WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC 7 RP/Scores/Roster Thread
HOSTS OF WBC SEVEN!!!
(Link to Draw)
In a stunning vote of confidence, The WBC Council have voted and Green wombat will be the host of the Seventh World Baseball Classic. This marks the 4th time that the tourney, featuring the world's best baseball players, has come to the Q Continuum, but this will be the first time that it will be held outside of Qazox.
Bid Sponsor and Head of the Green wombat Baseball Alliance, Peter Jefferies has announced the following:
The preliminary stages will consist of 4 groups of 6 teams to a group, unless a 24th nation cannot be found to enter. . Either way, the preliminary rounds will be a single round robin format. The top two teams in each group will advance to the quarterfinals.
The quarterfinals will be a secondary group stage with 2 groups of 4 teams playing a single-round robin, with the top two teams from those groups advancing to the semifinals. All quarterfinals, semifinals and finals will be played in Green wombat at our new ballpark, Wombat Field located in Hellispont. There is no DH in Green wombat for the games played there.

Before I post my roster, may I ask where I put my stadium modifiers exactly? And what's the difference between someone injuring my players and god-modding injuries to them? Wouldn't it be god modding either way?

OOC: Not exactly. Firstly, there's a reason why most sports RPs allow you to specify your choices. Injuring an opponent's player could be, say, you RP that they got hurt running the bases. Godmodding injuries might see them sustaining a fractured skull from a bad pitch.

The Qazox Pheonix bring back the same 23 players that won the last WBC, in hopes of a repeat.
Manager: Adam Victorini
Starting Lineup
1) CF: Brian Pippen Bats: R; Throws: R- A classic lead off hitter. Won't hit many Homeruns, but will steal at least one or more bases a game. Doesn't draw many walks. Decent fielder, with excellent range, but a spotty arm.
2) 1B: Lonnie Redman Bats: L; Throws: L- Overall the best hitter on the team, but has one of the poorest gloves. Hits to all fields and has just enough speed to turn some singles into doubles. Gets subbed for in late innings for defensive purposes.
3) C: David Liber Bats R; Throws: R- Classic power hitter, strikesout frequently, however. Adequate arm, throws out about 25% of steal attampts. Crushes lefties.
4) RF: Carver Thompson Bats: S; Throws: R Very dangerous hitter, hits both righties and lefties with equal regularity. Not a deep-ball threat, but if there are runners on base, they score. Powerful arm, but erratic accuracy.
5) 3B: David Riggs Bats: L; Throws: R Excellent defensive player, makes very few errors. Streaky at the plate, but when hot, can hit it anywhere. Has decent power.
6) 2B: Pascual Benjamin Bats: S; Throws: L Best glove on the team, and has decent pop in the bat. But has knee problems and is inconsistent at the plate.
7) SS: Vance Taresi Bats: L; Throws: L Overall a decent player, but not great at any one aspect of play. Gets hit by pitches a lot, due to unusual stance at the plate.
8) LF: Lucas Morgan Bats: R; Throws: R Should bat higher in the order, but has tenendcy to strike out alot. Has excellent speed and a cannon for an arm, don't try to score from 2nd on him.
9) Pitcher.
BENCH:
C: Frank Carre Bats: L, throws L A rarity, a southpaw catcher. Calls a good game but is weak at the plate.
1B: Oliver Yardley Bats: L, throws R Decent all-around player, but is very inconsistent at the plate.
2B/SS: Thomas Daevis Bats: S, throws L On any other team, he would be a starter, but provides a late inning defensive upgrade at short.
OF: Jason Washington Bats: R, throws R Fastest player on team, best pinch-runner, but has horrid arm and is lackadaisical in the field.
OF: Joseph Mason Bats: L, throws R Excellent late inning pinch-hitter, but is worst fielder on the team.
INF: Kyle Tersely Bats: R, throws R Can play anywhere in the infield, but has tendendcy to strike out alot.
DH: Gregory Felde Bats: R; Throws: R Just like Redman, has a great bat, but poor glove. Not much power, but has a great batting eye and will walk frequently. (bats 7th in games used)
PITCHERS:
STARTING ROTATION:
Samuel Ridge: (Throws: L) Has great 3 pitches, a 97-mph fastball, a 12-6 Slider and a nasty Circle Change. Does throw a split-finger fastball, but it tends to get hit hard.
Brian Meggars: (Throws: R) Has 2 good pitches and 2 decent ones. A 95-mph splitter, and a 10-4 curve that falls away from righties. The other pitches are a 93-mph fastball that tends to rise and a Knuckle-Curve that does neither.
Stan Forde: (Throws: R) Has a great Changeup and a decent 95-mph fastball, but not much else. Throws a lazy curve that often gets hit far.
Micheal Nieves: (Throws: L) Has a Knuckleball that is almost impossible to hit, unless it does. Also throws a 89-mph fastball and a Circle Change that does tend to drift in on lefties.
BULLPEN:
LHP: James Thurston: Workhorse in pen. Throws 3 pitches (fastball, curve and sinker) well, but does walk a few here and there.
LHP: Fred Davis: Has a great slider and not much else. Tends to fall behind a lot int he count. Usually used in a mop-up role.
RHP: Hector Ortega: Good slurve and 12-6 slider, but leaves too many pitches over the plate. Can get rattled a bit.
RHP: Brandon Ericsen: If not for Pitts, he'd be the closer. Throws a mean 10-4 curve and a 94 mph fastball, but it tends to rise a bit too much.
Closer: Tyrone Pitts (Throws: R) Has a fastball that has been clocked at 101 mph. Also has a 94-mph slider that breaks away from lefties. Can throw a Forkball, but only if there are runners on and he needs a ground ball out.

