Poor performances in the IBC and the World Bowl have left a bitter taste in the mouths of the Tocrowkian People. And so the return of the world-championship of the sport that the nation has seen the most success with is more than welcomed. After seizing a 3rd place finish in WBC 9, and climbing the world rankings to 4th place, a deep play-off run is expected of the Nordics this time around.
Manager: Paul Rudolf
[ The manager of the Nordics baseball team for the past three WBCs, Rudolf's squad has managed to make the second round in two of those. He is often regarded as an "old school" type of manager, as he relies on the speed of his players to play "small ball", stealing bases and taking risks on the base paths. He is also known to keep his starting pitching on a tight leash, frequently pulling them if they give up anymore than three runs in less than five innings. ]
Batting Order:
3B - Kitten Dyfuse (R/R)
[ The 21 Year-old Kitten has a great set of wheels, among the leaders in her league in extra base hits, infield singles (despite being a righty) and stolen bases last year. Usually not a power hitter, but she has been known to go deep once in about every ten to fifteen at bats.
LF - Willhelm Dynrus (L/L)
[ Another Speed demon, and an expert at threading the needle with on the line base hits, bloopers and in field singles. Not a longball player, but he draws a lot of walks to make up for it.
SS - Jill Haviland (R/R)
[ A rarity among infielders, Jill Haviland has an excellent power stroke. She is known for her majestic, 425+ ft homeruns that come easily to her, giving her the tongue-in-cheek nickname "Princess of Pounders" Everything works for her, and her swing is regarded as one of the most beautiful in Tocrowkian baseball. She is much more than just a slugger though, and can pretty much get every type of hit from line drivers to tape measure jacks. She can also protect her strike zone fairly well. On top of that, she is a media darling with a great personality, thus making her the easiest choice for team captain. ]
CF - Dmitri Rykov (R/R)
[ Baring the nickname "Mr. Clutch", Dmitri Rykov is a man that thrives on clutch situations when a hit means a run. He lead the league in walk-off hits last year and looks to repeat this year. And as expected for the fourth hitter in your lineup, he posses significant power in his bat and he can protect the zone. ]
1B - Johnny Stryker (L/L)
[ An amazing young player, and one of Tocrowkia's, if not the worlds at this point, most prolific five-tool players. He can hit for average. He can hit for power. His speed is positively explosive on the base paths, and he's a defensive wizard to cap it all off. After his performance in WBC 9, which included his four-AB-Four HR game against Taeshan, he is often called the "spark" in the lineup for his charismatic personality with his team mates and his intimidating aura to his opponents. ]
C - Hoyt Klaus (R/R)
[ Hoyt is a veteran, hard-nosed player. Despite being more of a line-drive hitter at this point in his career, Hoyt still has pop in his bat. He likes breaking balls and his highly regarded for his ability to hit them ]
2B - Domino Mazdrick (R/S)
[ Mazdrick's position in the order should not reflect poorly on her. She is perhaps the best "pure hitter" on the team. Though she does posses power, that just isn't her game. She prefers hitting frozen ropes, line drives, bloopers and one hoppers and terrorizing the opposition that way. She is the most protective of her strike zone out of anyone on the team, and draws a lot of walks and runs up the pitch count that way. ]
RF - Alec Travylin (L/L)
[ Like the middle of the order, a power hitter. But a free swinger and he strikes out a bunch, an all or nothing type of hitter. So he's 8th for that reason. ]
Designates team captain
Pitchers:
SP - Tommy Thunder (Righty)
[ Classic power pitcher, with a 93-98 MPH fastball, 12-6 Curve, cut fastball and circle change making up his arsenal. Attacks the strike zone, especially the corners, with his fastball and uses his other pitches for outs. And having player 3rd base during high school and half of his college career, he is no slouch at the plate, either, and can hit balls and hit them deep. ]
SP - Jeanna Glaus (Lefty)
[ A sink baller by nature, Jeanna also has a 92-96 MPH fastball, curve ball and a slider to make use of. Of course her sinker is her main pitch however, which results in a lot of ground outs. ]
SP - Matthew Shaporio (Righty)
[ A pitcher with excellent control of four pitches: A 92-97 MPH fastball, an odd screwball, a deceptive splitter and a great change up. Has an odd wind-up and delivery style, which of course deceives hitters.]
