2) No player shall wear ragged, frayed or slit sleeves. (d) No player shall attach to his uniform tape or other material of a different color from his uniform. (e) No part of the uniform shall include a pattern that imitates or suggests the shape of a baseball. (f) Glass buttons and polished metal shall not be used on a uniform. (g) No player shall attach anything to the heel or toe of his shoe other than the ordinary shoe plate or toe plate. Shoes with pointed spikes similar to golf or track shoes shall not be worn. (h) No part of the uniform shall include patches or designs relating to commercial advertisements. (i) A league may provide that the uniforms of its member teams include the names of its players on their backs. Any name other than the last name of the player must be approved by the League President. If adopted, all uniforms for a team must have the names of its players. I see no provisions in the uniform regulations that say that a players hat should be center.

quigley0 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 yeah, the issue is that the Major League umpires wanted too much money, so the WBC is oficiated by amatures. No player whose uniform does not conform to that of his teammates shall be permitted to participate in a game. Also, I think that may describe the sideways hat. there are usually very vague things like that, used as a catch all. bottom line, dont be a jackass. Wear your hat correctly. You are representing your nation. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/442119-world-baseball-classic/page/2/#findComment-587317014 Share on other sites More sharing options...