Unlike other teams which are formed by the best players within their nation, Secristan awarded roster spots to the highest bidder for the position. Due to that, they are not necessarily the best players in the country, they just happen to be the richest. That said, these aren’t a bunch of bums off the street. In order for their bid to be valid, they had to be between 18 and 38 and pass a general fitness test. The same held true for the manager, again the highest bidder won.

3) Jake Murphy- SS (30, L/S) Trait- Balanced Hitter, some pop in bat.
4) Scott Bressler- 2B (29, R/R) Trait- Contact hitter. Not a prototypical #4. He just bid the most to start here.
5) Aaron Hutchinson- 3B (32, R/S) Trait- Power hitter. Also strikes out a ton.
6) Neil Rossom- C (29, L/S) Trait- Balanced hitter. Respectable power.
7) Adam Sutton- LF (29, L/S) Trait- Speedster
8) Mark Finch- RF (27, R/R) Trait- Mediocre player. Again, he’s here because of his bid.
9) Pitcher When DH- Rick Cusano (OF) (25, R/S)Trait- Steady but unspectacular in all areas.
Riding the pine:
1) Michael Coletti- INF (27, R/S) Trait- Contact hitter. #1 preferred pinch hitter.

Stadium Info: Secristan will play in an outdated 36,000 seat stadium. It’s not the greatest stadium in the nation, but they bid the highest.
In Newmanistan’s first World Baseball Classic, Empress Jessica is proud to announce that the roster will be made up entirely of women, and it will start an annual tradition of Newmanistan rosters for this event. Baseball is the #1 sport of choice among women in Newmanistan. That’s right, baseball. Not that softball crap.
Choose my runscorers: Yes
Choose my lineup: No, as my lineup is posted here. Follow that!
Follow my Pitching Rotation: My starting pitcher for the next game will always be announced in my RP from the previous game.
Godmod scoring events: Yes
RP injuries to my players: Yes, but only to the extent of saying so and so was injured. I’ll determine the severity
Godmod injuries to my players: No
Eject my players: Yes, as long as you are fair with it and don’t get carried way.
Godmod other events: No, except for weather. That you can.
DH in home park: No
Additional Information that is very important to me: Newmanistan does not prescribe to the modern day concept of pitch counts determining how long a starting pitcher is kept in for. In fact, pitch counts are not even kept track of outside of curiosity sake. Such count is not displayed on the scoreboard, so if you want to track it for your pitcher, you must do it manually. If Newmanistan has given up 3 runs or less, then the starting pitcher has gone all nine innings. No ifs, ands, or buts. This is true even if it would have been a save situation.
– Another Newmanistan trait is aggressive base stealing. Think back to the days of Vince Coleman and Ricky Henderson in their primes.