SP - Mercedes Gaunt (Lefty)
[ Finesse pitcher who relies on breaking pitches and off-speed pitches to win games. Throws quality strikes, and has a low walk percentage to show for it. However, her fastball, which tops out at a maximum of 92 MPH is sort of easy to hit, but due to all the off-speed stuff she mix's in, it makes up for it. ]
MR - Jaycen Hester (Righty)
[ A former starter turned reliever late in his career. Has a four-seem fastball, a curve and a change-up. Though he used to be a fire-baller, he now relies on throwing quality strikes rather than over-powering the hitter. Good for up to two innings of effective relief. ]
MR - Gerald Fischer (Lefty)
[ A one inning, maybe less guy. A junk-baller by nature, he has a curve, slider, splitter and a sinker to use. Utilized mostly in blow-outs when giving up a run to the opposing team isn't such a big deal. ]
MR - Kimberly Soylnt (Righty)
[ A smart pitcher that uses a two-seam fastball, a slurve, a circle change and a fork ball. Though she usually ends up working the count full and throwing a bunch of pitches, she's good for up to two innings of relief. ]
MR - Hans Koller
[ Hans really only has control of three pitches. A sinker, a two-seam fastball and a curve. His sinker is really good though, so he's often used in jams with the game on the line, like a bases loaded no outs type of situation. ]
LHP - Darrel Klitz (Lefty)
[ Used against tough lefties, obviously. Has a cut-fastball, a slider and a change up. Prefers to work lefties inside at first, and surprise them with a fastball outside for the out. ]
LHP - Anna Tavker (Lefty)
[ Again, used against tough lefties. Another junk-baller too in that she relies on a 12-6 curve, a normal curve, a slider and a palmball in order to get her target out. ]
SU - Amber Taven (Righty)
[ Amber Tavern, an impressive young woman that performs well under pressure, has an arsenal of pitches to work with. A 95 MPH Fastball, a two-seam Fastball which has good movement and has a good late break, and is extremely effective against lefties. An excellent slider, which she often uses for outs against righties, an effective curve which breaks down and away, and finally a great change up. Amber is extremely emotional, and some would say cocky, and often performs elongated celebrations after retiring the side. ((OOC: Seriously. Imagine her doing something like Jonathan Papelbon and K-Rod after every out she records.)) ]
CL - Jamie Von Tipker (Righty)
[ A classic closer. Unlike her set-up counter-part, Jamie is a calm and modest player, but she is extremely effective. She has command of a cut-fastball, which she throws with great effectiveness and oddly enough causes alot of broken bats. She also has a good 12-6 Curve, circle change and finally a sinker. ]
Bench:
Eva Bethge (Utility Infielder) (R/R)
[ Can play either corner-infield position, Eva is a strong defensive player used mostly in double-switcher scenarios. She can make good contact on pitchers too, but has little power. ]
Stefan Küchler (Utility Infielder) (R/R)
[ Can play either middle-infield position, Stefan is utilized as pinch hitter more often than not due to his ability to work the count in his favor. Though he has little power like Eva, he can also hit for average. He also has good speed, and is often utilized as a pinch-runner as a result. ]
Michel Keitel (Utility Infielder) (R/R)
[ A young catcher, used more often than not to give Hoyt Klaus a break for a game or two. He can call a good came, but has iffy skill when it comes to throwing runners out. Can hit for power, but not for average and is vulnerable to striking out. ]
Heinz Görtz (Utility Outfielder) (L/L)
[ Can play either right or left field. He's a solid defensive player, but he can really struggle at the plate at times. When he does make contact however, he can hit the ball a long way. ]
Carmen Rein (Utility Outfielder) (L/L)
[ A young center fielder, Carmen is known for her athletic and impressive plays in the outfield and her cannon of an arm, having two gold-glove awards in her short career. Not a lot of power, but is pretty fast, making her a good pinch runner too. ]

Bidding has officially come to a close for the right to represent Secristan in World Baseball Classic 10 from Qazox. Unlike other teams that are formed by the best players within their nation, Secristan awards 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 strenuous fitness test, and have a minimum of one year professional baseball experience.
As you have to pay a team in order to play professionally, anyone in this lineup would love to receive international offers to actually get compensated.
