Team USA

SawyerDR19 · 05-04-2016, 04:35 PM

Welcome to USA baseball! The USA looks to dominate the global state in their own game, but with powers such as Japan, Dominican Republic, and emerging forces such as England, Italy, and Nigeria, it won be easy. Can they win the 2016 WBC? Will they even qualify? Will the USA even win the North America Series?

Note I am writing this on a separate computer because the one with OOTP has a dysfunctional Chrome. I wont be able to have game-pictures but I will try to integrate them as much as possible.

We start out in Miami, Florida as the WBC Qualifiers have begun. 32 nations are placed into groups of 4 making 8 groups. They each play each other 3 times, home, away, and neutral. A win counts as 3 points, an extra-inning loss counts as 1, and a loss is 0. Whoever win the group ith the most points goes to the WBC, the 2nd place teams in every group go on to another round of qualifying. Simple right?

The groups look like this...

Group A Group B Group C Group D Group E
USA D.R. Puerto R Cuba Canada
Belize El Salvador Trinidad A T Dominica Costa Rica
St. Kitts Haiti St. Maarten Grenada US Virgin IS
Barbados Antigua Bermuda Guatemala Turks and Caicos

Group F Group G *As the Bahamas will be hosting the
Mexico Panama WBC, they receive automatic entry.
Jamaica Costa Rica
Nicaragua Guadeloupe
British Virgin Martinique

Baseball Tonight - ¨So Tim, which of these teams do you think can be a dark horse in the qualifying?¨

Tim K - I am looking at 2 sides, the US Virgin Islands and Guatemala. USVL has 2 big leaguers in Callix Crabbe and Akeel Morris, and Guatemala has several players in the minor including many starters.

Baseball Tonight - ¨Hey Tim, with your expert opinion, what do you think of manager Ron Gardenhireś team selection? It looks like a young side does it not?"

Tim - I really like this American roster. Plenty of depth, youth, and experience all in one. The 4 starters may not all be superstars, but since it is November, it is hard to attract the top pitchers, but Sonny Gray looks like a good option and I love the inclusion of Captain America, David Wright.