Head Coach- Christina Sanders
Hitting Coach- Allyson Payne
Pitching Coach- Carrie Lynsder
Rotation: (pitchers bat with the same hand the pitch with)
1) Tara Stewart (LHP)- A 28 year old veteran, with a career 1.92 ERA. She is coming off her best season, in which she went 22-5 with a 1.69 ERA for the South Tier Seagulls. Her best pitch is her curve, though she mixes in an effective slider, and a fastball that you must respect.
2) Kristen Haynes (RHP)- Due to her petite stature, Kristen does not look like she would be an overpowering pitcher. On the contrary. The 23 year old won the league’s Curtis Award (equivalent of the Cy Young) in just her second season. Kristen’s fastball is in the low 90's, but its her ability to mix up speeds that makes her real effective. That, and her devastating splitter. She has a career 1.98 ERA.
3) Courtney Lombardi (RHP)- Just 21, Courtney came out of no where in her rookie season, after being a mere 18th round draft pick by the Pocono City Capitals. She, and her 98 MPH fastball have proven the critics wrong. She mixes in an assortment of breaking pitches, including a fantastic slider.
4) Stacey Keisler (LHP)- A 24 year old veteran, Keisler’s is a lot like Lombardi in the way that she gets batters out. However, she generally racks up more K’s then does Courtney. She can be a bit prone to giving up the long ball, which has led coach to put her 4th as opposed to 3rd. Pictures of Keisler are commonly found on the walls of men of all ages.
5) Jennifer Caudron (RHP)- Caudron, 23, is an aggressive pitcher who relies on the accuracy of her fastball to get batters out. She mixes it up with a curveball and a wicked cutter that will throw batters off.
Bullpen:
Lauren Tippett (LHP)- The 22 year old will generally be used in situations where the Rockets need to pull one of their starters early, and then Tippett will go several innings. She is mainly a sinker/slider type pitcher.
Shannon Talcott (RHP)- Another youngster, at just 21, Talcott will be a versatile member of the bullpen, and be called upon in varying situations. She is also a sinker/slider type pitcher.
Jessica Vauclair (RHP) - The 27 year old features everyone’s favorite pitch, the knuckleball. She will mainly be used after Keisler and Lombardi, to make batters have to adjust to a knuckler after facing the heat all game.
Set up/Short Relief: Sara Chamberlain- Sara is all about the fastball. The 33 year old veteran relies on it entirely, though she mixes up speeds well.
Closer: Ashley Colfer- With a respectable fastball and a nasty cutter, all while mixing in a splitter, Colfer’s ability to mix things up make the 32 year old a fantastic closer.
Batting Order: (throws/bats)
1) Brittany Wright- CF (R/R)- Wright is everything you want in a leadoff hitter. The 24 year old has outstanding speed, and draws a ton of walks. Sadly for pitchers, it is often a 3-base walk. Wright will steal 3rd as aggressively as she steals 2nd. She has a 93% success rate, and a career .292 BA.
2) Michelle Rancourt- LF (R/S)- What could be better then having a leadoff hitter like Wright? Having another player just like her batting second. This 1-2 combination will cause fits to opponents not used to aggressive base-running, or pitchers that struggle to hold runners on. At 24, she has a 88% success rate, and a career .273 BA.
3) Carrie Nicolette- 2B (R/S)- Behind the speedsters is one of the Empire’s all time best contact hitters, although its not fair to label her quite as that, as she averages 15-20 HR’s a year. The 25 year old has a career .340 BA.
4) Rachel Crockett- RF (R/S)- Crockett’s power must be respected. She consistently averages 40-50 HR’s per season, but unlike a lot of power hitters, she also hits for a great BA (career .320 hitter), and rarely strikes out. At times, Rachel will do a little showboating after a homerun, but its one of the reason the fans love the 26 year old slugger.
5) Sarah Boland- 3B (L/S)- Boland has the same HR capability as does Crockett, she’s just slightly less of an all-around player, with a .311 career BA. Also like Crockett, the 29 year old is a complete show off, but at the same time is a terrific clubhouse leader, as evidenced by the fact that she was named team captain.
6) Natalie Monroe- 1B (R/R)- Monroe is a balanced hitter, with a career .314 BA and a modest 20 HR’s or so per year, though she is still pretty young, at just 21 years of age. Monroe is also a threat to steal bases. She’s one to watch, and will make you pay if you want to pitch around Boland and Crockett.
7) Nicole Flick- C (L/L)- When describing the 33 year old catcher, you first have to start with her behind the plate ability, as she does a fantastic job calling a game and working with her pitchers. She also does a good job containing the running game, which in Newmanistan is a major component. Flick has some power, but is more of a contact hitter. She has a .276 career BA, but is coming off a career year where she hit .328.
8) Tara Cuyler- SS (R/S)- There is no let up in the 8 spot, in fact, it is because Sanders wants to make sure the bottom of the order is not a walk through, that Cuyler hits here and not 6th. Tara is a career .334 hitter, and can hit the ball over the fence with regularity. She is 27.
9) Pitcher (w/o DH)
9) (w/ DH) Caitlin Peters (INF by trade) (R/S)- Caitlin is a speedster. Opposing pitchers will hate it when 9-1-2 will hit in an inning of a game that uses the DH. She isn’t quite as fast as Wright and Rancourt, so she doesn’t run quite as much, but she’ll take her shot. She’s also a pure contact hitter, with a .333 career BA. Very little power. Her career high for HR’s in a season is three.