RP Permissions: Do whatever you want, short of deaths & serious injuries, and please stick to my batting order and pitching rotation. If you are going to RP something unusual involving us, please keep in mind that due to our players being young and filthy rich, they tend to be very arrogant and stuck up.
Head Coach: John Michaelson (55), coached in WBC8. Was outbid for the last one.
Rotation: (Age/Throws/Bats)
Steve Jamison (28, L/L)- Hard throwing southpaw. If this spot were given out on merit, he would still be the ace. Steve is also the only player to been on all three Classic teams.
Eric Strassner (31, L/L)- Also a fastball pitcher, but not as much velocity as Jamison. He played in WBC7 but has not been back. Eric has plenty of talent, he is just awfully inconsistent.
Alan Coldwell (23, R/R)- Relies on a curveball/slider combination. Generally can’t go more then 6 innings. WBC debut.
Jim Slattery (27, R/R)- Mixing up speeds is his strength. He has great offspeed stuff, but also a 94 MPH heater. Appeared in WBC9.
Paul Newkirk (26, L/L)- Nothing really stands out about him. Fastball/curveball type pitcher. Has a career 5.37 ERA, but he had enough money to successfully bid for this spot. Don’t be surprised to see Michaelson pull him very early.
Bullpen: (Age/Throws/Bats)
Francisco Martinez (27, L/L)- THE CLOSER. Martinez also was the closer in WBC9. Generally only goes one inning, but is capable of going two. He can hit 102 MPH, and mixes in a nasty circle change.
Michael McKeon (30, R/R)- SET UP MAN. McKeon last appeared in WBC8, where he was the closer. This time, instead of trying to outbid Martinez, he went for this role. Wise choice. He is a closer by trade, fastball specialist, just in an 8th inning role.
Chad Jarvis (27, R/R) Short reliever. Probably a 7th inning guy when used. He has a pretty wicked cutter. Last appeared in WBC8.
Nicholas Gillette (20, R/R) Situtational shortman. Makes WBC debut.
Dominick Peluso (25, L/L)- Versatile, will be used in any situation. Also a debutant.
David Tocci (34, R/R)- Investment banker who just barely passed the fitness test. Likely a last resort, has a good 78 MPH changeup (though he calls it a fastball)
Robert Curley (28, R/R)- Long reliever. Best pitch is his curve. WBC debutant.
Starting Lineup (using DH) (Age, Throws/Bats)
1) Larry Pritchett- CF (32, R/S) Speedster, prototypical leadoff batter. Led off in WBC 8.
2) Jason Carlin- LF (26, L/L) Speedster, prototypical leadoff batter that happens to bat second because Pritchett outbid him. Led off in WBC 9.
3) Tim McMurtry- 3B (31, R/S)- Bat here in WBC9, good power but more of a doubles hitter.
4) Manny “ManRod” Rodriguez- RF (29, L/S)- Explosive power hitter. Would you expect anything less from someone named this? Sometimes tempermental.
5) John Fusco- 1B (27, R/S)- In his 3rd WBC, John has great power himself and his presence means you can’t just pitch around “ManRod” all day.
6) Eddie Forte- SS (22, R/R)- Debutant, doubles-type hitter, has tremendous discipline. Gold-glove caliber fielder.
7) Mick O’Rourke- 2B (23, R/S)- Debutant, hits for average. Defensive wizard.
8) Eric Beaudoin- DH (33, L/S)- Has great power. Also strikes out a ton, so he is not in higher lineup spot.
9) John Mullins- C (36, R/R)- Debutant. Excellent at calling a game and throwing at runners. With the bat? Well, he bats ninth for a reason.
Bench
Kip Kircher- C (28, L/L)- Much better hitter then Mullins. Much worse behind the plate. Debutant.
Mike Bradley- 2B/SS (30, R/R)- Started in WBC8. Solid overall player. Does everything decently but nothing extraordinarily.
Adam Sperbeck- 1B/3B (29, L/S)- Started in WBC9. The most home run ability of any of the bench guys.
William Sutliffe- OF (19, R/S)- Up-and-coming talent, may be a five-tool player in the long run.
