There are 3 steps guys. Go read them.

Three Teams Tied 1-2: If there are three teams tied 1-2, then the tiebreaker rules would be applied to rank the three, and the first two ranked teams would play a tiebreaker game, the winner of which would advance. The tiebreaker rules will be applied as follows:

Step 1: The tied Teams shall be ranked in the standings for that Round according to fewest runs allowed divided by the number of innings (including partial innings) played in defense in the games in that Round between the Teams tied.

Step 2: The tied Teams shall be ranked in the standings according to fewest earned runs allowed divided by the number of innings (including partial innings) played in defense in the games in that Round between the Teams tied.

Step 3: The tied Teams shall be ranked in the standings according to highest batting average in games in that Round between the Teams tied.

Step 4: Standings shall be determined by the drawing of lots, conducted by WBCI

Welcome to Round Robin Pool Play Tournaments. Where if you get stuck in a tie you better have better numbers on paper.

What a fucking joke, jesus. I knew it was going to be a clusterfck.

I get mlb reasoning but its absurd to go with that the box score says in this case. Obviously the 9th vs Italy existed.

Schrödinger's inning


They also probably killed México's interest in this forever. Here in Venezuela everyone's ok with the loss because we have fucking sucked so much.

So apparently Mexico is in again and Venezuela is out!? Who's in charge of this goddamn tournament? And could the tie break be any more confusing? Jesus Christ!

In the WBC website they put TBD again for tonight's tiebreak game. Mexico put out a formal protest after the game and the MLB hasn't declared a resolution so Mexico is still in for now. I'm so confused.

MLB.com still has Venezuela vs Italy scheduled.

In a wild game with huge implications for Pool D of the World Baseball Classic, Mexico held off Venezuela in an 11-9 victory on Sunday night at Estadio de Beisbol Charros de Jalisco.

As a result, Mexico, Venezuela and Italy all finished with records of 1-2 in pool play. Under Classic tiebreaker rules, the two teams with the fewest runs allowed per defensive inning among the teams tied during the tournament play a tiebreaker, and the other is eliminated.

Major League Baseball announced that Venezuela (1.11 runs allowed per defensive inning) and Italy (1.05 runs allowed) will play tonight at 9 p.m. ET to determine which team from Pool D joins Puerto Rico in the second round. Mexico filed a protest after the game.

The razor-thin margin that decided the tiebreaker is reflective of how three evenly matched these 1-2 teams are. And given the fact that they all lost to Puerto Rico and allowed at least a run per inning in the games against the other two, no team had an obvious case for advancement.

Mexico protested that ruling based on how those figures were calculated. The general manager of Team Mexico, Kundy Gutierrez, told reporters after the game that discussions regarding the ruling were taking place between MLB chief baseball officer Joe Torre and senior vice president of baseball operations Kim Ng. The ruling was later confirmed, and Venezuela will play Italy for the Pool D tiebreaker.

Mexico finished with 1.12 runs allowed per defensive inning, edged out by the slimmest of margins by Venezuela with Sunday's head-to-head outcome. Even though Mexico gave up five runs in the ninth inning of a loss to Italy on Thursday, only eight defensive innings were counted from that game toward the calculation because an out was never recorded in the ninth.

True that. But they could and should strive for better rules and making them clearer. There's no excuse for the organizers announcing everywhere it's Mexico vs Italy only to an hour later go oops we fucked up. That can't be tolerated.

I don't know where you saw Mexico in. Because ever since 5am eastern MLB had Venezuela in. Who are these organizers you speak of?

I'm not ready for tomorrow's civil war at home. All I know is that whichever team wins the other is going to be intolerable.

I don't know man, most Ricans WANT to beat DR but don't really expect it to happen. Even if PR does win, it'll be cool and all but they need a WBC title because Dominicans will hold that over their heads. The whole PR/DR - love/hate thing makes for great theater.

I mean there's the obvious, ESPN: at its heart an American outlet, read by a lot of Americans, that's probably what they want to see. Or, maybe talent wise it's closer than it seems.
