I know that International baseball isn't as popular as it should be, but for those interested the new international tournament, the Premier 12, which puts together the 12 first ranked national teams in the world, starts today. Some countries got the tournament on tv, but for those who don't (like me) all the games are being streamed on YouTube on the WBSC channel for free with english commentary: www.youtube.com/user/WBSCoRight now, on the first game, Japan is beating Korea 2-0, bottom of the 3rd. The big Japanese prospect Shohei Otani is pitching. |

And today Porto Rico beat Italy 7-1 while Canada pulled a surprise (in my view) win against Cuba, 5-1!

I think it would be a good idea to rename this thread "International Baseball" so we can discuss that here (especially with the WBC happening early next year).
As a warm-up, there's the Women's Baseball World Cup going on right now (aka: Japan is cleaning house and taking names) which you can watch on youtube and the European Baseball Championships also began today to find out who's the third best European nation, after Italy and the Netherlands find out who gets to be on first this time.

And Japan just won the Women's World Cup by trampling all over the opposition. They allowed 4 runs in 9 games, scored 81 runs and had 5 of their 9 games end in mercy rule. They beat Canada for the World title.
Venezuela beat Chinese Taipei in a crazy last inning to secure the 3rd place.
If anyone wonders where the US were in all of these, they were first in the consolation group, which makes them the 7th best team out 14 in the competition.