As the San Castellian Baseball Season draws to a close, the people have even more to celebrate for as thier national team for the first time enters the World Baseball Classic. Expectations, however, are not too high as experienced teams such as Tocrowkia and Zwangzug are in the same group. Regardless, thosuands of San Castellian fans travel to Qazox to watch their team play, and millions more are cheering on the streets.
Home(No Away, Alternate switch blue with black)
Manager: Johnathan Huber(39) - A former star player of The Indonesian States national baseball team. The San Castellian Baseball Federation had asked him to coach and he heartily accepted.
Starting Line-up [Pos.-Name (Club)]
3B - Scicello Mazeri(Athenaneum): Very fast runner, hitting only average.
SS - Donatello Figuero(Romaliano): A vital part to the San Castellian squad, Figuero is both the fastest runner and a great hitter.
LF - Agustus Caesar Scimiti(Lugio): Extremly fast, as most of the San Castellian squad.
CF - Samuel Antoni(Romaliano): Led the San Castellian League with a record of 43 homeruns in the season.
2B - Guisppe Renaldi(Romaliano): An above-average hitter with great speed
RF - Vivaldi Di Gucci(Gesso-Verrucio): The average baseball player.
DH - Raouf Dali(Sendoria): An explosive hitter, unfortunatly he is extremly slow.
C - Dora(RobertiaVII): A below-average batter with very good speed. Unusual for a catcher.
1B - Napoleon Di Lugio(Lugio): Very untalented. Came on the baseball team only because he is very rich and is part of a ruling family in San Castello.
Pitchers
RHP - Johnathan Huber II(Kota Laut[TIS]): The son of the Manager with dual citizenship. Excellent power pitcher.
RHP - Lament Antoni(Romaliano): Brother to Samuel Antoni. He has a very good curveball.
LHP - Travian Octavius(Selai): A rare left-handed San Castellian. Because of strict manners in San Castello, very rarely do sputhpaws exist - a potential threat to the team.
RHP - Constantine Pontifex Maximus(RobertiaIX): Known for his sinkers, he is average besides that.
RHP - Daniel Tiberius Serenii(RobertiaIII): Rookie taken from the street a few months ago. He has an above-average fastball but mostly everything else is average or worse.
Bench
2B/SS - Maximillian Cardali(Pax Castellia)

ROSTER
Starting Rotation
12 John Morgan (RHP): Woodstock Mountaineers Led the Sarzonia League in victories with 15 and finished fourth in strikeouts with 106.
22 Charlie Palmer (LHP): Portland Fishermen Known for having the best changeup in all of Sarzonian baseball, he was named the first-ever Jim Palmer Award recipient for postseason MVP after leading the Fishermen to a Sarzonia Series crown.
27 Brian Edwards (RHP): Lexington Flight Despite the Flight's last place finish in the Incorporated League, Edwards was an 11 game winner (11-5, 2.67 ERA). He doesn't strike out many and relies on a sinking fastball to get ground ball outs.
34 Brad Baxter (RHP): Nicksia Nighthawks Baxter led the Sarzonian major leagues in wins (17), innings pitched (172) and strikeouts (156). He just pitched two days before the team assembled, so he was pushed back in the rotation.
40 Ken Sutcliffe (RHP): Portsmouth Pilots Sutcliffe is the veteran of the rotation, turning 41 at the end of the season. He's known for being a heady pitcher but he can still throw the ball past hitters when he has to.
Bullpen
32 Kenny Spencer (RHP): Saugerties Streakers Spencer is arguably the best setup man in the history of the sport in Sarzonia. He has only six saves in his career, but makes a living closing the door in the eighth inning.
29 Jay Ballard (LHP): Nicksia A specialist at getting lefthanded hitters out, Ballard made only one career start in secondary school. He threw a two-hit shutout in the state championship in that start.
33 Roger Tolliver (LHP): Avalon Aeros The lefthanded long reliever for the Aeros, he led the league with most innings pitched by a reliever (79) without making a start. His 38 appearances led the league among all relief pitchers.
17 Kerry Clark (RHP): Woodstock The leader among all of Sarzonian baseball with 29 saves, Clark has a devastating curveball and fastball. He's working on developing a change up.
39 Alvin Dryden (LHP): Rypien Rhinos Dryden is the lefty closer on the national team and will alternate with Clark depending on the opponent. Dryden led his league with 27 saves.