It's one final time. The greatest Milchama Warrior baseball team ever, that won one World Championship and got to the finals or semis the other time is going to go bye bye after this WBC. While there were minimal changes to the roster this time the absolute replacement of everybody next time is going to be a lot more damaging. As Manager Kelly Hegeboom said, "It sucks that people get older but that's the way it is"

Starters:
15 Ferris Banner- Hard throwing pitcher with a good curveball and a plus slider. Known particularly for how good he is at changing speeds.
12 Greg Claymont- Doesn't have an overpowering fastball but has a wicked 12-6 curveball and a great assortment of random pitches that we don't even know the names of to get hitters out. Also very good at out thinking hitters.
6 Henry Remteyn- The most imposing looking pitcher of the starters actually has the worst pure stuff. He is always approximately 10 steps ahead of hitters and gets them out through pure thinking ability.
00 Jonah David- The most Jewish name on the team complete with the most eccentric personality in the game. However, as a pitcher his 95+ MPH fastball complete with devastating changeup that can go anywhere from 88 to 70 make him a force to reckoned with. To hear more about his personality either go to our website or wait for one of his starts as we will give you a story a day.
Bullpen:
19 Thomos Alem- Submariner gets people because they really just can't see the pitch until it's right at them. Nobody is quite sure what he throws.
1 Edgar Allen- A poet and a man with a great sense of touch on his curveball. He really only has two pitches but his curveball breaks in 5 different ways so it doesn't matter.
3 Stephenie Wyatt- Screwballer.
25 Ben Hernandez- Wild hair and wild pitches are this guys calling. Nobody is quite sure what he throws but it's always hard and it sometimes is over the plate. He gets people out.
13 Donovan O'Flay - In the Trefor Hofmann mode of pitching. Great closer for the Swooton Fireballs.
Starting Lineup:
23 Eric Sidelman CF- Fast, good contact hitter. Typical Milchamian leadoff man.
8 Kelton Holland LF Fast, not as good of a contact hitter but a great power hitter.
16 Emily O'Neil 1B- Consensus best hitter Milchama has ever produced. Hits for average and power. Won 2 straight triple crows in the MBL along with leading the league every year in OPS and OPS+ since her second year in the league.
2 Damien Hermes C- Very good hitting catcher. Hits homers with surprising ease. Not particularly fast but is also very sound fundamentally.
18 AJ Hunter RF - A lot like Felix Sorano, a 5 tool player and though he hasn't reached his potential quite yet he can mash. 2 straight 30-30 seasons got him on the team.
5 Tanner Holmes 3B - A fundamentally sound hitter. The perfect Milchamian hitter. Great average with a little power and a great fielder to boot. Solid in everything fundamentally.
14 Moralis Houston SS - Seems to swing at everything but also has this incredible tendency to hit everything. His .385 OBP put him in the squad.
7 Marius Remant 2B- Great gloveman. Not as much known for his hitting but actually hits in the .290 level which is pathetic for this squad. Not so much in general though.

