/ CONFEDERATION CUP / DAY 5 RECAP / JUNE 19 / 2026

Brasschaat won the replay. Hroši protected the final plan.

Day 5 moved the round-robin board to 8-for-10. Brasschaat's 11-5 win is a real offensive warning, but Hroši protected all five previously used pitchers and rested four of its five top Day 4 bats. The final update must price both truths.

Published recap

June 19, 2026

Round-robin games 9-10, with the full table fixed.

Official usage data supports a strong tactical-rest signal, not a declared intent claim.

Rotation-aware final update from the StatPredict v2 matchup prior.

Round-robin calls

Day 5 was 1-for-2 after four straight clean direction days.

Day 5 runs

Against 21.4 projected; the distribution, not the aggregate, was the miss.

Tactical weight

Applied to G9 after pitcher protection and batting-core rest.

Final call

Hroši remain favorites in the rotation-aware model.

/ Reality check

One directional hit, one meaningful miss

The aggregate total stayed close, but the two games landed at opposite extremes: G9 reached 16 runs while G10 produced only three, all unearned.

Winner hit, run model missed badly: four pitchers combined for three unearned runs and 17 strikeouts.

/ Tactical assessment

Strong rest signal, not evidence of intent to lose

The inference comes from official usage: all five previously used Hroši pitchers were protected and four of five top Day 4 bats were absent.

01

Pitching deployment

Čech and Schwarzinger handled all 8 innings; none of Hroši's 5 previously used pitchers appeared.

The replay exposed almost none of the likely final pitching plan.

02

Damage concentration

Schwarzinger: 4.0 IP, 13 H, 9 ER.

Nine of Brasschaat's 11 runs came against one reserve/two-way arm.

03

Batting-order protection

Jacques, Johnson, Alvarez Amatima and Ondroušek were absent from the Day 4 impact core.

Hroši still produced 5 runs, 9 hits and 8 walks.

04

Brasschaat form

15 hits and 4 home runs.

The contact and power signal remains real after discounting opponent pitching quality.

05

Final-day workload

Brasschaat used 160 pitches; Hroši used 109, with zero from its previously used staff.

Hroši protected more of the likely final inventory.

/ Final table

Brasschaat close the round robin 4-0

Rouen finish 2-2 with a +14 run differential after two opening one-run losses, but remain one win short of the final.

/ Table mechanics

The final round-robin ledger

Brasschaat own first place and the best TQB. Rouen's +14 differential confirms the recovery, even though the standings keep them third.

/ Final forecast

The scoreboard matters, but it does not get full weight

A full-weight update overstates G9; ignoring it understates Brasschaat's form. The final model applies 35% of the result signal.