Position Players (starters in bold
C 10 Fred Carlton: Grovesmont Gryphons Carlton is the best defensive catcher in Sarzonian baseball. Calls a great game, threw out 44 percent of opposing baserunners. His problem: He hit .227 with only two home runs.
1B 44 Hank Everly: Woodstock Led the Sarzonian League in home runs with 37 and finished tied for second in runs batted in with 105. His batting average of .269 is lower than his coaches want.
2B 8 Dewey Griffin: Avalon The sparkplug for the Aeros, Griffin led both major leagues with 44 stolen bases and nine bunt hits. He was tied for second in the league in sacrifice hits (bunts or flies).
SS 2 Chris Spontanelli: Townshend Tigers: One of the many shortstops in the Cal Ripken mold, Spontanelli led his team with 17 homers and 81 RBI. At 6'5", he's the tallest starting shortstop in Sarzonia.
3B 9 Kate Schmidt: Bristol Bears: The only female to earn a starting spot on the national team, she hit .309 to lead her team and smacked 11 home runs.
LF 19 Tyrell Gordon: Portland Set a record for most outfield assists in college or high school baseball with 133. Had only two outfield assists this season when major league teams decided not to risk running on him.
CF 23 Drew Bradley: Avalon A speedster, Bradley is known for his graceful play in center and led his league in outfield assists with nine.
RF 24 Mark Dwight: Nicksia Not much with speed or a throwing arm, but Dwight specialises in being at the right place at the right time. He led the league with a .361 batting average.
Reserves
OF 36 Skip Hale Woodstock: Hale played in a career-high 44 games for Woodstock due to injuries to other outfielders. He's known as the best pinchhitter in the league and can serve as the starting DH if that position is available.
OF 7 Tyler Hunter Bristol: Can play either corner outfielder position, but his throwing arm is arguably the worst in the league.
C 13 Mario Salvidotti Avalon: Improving as a receiver, Salvidotti led his team with 21 home runs and 89 RBI.
IF 3 Russ Fraley Bristol Handled his demotion to reserve behind Schmidt with surprising grace and honed his skills as a shortstop so he could play short, third or first. He also is learning how to play second.
IF 5 Bryan Carroll Portland Extremely valuable asset to his team, he can play any position in the infield. Could serve as the emergency catcher if necessary.

Yes it is that time of year again. It is time to go back to your roots and watch the Knights take the field and win some more baseball games. Over the last seven World Baseball Classic's the Knights have won 56 games and lost only 31. They are one of the top 4 teams in the world and this has been shown in there six straight final four apperances. Once runners up, twice in 3rd place, and 3 times they have finished in 4th. Only once in WBC 3 did they not finish in the top four, but they were a differnet team then. Now its time to get more, it is time for the Knights to win it alll. Youi all fear us, and many even revear us but no longer will we not be champions. It is time to win.
Coach Jamie Stewart today announced that after this WBC Zoey Menigen will be retiring from the sport she loves to be replaced by her son 20 year old Adam Menigen who is expected to lead the team out of second base as has his mother for the past seven years. In her final apperance at the Classic Menigen and her team will be facing of against Milchama yet again, Mantwenic yet again, two new teams Cassadaigua, and Tree Hugging Lesbians as well as bitter rivals Liventia. Of course the event will be held yet again in Qazox where the Knights will look yet again to use the land near there own as a "home" field.
(-whatver is the most modifier, and of course purple home with blue trim and opposite away)
The Prux POWER have decided to use REAL PERSONS, not Robo-ducks, nor sentient cheese, nor candy bars nor abstract concepts, but REAL PEOPLE this time around.

Oy!
I have forgotten ONE Very important thing. The DH rule.
The DH is not used in Qazox, but for the Group stage, Odd numbered MatchDays will have the DH, while Even numbered Matchdays will NOT have the DH. Thereby equalizing the advantage/disadvantage for all teams.
In Newmanistan, baseball is a sport in which is dominated by women, thus we continue to send an all-female team to the WBC. The roster consists of mostly the same players who are eager to keep Newmanistan as one of the top baseball playing nations in the word. Why mess with a good thing? In three tries, Newmanistan has finished 2nd twice and 3rd once. There are only three WBC rookies on this roster. Not because I was lazy, but because there didn't need to be. ;)
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 on a basis of no more then one more then you eject from your own team.