Other notes:
-Both starters and bullpens go top down.
- Milchamian starters consider it a disgrace to be taken out before the 8th inning. Not to say it won't happen. It's just unlikely.
- If styles exist we're a zero.

Team Trends:
Half of the starting lineup can decently steal-and the big guys do it when you don't expect it.
Roster
Manager: Quentin Morris
Hitting Coach: Carver Gartwert
Pitching Coach: Patrick Wach
The contrast of left and right-handed batters makes starting a lefty or righty based on how batters' hit pretty irrelevant.
Batting Lineup:
1 Luke Goldwright RF (L/L) Speedy can lay down a bunt. Good glove, OK bat. Great at just getting on base however he can!
2 Matthew Enots LF (R/R) Good speed, good bat, good glove.
3 Connor da Vincho CF (R/S) Speedy, Power, Contact, Glove. All you want! Superstar material.
4 Benjamin Korker C (L/L) Typical catcher mold. Great power, good at throwing stealers out, but slow.
5 Derek Reiew 1B (R/R) Great glove, OK speed, good power. The basic package at first-and 5th in the batting order.
6 Cole Sasnak SS (L/L) Can make the deep throw from shallow right to first. The question is power-can he do it? Speed-OK
7 Ahmed Nogere 2B (R/R) Great double-play combination wtih Sasnak and Reiew-otherwise OK defense. Can bat fair.
8 *Pitcher Slot*
9 Larry Vance 3B (R/R) Can barely bat to save his life, as an incident happened years ago when he had to do so. Good D.
DH: Gary Wilson (L/L) Good power, bad defense. Only made the team for the DH spot(Bats 6th if using, bump 6th & 7th down).
Reserves (Throws/Bats):
INF Ryan Truesdell (R/R) All-around good player-and by far best sport on team.
INF Daniel Brumwell (L/L) Fine bat, spotty field.
Utility Zach Esahc (L/L) Plays catcher best, great fielder but will not pinch-hit.
OF Garret Crisp (R/R) Can catch like the best, run like the best, bat like the worst. Barely averages better than the Mendoza Line.
OF Terrell Pispy (L/L) Great bat, fine running, bad defense.
Pitching Rotation(Throws/Bats):
1 Warren Azodnem (L/L) 3 great pitches-fastball, change-up, slider-plus decent control of a knuckleball and a curveball.
2 David Faber (R/R) Knuckleball pitcher, fair fastball and change-up to back it up. Korker sometimes has trouble catching him.
3 Grant Baig (L/L) Mainly depends on curve and slider, also has fastball and change-up in his repertoire.
4 Fred Slater (R/R) When he has a cool head, Slater hits 103mph on his fastball. When he doesn't... don't start your best guys!
5 Brian Shields (R/R) Fastball pitcher, has OK control of change-up and slider.
Bullpen (Throws/Bats):
Closer: Francisco Halperin (R/R) Just gets them out any way he can. 2-seam fastball, change, slider
Set-Up (8th): Rico Montana (L/L) Mr. Dependable. Gets out of jams easily. Main pitch: knuckleball. Also has slider, fastball.
Set-Up (7th): Antonio Earl (L/L) Doesn't have much stamina, can maybe last for two innings. Fastball, circle change, sinker.
Short Relief: Troy Poiuyt (R/R) Led KBL in the new statistic of "holds". Fastball, change, curve.
Middle Relief: Danny Batista (L/L) Needs to work on his speed, lots of soft stuff. Slow fastball, change, sinker, weak knuckler.
Long Relief: Anthony Rodriguez (R/R) A OK starter in the KBL. Due to large stock of great starters, he will be in the bullpen.
Rob:
"Welcome to WBC Today, I'm your host, Rob Costas, and the group draw for the 7th WBC in our neighbors, Green wombat will take place in a couple of days. Joining me for commentary are former WBC stars, Brian Teague and Adam Kingsley. Adam, this team won 2 years ago in Liventia, can they repeat in the neighbor's yard?"
Adam:
"They have a great chance. The entire team is back, and they still are relatively young, with the oldest player Micheal Nieves aged 26, and the youngest still in his teens, Vance Taresi who's 19. The key is the pitching, as usual. This team historically has been amongst the best pitching teams in the WBC, but until the last couple the offense, has been inconsistent. But this lineup has no easy outs and now with experience, they are even tougher outs."
Brian:
"Adam, if this team DOESN'T win the title, I'll be shocked. The two key players for this team are Brian Pippen and Samuel Ridge. Pippen, if he's on base, it usually means a run is coming home to score and if Ridge is on, he is nearly unhittable. The person who interests me most is David Riggs. If he can get hot and stay hot, Qazox is not going to lose any games, the guy is an RBI machine."
Rob:
"Which teams besides Qazox have the best chance to win the WBC?"
Brian:
"Taeshan, Zwangzug and Milchama. Other than these three, Prux, Liventia and Green wombat seem to have the best chance to crack the Final Four."
Adam:
"I agree. But Mallatarsland, The Indonesian States and Yafor 2 are veteran teams and if the groups break right, they could sneak in as well."
Rob:
"Well we'll be back in a couple of days to break down the groups and give our predictions, until then, see you later."
A quick shcedule change. I'll have the group draw TOMMORROW, but the scorination won't begin until sunday night. Therefore giving ya'll an extra day to RP about the draw.

