March 10Mar 10 https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/03/04/baseball/japanese-baseball/netflix-wbc-traditions/ Netflix is basically trying to force all of Japan to subscribe to Netflix Japan services since WBC games have always been carried on traditional free/antenna tv. Of course that means a rights fee of 10-15 billion yen...$63.5-$100 million USD. (Remember all the newly-negotiate MLB tv deals only equal $550 million per year.) "Ohtani’s performance last time really got everyone fired up, but my excitement has dropped a lot now that it seems we can’t watch,” said the 72 year-old. He usually relies on his two sons, who live near Tokyo, for tech support, but they’re too far away to help him set up his TV." "Streaming has opened up the space for more bidders to seek sport telecasting,” said Andrew Zimbalist, a professor emeritus of economics at Smith College in Massachusetts. "But as streaming services expand, traditional broadcasters lose market share and ability to cast high bids.” Hiroto Takahashi at 96 mph in the first inning against Czechia.

March 10Mar 10 Ohtani seems to be really close to Mune...genuinely happy even though game not in doubt, big smiles from both maybe he can relax now for quarterfinals they are almost always together in dugout along with Seiya would still bench Okamoto or Kondoh for Sato next game in Miami CF Shuto really had the big hit three run homer pulled to RF to break it wide open Satoria getting standing ovation from crowd will remember that moment forever likely Japan vs. Venezuela next Saturday 9 pm in Miami Korea vs. DR Edited March 10Mar 10 by caulfield12

But for a pitcher whose fastball barely tops 80 mph, it was just strange enough to work: Ohtani swung, spinning in the box, his helmet tumbling off his head. The clip spread around the world and Satoria became a celebrity -- in Japan, at least. Back home in Czechia, baseball may be growing but it’s still small. No one is stopping Satoria on the street to pose for a photograph like they are in Tokyo. “It’s really nice for me,” Satoria said. “It’s like a reward for my whole life playing baseball because nobody knows me in Czechia. I’m just a regular dude from Ostrava, but here they respect me and have me sign balls. It’s really nice to be back here.” Edited March 10Mar 10 by caulfield12