Godmod other events: No, except for weather. That you can.
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 (Southport)
Hitting Coach- Allyson Payne (North Charlotte)
Pitching Coach- Carrie Lynsder (Hampton)
Rotation: (pitchers bat with the same hand the pitch with)
1) Tara Stewart (LHP- South Tier) A 32-year old veteran, with a career 1.83 ERA. Her best pitch is her curve, though she mixes in an effective slider, and a fastball that you must respect. Stewart has taken to hill in big games during all of the team’s WBC’s, and is still in her prime. Looking for redemption in WBC 10 after getting injured in the first inning of Game 1 of the finals series against Qazox. Doing it in Qazox would serve as a nice backdrop.
2) Stacey Keisler (LHP- Southport)- The 28-year old veteran has been the most successful starting pitcher, statistically for the Rockets in the three World Baseball Classics that the Empire has participated in. She is a power pitcher and comes right after the hitter, afraid to challenge no one. Keisler is also known for being the most attractive player on the team and has used her success to also be a marketers dream.
3) Courtney Lombardi (RHP- Pocono City)- Courtney came out of no where in her rookie season, after being a mere 18th round draft pick by the Pocono City Capitals and just continued to impress year after year. She, and her 98 MPH fastball have proven the critics wrong. The 25 year old mixes in an assortment of breaking pitches, including a fantastic slider. Courtney also pitched in the #3 spot last time. Courtney is also a pretty good hitter for a pitcher, with a career BA of .277.
4) Kristen Haynes (RHP- South Charlotte)- Due to her petite stature, Kristen does not look like she would be an overpowering pitcher. On the contrary. The 27 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.
5) Sarah Brayton (LHP- Putnam Lake)- At 23, Sarah is in her second World Baseball Classic. Brayton will come at you with a wide variety of pitches, but her wicked 12-6 curve seems to be her favorite. She also saw work out of the pen in WBC 9 when the Rockets went to a shortened rotation.
Bullpen: (Smaller then most because of the nation’s reliance on starters)
Lauren Tippett (LHP- North Charlotte)- The 26 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.
Christine Stafford (RHP- Southport)- Making her debut in WBC 10, she is the only rookie amongst the pitchers. She’s far from an actual rookie though, being a 29-year old veteran who has just missed the cut on the previous teams. A curveball specialist, she could be used in any situation.
Jessica Vauclair (RHP- Tundra Falls) - The 31 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: Erica Darby (LHP- Springfield)- Darby is a 22-year old makes her second WBC appearance. Initially she seemed like she would be an above average but not a superstar as a starting pitcher, but once Springfield moved her to the bullpen, she was dominant. She did not allow an earned run in a 36 inning stretch of her final 31 appearances of the regular season, and the Rockets will be looking to continue to ride this Thoroughbred.
Closer: Jill Heisler (RHP- Fairfield City)- Heisler is another player making her WBC debut in Liventia. The 23-year old hard throwing member of the Admirals is your classic closer that looks to the heat to get batters out. But she also mixes up speeds very well. And that circle change she adds at key points of an at bat will drive batters crazy. She has a decent slider, but doesn’t use it a lot.
Batting Order: (throws/bats)
1) Brittany Wright- CF (R/R- North Charlotte)- Wright is everything you want in a leadoff hitter. The 28 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 .318 BA. Some may consider her to be the MVP of the team as she has really seemed to pick her game when the team needs it most.
2) Jennifer Martin- LF (R/S- Pocono City)- Martin, 24,makes her second appearance. Jennifer is more of a contact hitter then Michelle Rancourt (her predecessor), who was on the team more for her wheels. She is expected to be able to handle the pressure of playing at this level without trouble.
3) Carrie Nicolette- 2B (R/S- Southport)- 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 30 year old has a career .347 BA. Nicolette does a great job getting on base and allowing the big guns behind her to bring her in, a formula that has worked extremely well.
4) Rachel Crockett- RF (R/S- Springfield)- 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 30 year old slugger.
5) Sarah Boland- 3B (L/S- Springfield)- Boland has the same HR capability as does Crockett, she’s just slightly less of an all-around player, with a .316 career BA. Also like Crockett, the 33 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, and has produced some of the biggest HR’s in Newmanistan’s WBC history.