If you only knew how much I love this announcement. Seriously! :D
So, Billybobjoejack, what are your thoughts as we await the draw?
Well boyo, I'm thinking we must do better this time and not peak too early. Try to keep the girls away from the beer too. Should be easier to do this time as our sponsors are not Vodka or Beer producers.
Who are the sponsors this time? Remind the viewers.
Busquashes Pirate Navy Rum.
Do you not think that may be worse?
Nah, Girls don't like Rum. Besides, this year we haveset a 2am curfew on Match Days.
And our chances are?
Possibly quarter finals if we can play to our strengths.
And our strengths are?
Flashing a nice smile while wearing low cut tops.
Doh!
The Indonesian States National Baseball Federation
National Stadium
Merdeka Field
Cap. 55,000
The Indonesian States National Baseball Federation is barely past its first year, but it is continuing to grow and gain popularity. There are no Club Teams, so these players are trying to find a good club in other nations. These men, nicknames the Tigers, are very fast, both in base running and pitching. However, they are not too strong. Not many men make homeruns, but many steal bases regularly, as if it was a second nature. The few players with good strength are the Dutch players.
National Team Rosters
PITCHERS
• RHP Jonathan Huber – Possibly the best pitcher in the Indonesian States. His best pitch is his Curveball.
• LHP Abdul bin Youssef – The only Left Handed Pitcher in the national team, that is why he is so important.
• RHP Bambang Primawajaya – An average pitcher, he has a pretty fast fastball (95 mph). He is the youngest player in the team, only 15 years old.
• RHP Rocky Bampiyay – This man has a foot unjury, but what will that do to stop him from pitching? His Sliders are excellent.
• RHP Tangan Panas – He is very special due to his ability to use special pitches such as the knuckleball and sinker. Unfortunatly, he has a low stamina
INFIELD
• 1st BASE Ridwan Dirham – This man has the second-highest stealing average in training matches; however, his hitting is not so impressive.
• 2nd BASE Manny Manchope – This guy is the most average on the team, regular speed, regular power.
• 3rd BASE Alice Garujali – She is one of two female players on the team. Famous for standing up against the former team’s manager, who had a reputation for discrimination.
• SHORTSTOP Trent Vingt – Arguably the best player in the whole team. He is both great in hitting power (getting the most home runs) and speed (a famous incident happened when he hit the ball at the pitcher; when the pitcher was ready to throw at first base, Vingt was already half-way towards second base. He got out, but it proved how fast he was)
• CATCHER Cheng He Li – This man is the oldest in the whole team, at 47 years. He easily gets mad, and likes to start fights. He is an average hitter, but has a strong arm when throwing.
OUTFIELD
• LEFT FIELD Mi Jung Li – She is the other woman in the team, and is the daughter of Cheng He Li. She can throw the ball very far, but is an average hitter, just like her father. A difference between them is that Mi is very fast.
• CENTER FIELD Raden Agus Supirman – This man is great at catching fly balls, which should be easy for an outfielder. He can also catch a ball in the (sandy area by the wall? Whatever that is)
• RIGHT FIELD Indra Sukarnoputro – He is new to the team, so not that much information is known.
