Este maravilloso evento lo abrió el choque entre Curazao y Cuba, con victoria para los de la Isla de 3 por 1, en el segundo juego del día se enfrentaron los de la República Dominicana con México, con victoria cerrada para los mariachis de 5 carreras a 4, el penúltimo juego de la jornada de ayer lo protagonizaron, Puerto Rico y Colombia, con aplastante triunfo para los cafeteros de 7 por 1, mientras que el choque más esperado, fue el de Venezuela en contra de Panamá, dicho juego se realiza en el nuevo estadio Monumental, los de la tierra del Libertador lograron llevarse el juego gracias a que su ofensiva pudo elaborar 5 carreras, mientras que su picheo limito a su rival a solo 2 carreras, en los resultados de ayer no se dieron muchas sorpresas; sin embargo, el triunfo de Colombia y de México dejan una buena imagen ante sus rivales.
Es realmente llamativo la aceptación que le han dado los aficionados a esta serie, se nota que teníamos más de una década sin poder albergar un evento de esta magnitud, el país está resaltando por su gran organización, y con dos estadios con talla de grandes ligas, sin duda alguna esta serie será una de las mejores a nivel organizativo de los últimos años, y si la fanaticada responde como lo hicieron anoche, cuando más de 35 mil personas entraron a la Monumental de Caracas, será un éxito en todos los aspectos.
The Venezuelan baseball league has come to an end with the Leones del Caracas as owners of the title, but now the country is hosting the Caribbean baseball classic, for the first time 8 teams representing their respective countries will seek to win the 2023 Caribbean Series, Panama, Cuba, Colombia, Curacao, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and Venezuela as host country, began the actions yesterday February 2, with four games, two at the Forum of La Guaira or also known as the Jorge Luis Garcia Carneiro, while the other two games were held at the modern stadium of the capital city, which bears the name, Monumental Stadium of Caracas, Simon Bolivar.
This wonderful event was opened by the clash between Curacao and Cuba, with a 3-1 victory for the islanders; the second game of the day was between the Dominican Republic and Mexico, with a close victory for the Mariachis of 5 runs to 4; the penultimate game of the day was played by Puerto Rico and Colombia, with a crushing victory for the Cafeteros of 7-1, while the most awaited game was that of Venezuela against Panama, this game took place in the new Monumental stadium, the team from the land of the Liberator managed to win the game thanks to the fact that their offense was able to produce 5 runs, while their pitching limited their opponent to only 2 runs, in yesterday's results there were not many surprises; However, the triumph of Colombia and Mexico leave a good image in front of their rivals.
It is really striking the acceptance that the fans have given to this series, it is noticeable that we had more than a decade without being able to host an event of this magnitude, the country is standing out for its great organization, and with two stadiums with major league stature, no doubt this series will be one of the best organizational level of recent years, and if the fans respond as they did last night, when more than 35 thousand people entered the Monumental de Caracas, it will be a success in all aspects.
Analizando a cada equipo que busca el título, puedo decir que veo con bastante chance a las representaciones de México, República Dominicana y de Venezuela, están bastante completos, con picheo y ofensiva, tanto así que los dirigidos por Alguacil se dan el lujo de tener en la banca a Ángel Reyes y a Danrry Vásquez, dos peloteros con excelentes números ofensivos en los últimos 5 años en nuestra liga de pelota profesional, este trío de equipos antes mencionado no deberían tener ningún tipo de problemas para acceder a la etapa semifinal de este torneo, ya hablar de un favorito claro, sería un verdadero atrevimiento de mi parte.
Se espera otro gran lleno en apoyo al equipo de los Leones de Venezuela, pero esta vez la cita seria en el estadio de La Guiara, quizás veremos una buena cantidad de pelotas caer al mar, batazos que cualquiera de los equipos que allí jueguen podrían dar, o, por lo contrario, ver duelos de picheo que nos hagan recordar esos años en donde los brazos de los lanzadores de antaño se imponían a los bates de grandes ligas que solían visitar el Caribe y jugar en esas ligas, que fueron tan importantes para el desarrollo de dichos jugadores.
It is notorious the importance given by the 8 teams that have been present in this edition of the Caribbean classic, the team representing the island of Curacao has in its ranks players who will surely travel to the World Baseball Classic, for its part the Dominican representation has a number of players of trajectory, An example of what I am talking about is Robinson Cano, in Colombia there are a good number of Venezuelans playing, as they have been participating in recent years in that league, a nice experience that we are living in this edition, is that we have two managers born in Venezuela, one with the Mexican team and another leading the national team. They are Jose Moreno and Jose Alguacil.
Analyzing each team looking for the title, I can say that I see a good chance for the representations of Mexico, Dominican Republic and Venezuela, they are quite complete, with pitching and offense, so much so that those led by Alguacil have the luxury of having Angel Reyes and Danrry Vasquez on the bench, two players with excellent offensive numbers in the last 5 years in our professional baseball league, this trio of teams mentioned above should not have any problems to reach the semifinal stage of this tournament, and to speak of a clear favorite, would be a real daring on my part.
Another great full house is expected in support of the Leones de Venezuela team, but this time the date would be at La Guiara stadium, maybe we will see a good amount of balls falling into the sea, hits that any of the teams playing there could give, or, on the contrary, see pitching duels that make us remember those years where the arms of the pitchers of yesteryear were imposed to the big league bats that used to visit the Caribbean and play in those leagues, which were so important for the development of these players.
We have approximately one week of emotions left, and in this way we will know the new champion of the Caribbean Series, or we could see Colombians obtain their second consecutive cup, which would make them revalidate last year's triumph, immediately at the end of this series will begin the spring training by the different teams of the major leagues and the preparations for the upcoming World Baseball Classic, which will be held next March, that is to say we have it just around the corner, so baseball material we will have in the days to come, thank you very much for your attention and we will read in the next publication.