6) Natalie Monroe- 1B (R/R- Hampton)- Natalie is in her fourth World Baseball Classic, but the 25 year old’s career has had a breakthrough. Previously regarded as a player who will hit around .315 with 25 HR’s, Natalie has hit .330 and .339 the last two years with 33 and 38 HR’s, respectively. It’ll be interesting to see how much of a bigger role she has in Qazox.
7) Jennifer Bennett- C (L/L- Centralia)- Bennett is the only first-time player in the starting lineup, this is because Nicole Flick has hung them up. Jennifer, at only, 22 years old may become a fixture here. She’s improving her behind the plate skills, but has a lot of ability with the bat. In her first two seasons, she has averaged 23 HR’s and a BA of .320.
8) Tara Cuyler- SS (R/S- South Tier)- 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 .338 hitter, and can hit the ball over the fence with regularity. She is a 30-year old veteran.
9) Pitcher (w/o DH)
9) (w/ DH) Caitlin Peters (INF by trade- Putnam Lake) (R/S)- Caitlin is a speedster, and capable of leading off. When her and Wright lead off an inning, pitchers will not have a fun time. The 32-year old is strictly a contact hitter, with a career BA of .325. She has never hit more then three HR’s in a single season, and only has 24 in her eleven-year career. Doubles? That’s her thing.
On the Bench:
Sarah Conrad- C (utility OF as a last resort if necessary) Tundra Falls (Does not pinch hit unless absolutely necessary. Pitcher Courtney Lombardi, if possible, will pinch hit over her as well if the situation called for it.)
Jennifer Dawkins- MI (Middle Infield)- Dover City (preferred pinch hitter #1)
Stacie Gallant- CI (Corner Infield)- Loudon (preferred pinch hitter #2)
Kiersten Johnson- OF- Centralia (preferred pinch runner)
Meghann Carillo- OF- South Charlotte
Erica Hilton- Utility- Fairfield City (only first year player amongst the bench group)
3 of the last 4 WBC gold medals have come to Qazox, and now they host the tourney once again. But hosting the WBC, or any other major event, has seemingly made Qazox vincible. in the last 3 WBC's hosted by Qazox, they've finished: Quarterfinalists, 7th in Pool B (Did not qualify for playoffs), and 3rd in Pool D (Did not qualify for playoffs). But since that early round flame-out in WBC 5, Qazox has won 3 titles and has a 3rd place finish. At World Bowl IV, Qazox was knocked out in the Quarterfinals, and at the 7th World Cup of Hockey, they lost in the finals. So in 5 international competition hostings, Qazox has never taken home a title on its soil.
Will Qazox' strange bad-luck in hosting cost them a chance at history? Or will the hosting-jinx finally be broken?
The team will return all but 2 of the players that won in Liventia just 2 years ago. (They will be in Italics below)
STARTING LINEUP: (Bats/Throws)
- CF- Darren Pew: (R/R) Classic leadoff hitter, Plenty of speed and gets on base. Has an below average throwing arm in the field.
- 2B- Herman Doane: (R/R)The best fielder on the team, but is streaky at the plate. Has little power, but can hit it anywhere.
- 1B- Douglas Ellenburg: (L/R) Hits for power, but strikes out alot. Has a decent glove for a first baseman, but will drop a few here and there.
- RF- Angel Monks: (L/L) 4-tool player, Can do almost everything. Has only an average range in the field and a spotty arm.
- 3B- Clark Petrie: (R/R) Solid glove at the hot corner. Inconsistant at the plate, but has good power.
- LF- Kyle Bryon: (S/R) Like Monks, a 4-tool player, Great arm, but has no bat power. Can hit it anywhere.
- C- Mickey Weatherby: (R/R) Unlike past Qazoxian catchers, he can be run on, but can handle every pitch and has some pop in bat.
- SS- Johnnie Bannon: (L/L)Great glove at short, can play anywhere on infield, but struggles at times at the plate.
- Pitcher: (see below)
For games involving a DH, please place the DH as the #4 batter and drop everyone down acordingly.
DH- Hank Yans (also back-up catcher): Hits the ball a mile, but strikes out alot as well. Decent enough behind the plate, and has better arm than Weatherby.
