There was a clear favorite, a tournament where they lacked the stars, a Puerto Rican home where the ball was in limbo, in order Caribbean Series with a new scenario increasingly worn, where Mexico showed that it was the sole male in the tournament.
Although, for the first time the celebration was not done in the field, because the Aztecs won early in his party, and had to wait in their hotel to celebrate the victory of the Dominican Port Rico, and thus give his sixth title, the first since 2005, coincidentally the first for the City of Obregon Yaquis in Caribbean history.
came up with no stars were the monarchs of the Caribbean |
The event was about to witness a quadruple tie for his last day as City Yaquis Obregón (Mexico) and Criollos de Caguas (Puerto Rico) were tied for first place with 3-2, while Toros del Este ( Dominican Republic) and Caribe de Anzoátegui (Venezuela) were second with 2-3, which meant that if Venezuelans and Dominicans won their respective matches would be played the extra time to determine the champion.
But it never happened, and that Venezuela fell into his commitment and facilitated the Aztec victory, allowing little hands to hold back a trophy Caribbean for the first time in Puerto Rican soil.
A different scenario
For decisions like this is that the Caribbean Series, remains in limbo, which seems not to leave, in addition to mismanagement President Juan Francisco Puello Herrera, who seems to respond to personal interests that favor the Caribbean leagues.
If the scene of a quadruple tie is given, the Confederation said they have the tiebreaker for two teams who finish tied for first place, but if there are four simply through an unorthodox formula would eliminate two teams without playing.
"Regulations of the Caribbean Series states that if four teams finish tied, it would eliminate two particular series or the average runs scored and allowed and the top two would advance an extra set ... if the tie is between three, is eliminated when it lost in the particular series or run average and two will be the final, "Puello Herrera assured.
face of such aberration the efforts of all teams vanish unsportsmanlike by a rule, that is, after all deal with a regular season, a play off and reach the Caribbean series, to be removed by this formula, not God's forgiveness.
Puello Herrera, assure that the limitations are due to the deal with Major League Baseball (MLB) is not changing event on February 8, for which the option of two replays I would never succeed.
Again the lack of positive engagement with the leagues Caribbean Confederation, along with the tournament set for each league, an issue that should review in the future.
Mexico, the Caribbean Monarch
celebrated their championship against Venezuela |
had in common Caribbean teams of Anzoátegui, Ciudad Obregon Yaquis, Toros del Este and Criollos de Caguas, since both Venezuelans, Dominicans and Mexicans went to get his first trophy as champions in this event, as the Puerto Ricans had a trophy data from the 80's, with special the event to the other teams.
Well, that expected term for the Yaquis that bind to other teams that have won the trophy for the Caribbean Aztec country, and although the conclusion was not made in the field was found; teamwork that despite not having known figures, they were able to manage well the meetings, including the opening where they beat the Dominicans in fifteen innings.
The official results of Mexico in this event was verified in two victories over Dominican Republic and Venezuela, while Puerto Ricans defeated them in both games they made, for which, a day of deciding between Puerto Rico and Mexico had been a bitter pill for the Aztecs could not be imposed on the household.
The Dominican Eddy Diaz, head of the Mexican national team just learned to make changes and overcome the injuries Iker Franco and Oscar Robles to win the title.
Julio Franco could not give the same satisfaction to his love |
Fight Caribbean until the end
can not be denied that the Venezuelan monarchs gave their last breath to the end, it was clear the players wear, never batting team as they did in the tournament local and in the final. Although bats Kroeger, Salazar, Chavez and Herrera were not the representation that was not marred in the paper, but I notice that some players had not yet adjusted the timming.
clear Something must be noted, was not hitting, it was demonstrated for the Caribbean of Anzoategui, was not the same team who handed out fly balls in the final against Aragua, Alex Romero, Alexi Amarista, Jose Castillo, Cesar Suarez, Eliezer Alfonzo, never met the hit, was noted in the case of Castillo and Smith are the first pitch hitters and knowing that knew the opponents did not make the adjustments and went with bad pitches; Niuma Romero showed why it is not yet a star in the majors, due to indecision in the routine plays. Luis Jimenez was only factor of joy to the native representation, with Jackson Melian, Henry Rodriguez (unique in the all-star), Luis Nunez, Seth Etherton, Orberá Moreno, Alex Herrera and Francisco Butt.
Creole The only chick in the All Star |
Despite harboring a hope on the final day, Julio Franco was unable to give the incentive to his players as he did in the regular season with arbitration awards that hurt the tribe could have gone further.
But the premise is clear, if not career punts and factories, run the risk of losing, as it did in its commitment to junior thanks to Puerto Rico to tickets and do not hit at the right time were defeated against a team that never gave the game-winning hit.
Until the next event in the Dominican Republic, not yet confirmed stage as La Romana is not confirmed as the venue of the classic number 53, being now Santo Domingo or the same stage pending the Confederation headquarters approval.