STARTING PITCHING:
- #1 (LHP)- Rick Highfield: Has a 98-mph fastball, a good slider and a good changeup. Does tend to fall behind in the count.
- #2 (RHP)- Glen Barter: Good fastball, good curve, a decent changeup. Tends to give up a few HR on changeup.
- #3 (RHP)- Corey Delrosario: Great slider, average fastball and average curveball. Can throw a knuckleball on occasion.
- #4 (RHP)- Tyle Newson: Has a good circle-change and a good splitfinger fastball, but a hanging curve which does get crushed often.
BENCH:
1B: Oliver Tyes- Good fielder at first, but liability at bat, used for defensive purposes mostly.
2B: Victor Young- Quick runner, usually a pinch runner, as bat skills are ineffective.
INF: Randy Michaels- Good overall player, but has fielding issues and is usually put in in blowouts.
SS/3B: Sean Schell: Good bat off the bench and has decent fielding, but tends to make too many errors.
OF: Annabelle Lucien: The 1st female to earn a roster spot for Qazox. Will mostly be used for pinch-running purposes, but does have a great arm in the outfield, and may be used defensively
OF: Alvin Kulesza: Best pinch-hitter on team. Works the count real well, but has erractic arm.
UTIL: Clayton Sommerfeld: A good bat of the bench, but has a dead arm and probably be used at 1st base if needed at all.
BULLPEN:
RP (LHP)- Brian Rescovich: Middle relief. Has a good slider and curve, but has a hanging fastball.
RP (RHP)- Nathaniel Schuyler: Godd setup man, has good curveball that tends to get hit into the ground.
RP (LHP)- Francis Scarbourgh: Long relief. Can go 3 innings if needed, but tends to get more ragged the longer he goes.
RP (RHP)- David Haskins: Used in mop-up role. Has decent stuff, but is wild.
CP (RHP)- Jackson Throne: Has 97-mph fastball and a 12-6 slider that lefties can't hit.
My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following:
Choose my runscorers: Yes
Choose my lineup: follow the one i have.
Follow my Pitching rotation Rotation: YES
Godmod scoring events: no
RP injuries to my players: Yes
Godmod injuries to my players: no

In other news after Qazox Dh rule decision, the Knights have decided to kill anyone who tells during a story that we used a dh...
Two days before the start of the tenth edition of the WBC, the Nordics have already arrived in Qazox and are hard at work preparing them selves to face the best the rest of the world has to offer. Despite the favorable group draw which places the Nordics in Group A, a group that only features only one real statistical threat to the Nordics simply running away with the group, Zwangzug. Despite their presence, the Nordics are still the highest rank team in their group and many feel that will sit on top of the division at the end of group play.
Indeed, everything does point to the Nordics having their best WBC yet. After placing third in the last edition and enjoying their new status as one of the worlds Top 5 teams there is a lot to be excited about. "Still." Manager Paul Rudolf reminded the press. "We can't underestimate anyone. Just like last time, we're going to go out there and play as hard as we can against every single one of our opponents, no matter who they are." He said in a brief interview with the press, after which he went right back to work supervising the training of his squad.

ooc: This is cool, how did you guys organize something like this?
(OOC: Qazox, you are aware that I have a roster on this thread, right? You've linked several others that came after mine but not mine). I don't want to lose potential scorination points.
(OOC: Qazox, you are aware that I have a roster on this thread, right? You've linked several others that came after mine but not mine). I don't want to lose potential scorination points.
(ooc: Your not... just keep forgetting to link to it.)
Match Day 1 scores will be up around 11:30pm tonight. Please attempt to have your roster posted by then. thanks.
It's time for the show to begin. The pine tars been applied, the tickets scalped and the packs of bubble-gum and sunflower seeds opened. The Nordics put on a show during batting practice, with Captain Haviland depositing souvenirs to all areas of the field in particular, but the rest of the line up was no disappointment either. Even starting pitcher Tommy Thunder knocked a few out. The Nordics do indeed look more than ready to take the field in their first game against newcomer San Castello.
In a somewhat superstitious, but at the same time symbolic gesture each player sprinkled soil brought from their homelands over their starting positions in the field for good luck. It might seem odd with all of the fan support their getting, but they aren't going to take anything for granted. They want every advantage they can get.
